Weight loss diets


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and a score illustrating the ease that the energy of the food type gets converted to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to eat less food without starving yourself.
It's also beneficial for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in reducing surges in blood sugar levels.


The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg fatty meat and egg and cheese.
On the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, diet.
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.
On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The theory of the atkins diet is that if we reduce your consumption of carbs, we will burn up the fat we already carry and we will lose weight

"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
