The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet system is linked to the glycaemic index, a list showing foods and an indicator of the rapidity that the glucose in the food type gets converted to sugar in your system. The theory is that slow acting foods (ie with a low Gi number), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can consume fewer food without starving yourself. It is also extremeley useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in controlling increases in blood sugar amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, however many people claim that they really lose body weight when following it. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can control the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a balanced state which is a lot more healthful than it normally is, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The most interesting method of the diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. Superfoods containing lycopene (includes water melon, red peppers & sweet gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a non-synthetic coloring compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is responsible for the dark red hue of quite a few fruit and vegetables. Fortunately, unlike numerous vitamins, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is noticeably enhanced by cooking. . Its most valuable advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the battle to lower the risk of cancer. It is the most powerful remover of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many experts to block the progression of atherosclerosis. |
