Diet Diabetic Mocha Cookies Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Weight loss dietsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed this diet for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed study of scientific research completed on other weight loss studies. Good foods include, broiled ham, turkey breast, oysters, ricotta cheese, pecan halves, lowfat or nonfat milk and some vegatables, like artichokes, cauliflower and sprouts. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the glycaemic index, a list of foods and an indicator of the speed with which the carbs in the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters body. The theory is that slow acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite and help you to cut down on food without craving snacks all the time. It's also very good for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are helpful in managing increases in blood sugar secretion. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as meat and butter. With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, diet. 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 like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. |
