Diet informationThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented his nutritional system for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific research on other weight loss regimes. Examples of good foods include, lean cuts of beef, chicken breast, fish, cottage cheese, almonds, eggs and some vegatables, like black beans, celery and mushrooms. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables weight reduction whilst still eating many of the foods you love, for example bacon and butter. On the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weight loss 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. 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 nutrition system primarily detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, but many people find that they really manage to lose weight when following it. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts your body in a state of balance which is a lot more healthful than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important procedure of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
