The low calorie diet
Rather obviously, a low calorie weight loss regime says that if you want to become thinner, the important thing to consume less calories than your body normally needs. So what is a calorie? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a food has more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when your body converts it. Low calorie food types include fresh green beans, red peppers, apricots, low fat hot-dogs, and white eggs. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his weight loss system for people who have heart disease, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific studies on other weight loss systems. Examples of good foods include, lean cuts of beef, turkey breast, clams, ricotta cheese, peanut butter, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like butter beans, collard greens and sprouts. Lycopene rich foods (includes apricots, papaya and tomato) The chemical lypcopene is a simple compound and part of the carotenid family. Lycopene is the reason for the vivid red color of a good number of fruits and vegetables. Usefully, unlike most other vitamins, lycopene does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is essentially increased in efficacy by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's key nutritional contribution is that it acts as an antioxidant and is thought to help lower the risks of cancer. It is the most powerful quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It's also believed to prevent the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
