Diet informationThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first invented by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, but many people believe that they really seem to lose weight by following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a balanced state which is far more wholesome than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat. The main procedure of the diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition and weight loss system is reliant on the glycaemic index, a chart showing types of food and an indicator of the rapidity with which the carbs of the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The believe is that slow release food types (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to reduce your intake of food without feeling you are missing out. It is also extremely efficient for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in minimizing increases in glucose levels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan invented by Dr. arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented the south beach diet for people who have cardiac problems, based on his analysis of scientific research on other nutritional studies. Good foods include, veal cutlets, turkey breast, shellfish, cottage cheese, pecan halves, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like butter beans, collard greens and mushrooms. |
