Diet informationThe Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, eg lamb and some dairy produce. With this diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, nutrition and weight loss system. 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 the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the famous atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to burn into energy, it is the carbs which are burned initially. If we cut down on carbs, we will deplete the fat we have stored and we will become thinner. This theory is divisive, not all specialists accept this as true and some even feel it can sometimes be hazardous. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet fans find that they really manage to lose weight when following it. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to control the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts one's body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more wholesome than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The key technique of the system is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list showing food types and an indicator of the speed that the glucose and energy of the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters body. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without starving yourself. It's also extremely effective for diabetics, as the low GI types of food are useful in minimizing surges in blood sugar levels. |
