Diet informationThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weight loss system is based around the gi index, a list showing food types and a score illustrating the ease with which the carbs in the food type gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The believe is that slow release food types (ie those food types with a low Gi score), keep you feeling full longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without being miserabl;e. It's also extremeley effective for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in preventing rises in glucose amount. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like lamb and eggs. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition 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 are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight loss diet, but many followers find that they manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you can control the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of balance which is a lot more healthy than other diets, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat. The main technique of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
