Diet Yankee Pot Roast And Vegetables Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Diet typesThe Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, eg fatty meat and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, diet. 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 are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially invented by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' believe that they lose weight when following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the levels of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of balance which is more healthful than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The key method of the system is to maintain the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his system for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific research on other dietary studies. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, shellfish, parmesan cheese, pecan halves, eggs and some vegatables, like split peas, collard greens and mushrooms. |
