Weight loss diets


The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, such as meat and egg and cheese.
With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a high protein, low carb, nutrition 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.
With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil.




The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the ease with which the energy of the food type gets changed to sugar in your body. The believe is that slow acting types of food (ie those food types with a low Gi score), keep you feeling full longer and help to eat less food without being miserabl;e.
It is also extremeley useful for diabetics, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in preventing increases in blood sugar amount.


The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet created by Dr. arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Dr. agatston invented his weight loss system for his cardiac patients, as a result of his analysis of scientific data on other diets.
Approved foods include, broiled ham, turkey breast, oysters, feta cheese, pistachios, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like asparagus, cabbage and spinach.

"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
