Diet typesThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many followers believe that they manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more healthful than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears alleges that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The most important technique of the zone diet is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it enables fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, eg pork and butter. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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. 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, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into carbs, it is the carbs which are burned first. If we cut down on carbs, we will burn up our stored fat and we will lose weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all experts concur and many think it might be risky. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Dr. arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented the south beach diet for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific studies on other diets. Examples of good foods include, canadian bacon, skinless poultry, clams, fat-free cheeses, almonds, eggs and certain vegetables, like artichokes, eggplant and water chestnuts. |
