The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the carbohydrates in the food gets converted to glucose in your blood stream. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and help you to take in less food without being miserabl;e. It's also very efficient for people with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in reducing increases in blood sugar amount. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his weight loss system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his analysis of scientific data on other weight loss studies. Good foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, fish, provolone cheese, almonds, lowfat milk and some vegatables, such as split peas, cauliflower and spinach. Super foods containing lycopene (includes apricot, papaya & sweet gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a naturally occurring pigment and part of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is the agent responsible for the red colour of quite a few natural foods. Unlike many healthy agents, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, but is essentially enhanced by being cooked. . Lycoprene's most valuable theraputic value is that it is an antioxidant and appears to help lower the chances of contracting cancer. It is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It's also thought by many researchers to hamper the development of atherosclerosis. |
