Weight loss systemsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Dr. arthur agatston which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific studies completed on other weight loss studies. Approved foods include, veal cutlets, chicken breast, clams, low or fat free cheeses, pistachio nuts, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like butter beans, eggplant and water chestnuts. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it enables fat reduction whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg lamb and egg and cheese. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/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. With this 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 logic of the atkins diet is that even if our bodies use both fats and carbs to convert into carbohydrates, it is the carbohydrates which are burned primarily. If we reduce your intake of carbs, we will use the fat we already carry and we will lose weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all specialists are in agreement and a few allege that it is sometimes dangerous. |
