Diet types


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 exactly a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet followers claim that they actually seem to lose a few pounds by following it.
The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to gain control of the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthy than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat.
The most important procedure of the diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get increased amounts 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 food types and a score illustrating the ease with which the energy of the food type gets changed to sugar in your body. The believe is that slow release foods (ie those with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite and help you to eat less food without feeling hungry.
It is also extremely good for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in minimizing increases in blood sugar levels.

"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"
Phillip C. McGraw
