Weight loss systems


The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like bacon and some dairy produce.
With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate, high protein, 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.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil.




The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index nutrition and weightloss system is reliant on the gi index, a list of food types and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the glucose and energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in your bloodstream. The claim is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi number), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to reduce your intake of food without craving snacks all the time.
It's also extremeley effective for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in preventing increases in glucose amount.


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system initially devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight reduction diet, although some people claim that they seem to lose weight by following this system.
The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts the body in a state of equilibrium which is much more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, does not build up fat.
The key method of the zone diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
