A low calorie weight loss regime
In short, the low-cal diet says that if you plan to get rid of some fat, then you have to take in fewer calories than you use. What is a calorie? The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If a meal has more calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when your body converts it. Low calorie food types include celery, cucumbers, grapefruit, low fat hot-dogs, and bamboo shoots. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet is still widely used today. Although highly controversial, it supposedly allows weight reduction whilst allowing many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg fatty meat and eggs. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a high protein, low carb, weight loss program. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the popular atkins diet is that if we eat less carbs, our bodies will utilize our stored fat and we will become thinner Lycopene superfoods (includes apricots, red bell peppers & sweet gourd) Lycopene is a natural pigment and a member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the agent responsible for the red colour of some types of food. Fortunately, unlike most other healthy agents, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, but is genuinely enhanced by cooking. . Its most important value is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the chances of developing cancer. It is the most powerful fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to prevent the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. |
