Weight loss systems The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his weight loss system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his detailed study of scientific data on other nutritional studies. Good foods include, veal cutlets, turkey breast, fish, ricotta cheese, peanut butter, nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as asparagus, cabbage and sprouts. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, although some people believe that they actually manage to lose body weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance which is a lot more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat. The most important process of the zone diet is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.

"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
