Diet typesThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Although highly controversial, it enables fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg beef and hard cheese. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to 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 continues to be 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 theory of the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to change into energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned initially. If we reduce your consumption of carbs, our bodies will consume the fat we have stored and we will lose weight. This theory is contentious, not all nutritionalists are in agreement and some allege that it can sometimes be unsafe. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially detailed by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans claim that they actually lose body weight by following this system. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of balance that is an awful lot more healthy than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The main process of the system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition and weight loss system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and a score representing the speed that the glucose in the food type gets transformed to glucose in your system. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to reduce your consumption of food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremely effective for diabetics, as the low GI foods are helpful in preventing surges in blood sugar levels. |
