Diet Grilled Tuna Burgers With Ginger Sauce Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition system is based on the gi index, a list showing foods and a score illustrating the rapidity that the carbs in the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help you to reduce your intake of food without being miserabl;e. It is also extremeley useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are useful in managing increases in blood glucose levels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his nutritional system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific research completed on other nutritional studies. Examples of good foods include, lean cuts of beef, turkey bacon, fish, parmesan cheese, peanuts, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like black beans, cabbage and sprouts. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, but many 'zone dieters' believe that they really lose body weight by following it. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of balance that is far more healthy than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not need to convert surplus energy to fat. The key process of the zone system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows fat reduction but still allows you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example bacon and butter. On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a high protein, low carb, nutrition 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. 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, as a consequence, olive oil. |
