The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, like fatty meat and hard cheese. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into glucose, it is the carbohydrates which are burned primarily. If we take in less carbohydrates, we will deplete the fat we already carry and we will diet successfully. This is the bit that is contentious, not all nutritionalists concur and quite a few feel it might be bad for your health. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index weight loss regime is reliant on the gi index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in your system. The claim is that long-acting food types (ie those food types with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help to take in less food without feeling hungry. It's also extremely useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in reducing surges in blood glucose levels. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes carrots, kale and tomato ketchup) These colorful fruit and veg are rich in carotenes believed by many be a key nutrient in helping stop cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lungs. A good number are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. |
