Diet Cream Cheese And Lemon Macaroons Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as fatty meat and hard cheese. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. 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. On 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 olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the popular atkins diet is that if we eat less carbs, we will consume the fat we have stored and we will become thinner The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet primarily invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' discover that they really manage to lose weight when following it. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts the body in a state of balance which is much, much more wholesome than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, because of this, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat. The key process of the diet is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 3 fish oils. |
