Dieting tips

The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like bacon and some dairy produce.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/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.
With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.
