Types of diet


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight reduction diet, nevertheless many 'zone dieters' find that they actually manage to lose body weight by following it.
The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts one's body in a state of balance that is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, does not build up layers of fat.
The main technique of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index nutrition and weight loss system is based on the gi index, a list of foods and a score representing the speed with which the carbs in the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The believe is that slow release foods (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help to eat less food without starving yourself.
It is also extremeley useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in managing rises in blood glucose levels.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
