Types of dietThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is reliant on the gi index, a list showing food types and an indicator of the ease that the energy of the food type gets converted to glucose in your body. The believe is that slow acting foods (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also especially beneficial for diabetics, as the low GI types of food are helpful in managing increases in glucose levels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet primarily devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight reduction diet, although many 'zone dieters' believe that they actually lose weight by following the zone diet. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state which is more wholesome than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up fat. The key method of the system is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the popular atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example beef and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. 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 the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that if we reduce your intake of carbohydrates, we will use the fat we have stored and we will lose weight |
