The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, such as lamb and eggs. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that if we take in less carbs, our bodies will consume our fat and we will reduce weight The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed with which the energy in the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help to injest less food without craving snacks all the time. It is also extremeley effective for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in managing surges in glucose secretion. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, 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. Although there is precious little scientific proof at hand, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to reduce problems with colds, high blood pressure and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program. |
