The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other dietary studies. Approved foods include, canadian bacon, turkey bacon, oysters, parmesan cheese, peanut butter, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as green beans, cucumbers and mushrooms. The low-cal diet In simple terms, low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you want to reduce weight, then you have to take in fewer calories than you actually use. So what is a calorie? The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The food calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. If a meal has higher calories, then it will will give you a larger amount of energy when it is eaten. Low-cal foods include cauliflower, tomato, apricot, beef, and low-fat cheese. Superfoods containing flavonoids (inlcudes citrus fruits, brussels sprouts, soya beans & basil) The large family of compounds known as flavonoids discovered in these fruit and vegetables show promise as anti-carcinogens. Experts looking into the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they also have many other benefits to our health, including, but not limited to, anti-dermatitis and anti-platelet powers. Most also help you lose weight, so should be included in your weight loss program. |
