The low-cal diet
As most people know, the low calorie diet depends on the fact that if you are going to get rid of some fat, then you have to consume less calories than you need for exercise. Definition of a calorie? The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If your meal has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when it is converted. Examples of low calorie foods include boiled potatoes, bell pepper, water melon, low fat ham, and low-fat cheese. The Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it allows weight loss but still allows you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, such as fatty meat and hard cheeses. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, weight loss regime. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to burn into carbs, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we injest less carbohydrates, we will consume our fat and we will become thinner. Although inviting, this theory is controversial, not all researchers accept this as true and many think it can sometimes be risky. The brassica family, Wonderfoods that also help your Your diet (eg. Arugula, Green beans, Turnip greens and Radishes) Members of the brassica family are full of vitamins (including vitamin c and folate), minerals (eg. potassium and selenium), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, indole-3-carbinol and isothiocyanates..
