Diet New Orleans Shrimp Creole Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed the south beach diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other weight loss studies. Approved foods include, canadian bacon, chicken breast, clams, ricotta cheese, pistachios, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, such as lentils, broccoli and turnips. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing foods and a score representing the rapidity that the carbohydrates of the food gets converted to sugar in the dieters system. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those foods with a low Gi number), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are missing out. It is also very efficient for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing increases in blood sugar amount. |
