Weight loss systemsThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet is still widely used today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg meat and hard cheeses. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition 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 this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Dr. arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed the south beach diet for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific research completed on other weight loss regimes. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, fish and shellfish, cottage cheese, pecan halves, eggs and certain vegetables, like lentils, cabbage and turnips. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of foods and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the carbohydrates in the food gets changed to glucose in your body. The theory is that slow release food types (ie with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can eat less food without feeling hungry. It is also extremely effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in minimizing increases in blood sugar levels. |
