Diet Cheese And Chicken Quesadillas Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the famous 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 foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as lamb and some dairy produce. With this diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, 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 continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into energy, it is the carbs which are burned first. If we reduce your intake of carbohydrates, our bodies will utilize our stored fat and we will lose weight. Although inviting, this theory is contentious, not all doctors agree and some experts think it is sometimes risky. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet invented by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his weight loss regime for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific research on other dietary studies. "good" foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, shrimp, mozzarella cheese, pistachio nuts, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like chickpeas, collard greens and water chestnuts. |
