Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example pork and hard cheeses. With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a high protein, low carb, 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 Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and an indicator of the ease with which the glucose in the food gets transformed to sugar in the dieters system. The claim is that slow release types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to reduce your intake of food without feeling you are always hungry. It is also extremely beneficial for folk with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in minimizing increases in blood glucose levels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially invented by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, however some people believe that they really lose a few pounds by following this system. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a balanced state which is a lot more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears states that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The main method of the diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system started by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his system for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed study of scientific research completed on other nutritional studies. Good foods include, lean beef, turkey bacon, fish, fat free cheese, peanut butter, nonfat milk and some vegatables, like green beans, lettuce and mushrooms. |
