Types of dietThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented this diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his analysis of scientific data completed on other weight loss studies. Approved foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, fish, ricotta cheese, pistachios, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as green beans, cucumbers and turnips. The Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Popular with many famous celebrities, it allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg beef and some dairy produce. With this diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a high protein, low carb, diet. 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. 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, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the atkins diet is that if we cut down on carbohydrates, we will burn up the fat we already carry and we will become thinner The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weightloss system is based on the glycaemic index, a list of foods and a score representing the rapidity that the glucose and energy of the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters body. The theory is that long-acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can cut down on food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also extremeley useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in preventing rises in blood sugar secretion. |
