Diet typesThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, but some people believe that they manage to lose weight by following this system. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the levels of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts one's body in a state of balance that is much, much more wholesome than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat. The key technique of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition system is based around the glycaemic index, a chart showing foods and an indicator of the ease that the carbohydrates in the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite and help to cut down on food without feeling you are missing out. It's also extremely effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in minimizing surges in blood glucose secretion. |
