Diet Cottage Cheese Cookies Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet typesThe Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Although highly controversial, it supposedly allows fat reduction but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg lamb and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is 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. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as 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 controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to transform into glucose, it is the carbohydrates that are burned first. If we reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, we will utilise the fat we have stored and we will become thinner. Although inviting, this theory is contentious, not all specialists are in agreement and many believe it is sometimes hazardous. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system started by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his nutritional system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific research on other weight loss systems. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, turkey breast, fish and shellfish, provolone cheese, pistachio nuts, lowfat or nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as butter beans, cabbage and mushrooms. |
