Diet typesThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, although some people claim that they actually reduce a few pounds by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of balance that is more healthy than it normally is, known as the 'zone'. Sears claims that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The key technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition system is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list showing types of food and a score representing the rapidity that the carbohydrates in the food type gets changed to glucose in your bloodstream. The believe is that slow release types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to reduce your intake of food without craving snacks all the time. It's also very efficient for diabetics, as the low GI food types are helpful in preventing rises in glucose secretion. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed the south beach diet for people who have cardiac problems, based on his detailed study of scientific research completed on other weight loss systems. Good foods include, canadian bacon, skinless poultry, clams, feta cheese, peanut butter, eggs and some vegatables, such as chickpeas, celery and spinach. |
