A low calorie weight loss regime
In a nutshell, low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you plan to diet successfully, the most important step is to eat fewer calories than you need for exercise. So what is a calorie? The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. The food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If a meal contains more calories, then it will gives you a larger amount of energy when your body converts it. Low-cal foods include lettuce, tomato, grapefruit, canadian bacon, and skimmed milk. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system first suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet fans find that they seem to lose a few pounds when following it. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a state of balance that is an awful lot more healthy than normal, known as the 'zone'. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most important process of the zone system is to maintain the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. Foods containing carotenes (includes parsley, kale and sweet potatoes) These colorful healthy plants contain carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by experts to play a role in preventing cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lungs. Many also have a low calorie count, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime. |
