Weight loss diets The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed this diet for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed study of scientific research completed on other weight loss studies. Approved foods include, lean cuts of beef, turkey breast, shrimp, cottage cheese, peanuts, eggs and some vegatables, such as green beans, broccoli and snow peas. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, however many followers claim that they really manage to lose weight by following this system. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a state of balance that is much more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The most important method of the system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
