The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially detailed by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, however many zone diet followers find that they actually reduce weight when following it. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts one's body in a state of balance that is far more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat. The key process of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index weight loss program is reliant on the gi index, a list showing food types and a score illustrating the ease that the carbohydrates in the food gets converted to sugar in your body. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to consume fewer food without feeling you are missing out. It's also extremely good for folk with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in controlling surges in blood glucose levels. Flavonoid rich foods (inlcudes citrus fruits, spinach, soy & thyme) The nutrients called 'flavonoids' which exist in these natural foods are believed to have properties in fighting cancer. Nutritionalists researching the nutritional effects of flavonoids suspect that they may well also have most other healthy benefits, including anti-dermatitis and anti-inflammatory properties. Most are also low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss regime. |
