Diet types


The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow weight loss whilst still eating many foods that are not normally available to dieters, such as lamb and hard cheese.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, 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.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil.




The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Doctor agatston developed this diet for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific research completed on other nutritional studies.
Approved foods include, lean beef, turkey bacon, clams, parmesan cheese, almonds, nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as split peas, cucumbers and spinach.


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet is reliant on the gi index, a list showing foods and a score representing the rapidity that the carbohydrates in the food gets converted to sugar in your system. The theory is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are missing out.
It's also extremely useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in managing rises in glucose amount.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
