The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, like pork and some dairy produce. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss regime. 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 are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing foods and a score representing the rapidity that the carbs in the food gets transformed to glucose in your body. The theory is that slow acting types of food (ie those with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and mean that you can eat fewer food without craving snacks all the time. It's also very good for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing increases in blood sugar levels.

Amongst most other health benefits, the minerals, vitamins and nutrients in these are believed by scientists to help reduce the cancer risk. |
