Diet typesThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weight loss system is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and a score representing the ease with which the carbs in the food type gets changed to sugar in your body. The theory is that slow acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite and help to reduce your intake of food without craving snacks all the time. It's also extremeley effective for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI food types are helpful in preventing increases in glucose amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans discover that they actually lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you manage to gain control of the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a balanced state that is far more healthful than it normally is, known as the 'zone'. Sears alleges that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat. The main method of the zone diet is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
