The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight reduction diet, however many people discover that they manage to lose weight by following the zone diet. The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts one's body in a state of balance that is much more healthy than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears holds the theory that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main technique of the zone system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss program is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and a score illustrating the speed that the energy in the food gets transformed to glucose in your bloodstream. The believe is that slow release food types (ie those food types with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to eat fewer food without being miserabl;e. It is also especially beneficial for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in reducing rises in glucose levels. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes carrots, collard greens and winter squash) These amazing fruits and vegetables contain carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by nutritionalists be a key nutrient in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly of the stomach and lesophagus. Most also help you lose weight, so should be included in your weight loss regime. |
