Weight loss diets


The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, for example lamb and butter.
With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a high protein, low carb, nutrition and weight loss 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 this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic behind the popular atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we reduce your consumption of carbs, our bodies will use up the fat we have stored and we will reduce weight. Although inviting, this theory is contentious, not all experts accept this as true and some hold that it might be dangerous.




The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index nutrition and weightloss system is reliant on the gi index, a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the ease that the carbohydrates in the food type gets transformed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The believe is that slow release types of food (ie with a low Gi number), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can reduce your intake of food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also extremely efficient for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in preventing surges in glucose secretion.


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 is not specifically a weight loss diet, although many people find that they actually reduce weight by following it.
The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of equilibrium that is a lot more healthful than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a consequence, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most important method of the zone diet is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.


The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet plan invented by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Agatston invented his weight loss regime as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his analysis of scientific data completed on other dietary studies.
Examples of good foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, oysters, mozzarella cheese, almonds, eggs and certain vegetables, such as kidney beans, cauliflower and turnips.

"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
