The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss regime is based on the gi index, a list showing food types and an indicator of the speed that the glucose and energy in the food type gets converted to glucose in the dieters system. The believe is that slow release food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to eat less food without craving snacks all the time. It's also beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI food types are helpful in reducing surges in glucose secretion. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, but many people find that they manage to lose body weight by following this system. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is much, much more wholesome than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The main technique 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. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, white onions and green onion) The onion family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is very little definitive proof obtainable, allyl sulfides are also believed to reduce problems with colds, sterilization and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program. |
