Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although highly controversial, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, such as bacon and egg and cheese. On the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, nutrition and weightloss 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 are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to transform into glucose, it is the carbohydrates which are burned initially. If we cut down on carbs, we will utilise the fat we have stored and we will lose weight. This is the bit that is controversial, not all doctors agree and some even believe it can be dangerous. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the glycaemic index, a chart showing food types and an indicator of the speed that the carbohydrates in the food type gets converted to sugar in your bloodstream. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie with a low Gi number), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to eat less food without feeling hungry. It's also extremely useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in minimizing rises in blood sugar amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet followers find that they seem to lose weight by following it. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a balanced state which is much, much more wholesome than normal, known as the 'zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main procedure of the system is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. |
