Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables weight loss but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg meat and butter. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, diet. 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. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not distinctly a weight reduction diet, but many zone diet followers claim that they manage to lose weight by following the zone diet. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state that is much, much more wholesome than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important method of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
