The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Dr. arthur agatston which encourages that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented his nutritional system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his analysis of scientific studies on other diets. "good" foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, clams, feta cheese, peanut butter, lowfat or nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as asparagus, cabbage and water chestnuts. Low calorie diet Put simply, low calorie diet depends on the fact that if you are going to reduce weight, the most important step is to consume less calories than your body normally needs. Definition of a calorie? The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. The food calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food has more calories, then it will will give you a larger amount of energy when it is converted. Examples of low calorie foods include celery, red peppers, guava, canadian bacon, and skimmed milk. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes cilantro, kale and tomato ketchup) These vegetables and fruits have high levels of alpha and beta carotenes believed by many be a key nutrient in helping stop cancer, particularly of the esophagus and stomach. The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so should be a part of every diet system. |
