Diet Reduced Calorie Fruit Pizza Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet informationThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weightloss system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of foods and an indicator of the rapidity that the energy in the food gets changed to glucose in your body. The theory is that slow release types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help to reduce your intake of food without feeling you are always hungry. It is also extremely useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in reducing surges in blood glucose levels. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his weight loss regime for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed study of scientific research completed on other weight loss regimes. Good foods include, lean beef, turkey breast, fish, mozzarella cheese, pecan halves, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, like split peas, broccoli and mushrooms. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, but many followers claim that they seem to lose a few pounds by following this system. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of balance which is an awful lot more healthy than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main process of the diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
