The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight loss diet, although many people claim that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following it. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts one's body in a balanced state which is much more healthful than it normally is, which is known as the zone. Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not build up fat. The most important method of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented his weight loss regime as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his detailed study of scientific data completed on other weight loss studies. Examples of good foods include, canadian bacon, skinless poultry, prawns, mozzarella cheese, pecan halves, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like kidney beans, celery and spinach. Foods containing lycopene (includes water melon, papaya and cochinchin gourd) Lycopene is a simple pigment and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the reason for the deep red color of quite a few fruit, vegetables and pulses. Usefully, unlike many nutrients, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, but is in actuality increased in efficacy by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's most interesting health contribution is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the battle to lower the risks of developing cancer. It is the most efficacious fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It is also thought by many researchers to prevent the growth of atherosclerosis. |
