Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it enables weight loss whilst allowing many of the foods you love, such as lamb and butter. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known 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. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to convert into carbs, it is the carbohydrates that are burned first. If we cut down on carbohydrates, we will utilize the fat we already carry and we will become thinner. This is the bit that is controversial, not all specialists are in agreement and a few allege that it can sometimes be risky. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, but many zone diet fans find that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts the body in a state of balance which is much more wholesome than usual, which is known as the zone. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The key technique of the diet is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. |
