Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg pork and egg and cheese. With this diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must 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. With 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 Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight loss diet, however many people find that they actually manage to lose weight by following this system. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The key technique of the system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the glycaemic index, a chart showing types of food and a score representing the rapidity with which the carbs in the food gets converted to glucose in the dieters system. The claim is that slow release types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and help to cut down on food without starving yourself. It's also extremely effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in controlling increases in glucose amount. |
