The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight reduction diet, however many followers find that they really lose body weight by following this system. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is much, much more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The most valuable procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The low calorie diet In a nutshell, low calorie diet says that if you intend to diet successfully, the most important step is to eat fewer calories than your body requires. What is a calorie? The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a meal has higher calories, then it will gives you a larger amount of energy when eaten. Low-cal food types include bok choy, green peppers, guava, low fat ham, and bamboo shoots. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions) The onion and garlic family of foods is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is too little scientific proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought to help with antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your diet system. |
