Weight loss systemsThe Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg beef and hard cheese. With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a high protein, low carb, 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 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 olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The 'science' behind the atkins diet is that if we reduce your intake of carbohydrates, we will deplete the fat we already carry and we will become thinner The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is linked to the gi index, a chart showing food types and an indicator of the rapidity with which the glucose and energy in the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those foods 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 useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in preventing increases in blood sugar amount. |
