Weight loss dietsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his nutritional system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other dietary studies. Approved foods include, broiled ham, skinless poultry, prawns, fat-free cheeses, pecan halves, nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as artichokes, celery and turnips. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless some people claim that they actually reduce body weight by following the zone diet. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is much, much more healthy than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important process of the system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, such as beef and some dairy produce. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate, high protein, nutrition and weight loss system. 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. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the popular atkins diet is that if we reduce your intake of carbohydrates, we will utilise our stored fat and we will reduce weight |
