Diet types The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his weight loss system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his analysis of scientific research completed on other nutritional studies. Examples of good foods include, broiled ham, turkey bacon, fish and shellfish, feta cheese, peanuts, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like artichokes, collard greens and mushrooms. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list of foods and a score illustrating the ease that the glucose and energy in the food type gets transformed to sugar in your bloodstream. The believe is that long-acting types of food (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite and mean that you can reduce your intake of food without starving yourself. It is also beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI food types are beneficial in preventing increases in blood sugar levels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight reduction diet, however some people believe that they really manage to lose a few pounds by following this system. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is much, much more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat. The key process of the diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
