Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows weight reduction but still allows you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, like pork and hard cheese. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/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 continues to be 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 index nutrition and weight loss system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and an indicator of the speed that the carbs of the food gets transformed to glucose in your system. The believe is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satiated for longer and help to eat less food without feeling hungry. It's also extremely effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in reducing rises in glucose levels. |
