The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight reduction but still allows you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, such as meat and eggs.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss regime.
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.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The 'science' behind the famous atkins diet is that if we eat fewer carbs, our bodies will use up the fat we already carry and we will become thinner
