Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet primarily invented by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight loss diet, although many people find that they manage to lose a few pounds by following this system. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts the body in a state of equilibrium which is much, much more wholesome than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The key method of the zone system is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system created by Cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his weight loss system for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific studies on other weight loss studies. "good" foods include, broiled ham, chicken breast, shellfish, cottage cheese, almonds, eggs and some vegatables, such as black beans, celery and turnips. |
