The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, however many zone diet fans find that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is far more healthy than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, does not build up fat. The most important technique of the system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index weight loss regime is based around the gi index, a chart showing food types and a score representing the speed that the carbs of the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters system. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those food types with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to consume fewer food without feeling you are always hungry. It is also beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in managing surges in glucose amount. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes pickled shallots, white onions and spring onions) The onion, leek and garlic family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is as yet, not enough scientific evidence present, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to aid in colds, sterilization and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your diet system. |
