Diet typesThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, however many people claim that they lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts one's body in a balanced state which is more healthy than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat. The key procedure of the zone system is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his dietary regime for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific research on other weight loss regimes. "good" foods include, lean beef, turkey breast, shrimp, cottage cheese, pistachio nuts, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like artichokes, celery and water chestnuts. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as beef and eggs. On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weight loss 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. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. |
