Diet informationThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system started by Dr. arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should be eating "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented the south beach diet for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific data on other diets. "good" foods include, canadian bacon, turkey bacon, shrimp, fat free cheese, pistachios, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like butter beans, cucumbers and turnips. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers claim that they actually manage to lose body weight by following the zone diet. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to control the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is more wholesome than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up fat. The most important technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows fat reduction but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like lamb and some dairy produce. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often 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, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into carbs, it is the carbs that are burned first. If we reduce your intake of carbs, we will consume the fat we have stored and we will achieve weight loss. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all researchers concur and many believe it can sometimes be hazardous. |
