The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet system is linked to the gi index, a list of types of food and an indicator of the speed that the carbohydrates of the food type gets converted to sugar in your body. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to injest less food without feeling hungry. It is also beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in reducing increases in blood sugar secretion. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which stresses that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his weight loss system for people who have heart disease, based on his detailed analysis of scientific data on other weight loss regimes. Approved foods include, broiled ham, chicken breast, seafood, provolone cheese, pistachios, lowfat milk and some vegatables, such as split peas, eggplant and sprouts. Super foods containing lycopene (includes guava, red peppers & tomato puree) The nutrient lypcopene is a non-synthetic compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is behind the vivid red hue of some fruits and vegetables. Unlike numerous other healthy agents, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is observably improved by cooking. . Lycoprene's most valuable value is that it acts as an antioxidant and is thought to help lower the risk of cancer. Lycopene is the most effective quencher of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It's also believed to prevent the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
