Weight loss dietsThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and an indicator of the ease that the carbohydrates of the food gets converted to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that slow release types of food (ie those with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite for longer and mean that you can cut down on food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremeley effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in controlling increases in blood glucose amount. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the famous atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows weight loss but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg fatty meat and cheeses. With this diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known 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. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the atkins diet is that if we cut down on carbs, we will deplete the fat we already carry and we will become thinner |
