Weight loss systemsThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weight loss system is based around the glycaemic index, a list showing types of food and a score representing the rapidity that the glucose and energy of the food gets converted to sugar in the dieters system. The believe is that slow acting foods (ie those food types with a low Gi score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help to eat less food without feeling hungry. It is also very useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are beneficial in minimizing surges in blood sugar amount. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as meat and butter. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a high protein, low carb, nutrition and weight loss system. 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. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. |
