Diet informationThe Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg bacon and some dairy produce. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known 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. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that even if our bodies use both fats and carbs to transform into glucose, it is the carbohydrates which are burned initially. If we cut down on carbs, we will consume our fat and we will reduce weight. This is the bit that is controversial, not all researchers concur and some believe it is often dangerous. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Dr. arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented the south beach diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific research on other dietary studies. "good" foods include, canadian bacon, skinless poultry, shellfish, low or fat free cheeses, peanut butter, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, such as green beans, collard greens and spinach. |
