Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg fatty meat and cheeses. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. 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 are 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 of the popular atkins diet is that if we eat less carbohydrates, we will use up our fat and we will lose weight The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented this diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific studies completed on other dietary studies. Examples of good foods include, lean cuts of beef, skinless poultry, shrimp, provolone cheese, peanuts, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as chickpeas, collard greens and turnips. |
