The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet system started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that one should consume "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his dietary regime for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed analysis of scientific studies on other weight loss studies. Approved foods include, lean cuts of beef, turkey breast, oysters, cottage cheese, almonds, lowfat or nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as green beans, eggplant and sprouts. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first invented by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, but many people find that they manage to lose body weight when following it. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of equilibrium which is an awful lot more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't build up fat. The most important procedure of the system is to maintain the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 fish oils. Brassicas, Wonderfoods that also help with your Weight loss (includes Arugula, Green beans, Turnip greens and Chinese cabbage) Altthough not always popular with children, these are packed with vitamins (eg.folate and vitamin c), minerals (including potassium and selenium), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, and indole-3-carbinol. Amongst most other great health properties, these contain isothiocyanates, which are believed by experts to reduce the risk of cancer. |
