The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his weight loss regime as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other dietary studies. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, turkey bacon, shrimp, parmesan cheese, pistachios, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, such as split peas, celery and water chestnuts. The low-cal diet Rather obviously, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you are going to diet successfully, the most important step is to injest less calories than you burn up. What is a calorie? A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a meal has higher calories, then it will provide your body with more energy when it is eaten. Low calorie foods include green beans, green peppers, melon, beef, and skimmed milk. Flavonoid foods (inlcudes lettuce, kohlrabi, soy & tea) The compounds known as flavonoids present in these fruit and vegetables are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in helping to prevent cancer. Nutritionalists researching the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they also have many health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-candida and antitumor activities.. The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program. |
