Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Popular with many famous celebrities, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, such as lamb and hard cheeses. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to convert into carbohydrates, it is the carbohydrates which are burned primarily. If we reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, our bodies will consume the fat we have stored and we will reduce weight. Although inviting, this theory is controversial, not all experts accept this as true and some experts feel it might be risky. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, however some people find that they really manage to lose body weight by following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts the body in a balanced state which is a lot more healthy than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The key process of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing food types and an indicator of the rapidity that the carbs of the food type gets converted to glucose in your blood stream. The believe is that long-acting food types (ie with a low Gi score), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without being miserabl;e. It's also extremely good for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing rises in blood sugar levels. |
