Diet typesThe Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is based around the gi index, a chart showing foods and an indicator of the ease that the carbohydrates in the food type gets transformed to glucose in your system. The theory is that slow acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to eat less food without feeling you are missing out. It is also extremeley useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in minimizing increases in blood sugar amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system first created by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, although many zone diet fans believe that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more wholesome than it normally is, which is known as the zone. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most important method of the zone diet is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Popular with many famous celebrities, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like beef and hard cheeses. With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition 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. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. |
