Diet Diabetic Pumpkin Cookies Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan invented by Dr. arthur agatston which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented his system for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific research on other weight loss regimes. Approved foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, fish and shellfish, provolone cheese, peanut butter, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like black beans, celery and turnips. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people discover that they seem to lose weight by following the zone diet. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts your body in a state of balance which is much, much more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, as a result, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The main method of the zone system is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although highly controversial, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like meat and hard cheeses. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carb/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. With this 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, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the famous atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we cut down on carbs, we will deplete our fat and we will lose weight. This theory is contentious, not all nutritionalists accept this as true and some even believe it can sometimes be bad for your health. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and a score illustrating the speed with which the carbs of the food type gets converted to glucose in your body. The theory is that slow release foods (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can reduce your intake of food without starving yourself. It is also very good for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are beneficial in managing rises in blood sugar amount. |
