Diet types


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many followers discover that they actually reduce a few pounds by following this system.
The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to control the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts your body in a balanced state which is much, much more healthy than other diets, known as the 'zone'.
Sears alleges that when in the 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a result, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The key procedure of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition system is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and a score illustrating the ease that the energy of the food gets converted to sugar in your body. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Gi score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without being miserabl;e.
It is also especially beneficial for diabetics, as the low GI foods are helpful in managing increases in blood glucose amount.

"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
