The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example lamb and eggs.
With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. 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, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, 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 and olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic behind the famous atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to convert into glucose and energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we eat fewer carbs, we will deplete the fat we have stored and we will get rid of some fat. Although tempting, the atkins diet is contentious, not all experts are in agreement and a good number of think it can sometimes be bad for your health.
