Diet Avocado Tuna Salad Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet typesThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his system for people who have cardiac problems, based on his detailed study of scientific research on other weight loss systems. Approved foods include, canadian bacon, turkey breast, shrimp, cottage cheese, pistachio nuts, nonfat milk and certain vegetables, like black beans, broccoli and water chestnuts. The Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like beef and egg and cheese. With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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 still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the famous atkins diet is that if we cut down on carbohydrates, our bodies will burn up the fat we have stored and we will achieve weight loss |
