The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight loss diet, but many 'zone dieters' find that they actually seem to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is an awful lot more healthy than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most important method of the diet is to control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet system is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and a score representing the speed that the glucose in the food type gets transformed to sugar in your blood stream. The believe is that slow release types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can eat fewer food without starving yourself. It is also extremely efficient for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in preventing increases in blood sugar amount. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes cilantro, collard greens and tomato ketchup) These amazing foods have high levels of carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by many be a key nutrient in cancer prevention, specifically of the the lungs. Many are low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss regime. |
