The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based on the gi index, a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the glucose in the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters blood stream. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can take in less food without feeling hungry. It is also very efficient for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in preventing increases in glucose secretion. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his nutritional system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific data completed on other diets. Examples of good foods include, canadian bacon, chicken breast, seafood, ricotta cheese, peanuts, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like green beans, celery and water chestnuts. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes carrots, mangos and sweet potatoes) These fruit and veg are rich in alpha and beta carotenes thought by experts to help in helping prevent cancer, specifically of the the stomach and lesophagus. Many also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your diet. |
