Diet Early-Morning Muffins Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet typesThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, such as fatty meat and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, 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. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to burn into glucose and energy, it is the carbs which are burned initially. If we reduce your intake of carbs, we will utilize the fat we already carry and we will reduce weight. This is the bit that is contentious, not all specialists agree and many think it is sometimes dangerous. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight reduction diet, but many zone diet followers claim that they really reduce weight by following this system. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a state of balance that is much more healthful than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The key method of the diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. |
