Types of dietThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet invented by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented this diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other weight loss studies. Approved foods include, lean cuts of beef, chicken breast, clams, feta cheese, almonds, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, such as artichokes, cauliflower and spinach. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, 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 claims to allow weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg fatty meat and butter. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is 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. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the popular atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to convert into glucose and energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned initially. If we reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, we will burn up the fat we already carry and we will achieve weight loss. Although inviting, this theory is controversial, not all specialists concur and some experts hold that it might be risky. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first invented by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not exactly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many followers believe that they actually lose weight by following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts one's body in a state of balance that is a lot more wholesome than it normally is, which is known as the zone. Sears alleges that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat. The main process of the zone system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
