Diet Egg Drop Soup Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, although some people believe that they actually reduce a few pounds by following the zone diet. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a balanced state that is much more wholesome than normal, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat. The main method of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and an indicator of the ease that the glucose in the food type gets transformed to sugar in your bloodstream. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satiated for longer and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without starving yourself. It's also very useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in controlling rises in blood sugar secretion. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst still eating many of the foods you love, eg meat and butter. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/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 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, as a consequence, olive oil. |
