Diet informationThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however many people believe that they actually lose body weight by following the zone diet. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is more wholesome than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, as a consequence, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important technique of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like beef and hard cheeses. With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition 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, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed the south beach diet for people who have heart disease, based on his analysis of scientific studies on other weight loss systems. Examples of good foods include, broiled ham, chicken breast, clams, cottage cheese, peanut butter, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like green beans, cauliflower and spinach. |
