The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not expressly a weight loss diet, but many people claim that they seem to lose weight by following it. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a balanced state which is far more wholesome than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears believes that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat. The most valuable process of the zone diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. The low-cal diet In simple terms, the low-cal diet depends on the fact that if you want to lose weight, it is important to eat fewer calories than you actually use. The calorie defined? The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If something has higher calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when it is converted. Low-cal food types include cauliflower, cabbage, melon, canadian bacon, and low-fat cheese. Lycopene super foods (includes guava, red bell peppers & tomato) Lycopene is a non-synthetic compound used to color foods and a member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the reason for the red colour of some fruits and vegetables. Unlike many nutritional compounds, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is in fact enhanced by being heated. . Lycoprene's most interesting theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to be an asset in the fight to lower the chances of cancer. It is the most efficacious fighter of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It's also thought by nutritionalists to slow down the growth of atherosclerosis. |
