Weight loss systemsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet invented by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented his system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies on other weight loss systems. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, turkey breast, oysters, feta cheese, pistachios, nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as chickpeas, celery and water chestnuts. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it supposedly allows weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, such as fatty meat and hard cheese. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weight loss 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. On 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 index nutrition and weight loss system is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and a score representing the speed that the glucose of the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters system. The claim is that long-acting food types (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can cut down on food without feeling you are missing out. It's also beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI food types are beneficial in minimizing increases in glucose secretion. |
