Diet typesThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and a score representing the ease with which the carbohydrates in the food gets transformed to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The believe is that slow release food types (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without craving snacks all the time. It is also very useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI food types are useful in reducing increases in blood sugar levels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that one should consume "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his nutritional system for people who have heart disease, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific research on other diets. Approved foods include, canadian bacon, turkey bacon, seafood, fat free cheese, pecan halves, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like green beans, cauliflower and spinach. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight loss diet, although many followers claim that they seem to lose a few pounds by following this system. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance that is far more healthy than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat. The main procedure of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
