Diet Nutty Chicken Fingers Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet followers believe that they actually manage to lose body weight by following it. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts your body in a balanced state which is much, much more wholesome than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its best and, as a consequence, does not need to build up stores of fat. The most important method of the system is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weight loss system is linked to the gi index, a chart showing food types and a score illustrating the speed with which the carbs of the food type gets converted to sugar in your body. The believe is that long-acting food types (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to reduce your intake of food without craving snacks all the time. It is also very beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in controlling surges in blood glucose secretion. |
