Diet types


The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Dr. agatston invented his nutritional system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his detailed analysis of scientific studies on other weight loss regimes.
"good" foods include, veal cutlets, chicken breast, clams, cottage cheese, peanuts, nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as butter beans, lettuce and mushrooms.


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system first created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' find that they actually reduce weight by following the zone diet.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts the body in a balanced state that is much, much more healthy than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't build up fat.
The most important process of the diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.


The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet is still widely used today. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow weight loss whilst allowing many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg meat and butter.
With the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often referred to as a low carb/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 continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
