Diet typesThe Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition and weight loss system is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and an indicator of the ease with which the glucose of the food type gets transformed to glucose in your blood stream. The claim is that slow release types of food (ie those with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite and mean that you can reduce your intake of food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremeley effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in managing surges in blood sugar amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers believe that they really manage to lose weight by following it. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts the body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more healthful than it normally is, known as the 'zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The main technique of the zone system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, for example beef and cheeses. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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. Unlike other diets, on 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, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The 'science' behind the atkins diet is that if we reduce your intake of carbs, we will burn up our fat and we will lose weight |
