The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his weight loss regime for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific studies on other dietary studies. Good foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, seafood, provolone cheese, pistachios, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as artichokes, celery and spinach. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like pork and hard cheese. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is 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, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. Lycopene super foods (includes apricots, red bell peppers & rosehip) The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is responsible for the vivid red colour of a good number of natural foods. Intrestingly, unlike numerous other nutritional compounds, this useful phytochemical is not damaged during the cooking process, but is in fact enhanced by going through the cooking process. . Lycoprene's most interesting theraputic value is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to be an asset in the fight to reduce the probabilty of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the most efficacious fighter of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought to impede the development of atherosclerosis. |
