Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system first suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many followers discover that they really reduce weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthy than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The key method of the system is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that one should consume "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his dietary regime for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other weight loss studies. Good foods include, lean cuts of beef, turkey bacon, seafood, low or fat free cheeses, almonds, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, like black beans, broccoli and water chestnuts. |
