Weight loss systemsThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet primarily devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, although some people find that they manage to lose body weight by following the zone diet. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is far more healthy than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, 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, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important method of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan created by Dr. arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed this diet for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies on other dietary studies. Good foods include, canadian bacon, turkey bacon, shrimp, mozzarella cheese, peanut butter, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as split peas, cauliflower and turnips. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition system is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list showing foods and a score illustrating the rapidity that the carbohydrates of the food type gets changed to glucose in your bloodstream. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are missing out. It's also especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing rises in blood glucose secretion. |
