Diet typesThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weight loss system is based on the glycaemic index, a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the glucose and energy of the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to reduce your consumption of food without feeling hungry. It's also very good for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in controlling surges in glucose levels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented his weight loss regime for people who have cardiac problems, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies on other weight loss regimes. Approved foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, seafood, cottage cheese, almonds, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like butter beans, broccoli and snow peas. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it enables weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, for example bacon and hard cheese. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate, high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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, on 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 olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that if we reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, we will use our fat and we will lose weight |
