The Atkins diet isn't as popular as it once was. I remember my mother being into Atkins in the early 2000's; for a while, I thought it was the best idea ever. Who wouldn't love a diet that asked you to eat as much bacon as you could?
The basic idea was to eat more protein at the expense of carbohydrates. Theory being that the body will burn carbs first if they are around, but if they aren't, the body will burn fat. So, up the fat content of your diet and decrease the carb content. The diet can be hard to follow, especially in the first two weeks.
The movement lost momentum (unfairly, really) when Dr. Atkins himself died of a massive heart-attack. Whoops.
That said, there still is a crowd that does the Atkins thing. Hell, you don't really have to be into Atkins: if you're a body builder or you're working out or just plain growing, lots of protein is a good thing.
Here's a recipe for a high protein diet bread:
Water - 1.25 cups
Vegetable oil - 1.5 tablespoons
Honey - 1.5 tablespoons
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Wheat germ - 3 tablespoons
Soy Flour - 1.33 cups
Whole Wheat Flour - 1.33 cups
Bread Flour - 1.66 cups
Dry Milk - One third of a cup
Yeast - 2 Teaspoons
Warning - you might be able to guess based on the recipe that this isn't going to be a light, fluffy loaf. With more flour and wheat germ than we're used to seeing, this is going to be a pretty dense loaf. It still tastes pretty good though, and you'll be contributing towards your protein quota by eating it.
