The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the famous atkins diet is still widely used today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like bacon and eggs.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, diet system.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour.
On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.
