Diet informationThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and an indicator of the speed with which the carbohydrates of the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters body. The theory is that long-acting foods (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help to reduce your intake of food without feeling hungry. It is also extremely useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in controlling increases in blood glucose amount. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Dr. arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his nutritional system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his analysis of scientific research completed on other weight loss regimes. "good" foods include, canadian bacon, turkey bacon, shrimp, ricotta cheese, pecan halves, nonfat milk and certain vegetables, like split peas, celery and spinach. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet followers claim that they really reduce body weight when following it. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of equilibrium that is more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important process of the zone diet is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables fat reduction but still allows you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, such as bacon and hard cheese. With the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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 this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to transform into carbs, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we cut down on carbs, we will utilize our fat and we will lose weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all doctors are in agreement and many allege that it is sometimes hazardous. |
