Diet Grilled Chicken And Vegetables With Fresh Basil Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight loss diet, but some people find that they manage to lose a few pounds by following this system. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a state of balance that is much, much more healthy than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a result, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most important process of the zone system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet invented by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his nutritional system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other weight loss systems. "good" foods include, canadian bacon, skinless poultry, shellfish, mozzarella cheese, peanuts, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like split peas, cauliflower and spinach. |
