The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially detailed by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight reduction diet, however many followers find that they actually manage to lose weight by following the zone diet. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is much more healthy than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not build up layers of fat. The most interesting process of the zone diet is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight loss whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, such as beef and hard cheese. On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/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. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, onions and spring onions) The onion and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is too little scientific evidence obtainable, allyl sulfides are also thought to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. |
