Diet typesThe Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows weight loss whilst still eating many foods that are not normally available to dieters, such as meat and hard cheese. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to 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. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that if we eat less carbohydrates, our bodies will deplete the fat we have stored and we will lose weight The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system first detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight loss diet, although many zone diet followers believe that they really manage to lose body weight when following it. The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a balanced state that is much more healthy than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears believes 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 key method of the zone system is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should consume "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific data on other weight loss studies. Examples of good foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, shrimp, provolone cheese, almonds, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like chickpeas, cabbage and mushrooms. |
