Diet informationThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, but many 'zone dieters' find that they really lose weight by following the zone diet. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts one's body in a balanced state that is more healthful than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The key method of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the 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 still eating many of the foods you love, such as beef and some dairy produce. With this diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. 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 cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the atkins diet is that even if our bodies use both fats and carbs to convert into carbs, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we reduce your intake of carbs, we will utilise our stored fat and we will become thinner. Although tempting, the atkins diet is contentious, not all researchers agree and some believe it is often dangerous. |
