Diet Stir-Fried Thai Chicken With Basil Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Weight loss systemsThe Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weightloss system is based on the glycaemic index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the speed with which the energy of the food gets changed to sugar in the dieters system. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you feeling full longer and help to eat less food without craving snacks all the time. It is also extremely useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in preventing surges in glucose levels. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet primarily created by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, however many people discover that they actually lose body weight when following it. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts one's body in a state of equilibrium which is an awful lot more wholesome than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, because of this, doesn't build up fat. The most important method of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with plenty of Omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although highly controversial, it enables fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like lamb and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often 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. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. |
