Diet Chicken Normandy Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, like bacon and some dairy produce. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/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. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weight loss system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and an indicator of the speed that the energy in the food gets transformed to sugar in the dieters body. The believe is that slow acting foods (ie those foods with a low Gi number), will keep you feeling full for longer and help you to cut down on food without starving yourself. It is also extremely effective for diabetics, as the low GI food types are useful in controlling rises in blood glucose secretion. |
