The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet started by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which stresses that one should consume "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed the south beach diet for people who have cardiac problems, based on his detailed analysis of scientific studies completed on other diets. Approved foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, prawns, low or fat free cheeses, pistachios, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like kidney beans, eggplant and mushrooms. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing many of the foods you love, eg bacon and egg and cheese. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into glucose, it is the carbs that are burned initially. If we take in fewer carbs, we will burn up our fat and we will achieve weight loss. Although tempting, the atkins diet is contentious, not all experts are in agreement and some think it is often unsafe. Foods containing carotenes (includes parsley, rose hip puree and winter squash) These colorful healthy plants have high levels of the carotenoids thought by experts to play a role in helping stop cancer, particularly those cancers involving the stomach. The majority of these also help you lose weight, so should be a part of every weight loss regime. |
