The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing food types and a score illustrating the rapidity that the carbohydrates in the food gets changed to sugar in the dieters body. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help to consume less food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremely effective for folk with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in controlling rises in glucose levels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system started by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his weight loss regime for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific data completed on other nutritional studies. Approved foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, clams, fat-free cheeses, pecan halves, nonfat milk and some vegatables, like split peas, lettuce and mushrooms. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes pickled shallots, white onions and green onion) The onion and garlic range of vegetables is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is not enough, hard medical proof present, allyl sulfides are also thought to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your diet. |
