Diet typesThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, like meat and hard cheeses. With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to 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. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be 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 result, olive oil. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which emphasizes that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented this diet for people who have cardiac problems, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific studies completed on other diets. Examples of good foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, prawns, ricotta cheese, pecan halves, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, such as artichokes, collard greens and water chestnuts. |
