Diet informationThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his analysis of scientific research on other nutritional studies. Examples of good foods include, veal cutlets, chicken breast, clams, fat free cheese, almonds, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like asparagus, cauliflower and sprouts. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is reliant on the gi index, a chart showing foods and a score illustrating the rapidity that the carbs in the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that slow release foods (ie with a low Gi number), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without being miserabl;e. It is also extremely effective for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in controlling rises in blood sugar secretion. |
