The low calorie diet
Rather obviously, low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you intend to reduce weight, the most important step is to consume fewer calories than you use. What is a calorie? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. If a food has more calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body burns it. Low calorie foods include cauliflower, watercress, melon, lower fat hot-dogs, and white eggs. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that one should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his dietary regime for people who have cardiac problems, based on his analysis of scientific research completed on other dietary studies. Good foods include, broiled ham, chicken breast, fish and shellfish, parmesan cheese, peanuts, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like green beans, eggplant and spinach. Flavonoid foods (inlcudes olive oil, apples, scarlet runner bean and tea) The compounds known as flavonoids present in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are believed to have properties as anti-carcinogens. Specialists studying the medical effects of flavonoids suspect that they may also have many other benefits to our wellbeing, including anti-viral and antiplatelet powers. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your weight loss regime. |
