Diet Grilled Mackerel With Chopped Tomatoes Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the famous atkins diet is still widely used today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it enables weight loss whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, for example pork and eggs. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, 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. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the popular atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into carbohydrates, it is the carbs that are burned first. If we cut down on carbs, we will utilize our fat and we will reduce weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is contentious, not all nutritionalists accept this as true and some experts hold that it might be bad for your health. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system first advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people claim that they actually manage to lose body weight by following this system. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a state of balance that is more healthy than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat. The main method of the diet is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and an indicator of the speed that the energy of the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters blood stream. The believe is that long-acting foods (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are always hungry. It is also extremeley effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in managing surges in blood glucose levels. |
