Diet types


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing foods and a score representing the ease that the carbs of the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters body. The believe is that slow release food types (ie those food types with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and help you to reduce your consumption of food without being miserabl;e.
It's also very useful for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are useful in minimizing surges in blood glucose amount.


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight reduction diet, but many zone diet fans claim that they manage to lose weight by following this system.
The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you can gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is more healthy than other diets, which is known as the zone.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, as a consequence, does not build up layers of fat.
The key procedure of the diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
