Diet Seared Tuna With Soy Wasabi Glaze Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight loss whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg fatty meat and some dairy produce. With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, nutrition system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific data on other weight loss systems. "good" foods include, lean beef, turkey breast, shellfish, mozzarella cheese, pistachios, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like artichokes, eggplant and mushrooms. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system primarily created by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, although many followers believe that they really manage to lose a few pounds when following it. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you control the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of equilibrium which is much more healthy than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, does not build up layers of fat. The main method of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the glycaemic index, a list of types of food and a score representing the speed that the glucose and energy of the food type gets converted to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that slow release types of food (ie those foods with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite and help to eat less food without being miserabl;e. It's also extremely good for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in reducing surges in blood sugar secretion. |
