Weight loss systemsThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the gi index, a chart showing foods and an indicator of the speed with which the carbs in the food type gets converted to glucose in your body. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satiated for longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are missing out. It's also extremely good for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing surges in blood sugar levels. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow weight reduction whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg fatty meat and hard cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, nutrition and weight loss 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 this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. |
