Types of dietThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is linked to the gi index, a list of food types and a score representing the rapidity with which the carbs in the food gets converted to glucose in the dieters blood stream. The believe is that long-acting foods (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can reduce your intake of food without feeling hungry. It is also extremeley useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in minimizing surges in blood glucose levels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first created by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a fat reduction diet, however many people discover that they seem to lose body weight by following the zone diet. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to control the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts your body in a balanced state which is a lot more healthy than usual, known as the 'zone'. Sears believes that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its best and, as a result, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The key process of the zone system is to control the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although highly controversial, it supposedly allows fat reduction but still allows you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example pork and hard cheeses. On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to 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, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are 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. |
