Weight loss dietsThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weightloss system is based on the glycaemic index, a chart showing foods and a score illustrating the rapidity that the glucose and energy of the food gets converted to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that slow release foods (ie with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite and help to reduce your intake of food without feeling hungry. It is also extremeley effective for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in managing increases in glucose levels. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, for example fatty meat and butter. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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 continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a result, 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 created by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed this diet for people who have cardiac problems, based on his detailed analysis of scientific studies on other dietary studies.
