Weight loss dietsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system started by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his dietary regime for people who have heart disease, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific research completed on other weight loss systems. Approved foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, shellfish, ricotta cheese, pistachios, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as black beans, cauliflower and snow peas. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people claim that they really lose body weight by following it. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a balanced state that is far more healthy than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The key technique of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is based on the glycaemic index, a list of foods and a score illustrating the ease with which the glucose and energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters system. The claim is that slow acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to eat less food without starving yourself. It's also extremeley effective for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in minimizing increases in blood sugar secretion. |
