Diet Sweet-And-Sour Shrimp Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight reduction diet, however many zone diet followers find that they manage to lose weight by following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more wholesome than other diets, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The key process of the system is to maintain the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should be eating "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed the south beach diet for people who have heart disease, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific research on other weight loss systems. Good foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, fish, feta cheese, peanuts, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, like black beans, cauliflower and turnips. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example meat and some dairy produce. With the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is 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, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to burn into carbs, it is the carbs which are burned initially. If we reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, we will utilise the fat we have stored and we will reduce weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all doctors are in agreement and a few hold that it is often dangerous. |
