Weight loss systemsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should be eating "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed this diet for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific data on other weight loss regimes. "good" foods include, lean cuts of beef, skinless poultry, fish and shellfish, feta cheese, pecan halves, eggs and some vegatables, such as split peas, lettuce and turnips. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet first suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not expressly a weight reduction diet, however many people discover that they actually seem to lose body weight when following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is more healthful than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The most important method of the zone diet is to maintain the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it enables weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as bacon and butter. Unlike other diets, on 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 carb/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. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still 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 although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to transform into carbohydrates, it is the carbs which are burned initially. If we reduce your consumption of carbs, our bodies will use up the fat we have stored and we will become thinner. This is the bit that is divisive, not all researchers concur and some allege that it can be risky. |
