Diet types The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan invented by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should be eating "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other weight loss studies. "good" foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, fish, fat-free cheeses, pistachio nuts, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, like butter beans, celery and turnips. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is linked to the glycaemic index, a chart showing food types and a score representing the ease that the carbs of the food type gets changed to glucose in your body. The theory is that slow acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help to cut down on food without craving snacks all the time. It is also very good for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in managing surges in glucose amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a fat reduction diet, however many people find that they really lose body weight when following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the secretion 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 balanced state that is much more healthful than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up fat. The main method of the system is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
