Diet Diabetic Anise Raisin Bread Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the glucose in the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The believe is that slow release types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also extremeley useful for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in reducing rises in glucose secretion. The Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like lamb and cheeses. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, nutrition and weight loss 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. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, although many 'zone dieters' claim that they actually lose body weight by following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state that is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most important process of the zone diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 fish oils. |
