Low calorie diet
In simple terms, low calorie diet is based on the fact that in order to lose weight, it is essential to consume fewer calories than you actually use. What is a calorie? A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food has more calories, then it will gives you more energy when it is eaten. Low-cal foods include boiled potatoes, green pepper, watermelon, beef, and bamboo shoots. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan created by Dr. arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his weight loss system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific data on other dietary studies. "good" foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, oysters, ricotta cheese, pecan halves, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as chickpeas, cabbage and sprouts. Flavonoid rich foods (inlcudes onion, fennel, soya & chamomile) The nutrients known as flavonoids which are present in these food types are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in preventing cancer. Medical experts looking into the properties of flavonoids believe that they also have numerous benefits to our health, including, but not limited to, anti-candida and anti-inflammatory properties. Most also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program. |
