The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and an indicator of the speed with which the energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in your system. The believe is that long-acting foods (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to take in less food without feeling you are missing out. It's also extremely useful for diabetics, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in managing rises in glucose secretion. The low calorie diet Rather obviously, the low calorie diet depends on the fact that if you plan to lose weight, it is important to take in less calories than you need for exercise. Definition of a calorie? A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. The 'calorie' is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. If a food type contains more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body burns it. Low-cal food types include boiled potatoes, radishes, apricots, ground turkey, and bamboo shoots. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes pickled shallots, white onions and green onion) The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is not enough, real proof obtainable, allyl sulfides are also thought by many experts to help with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be included in your diet. |
