The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and a score representing the ease with which the carbs in the food type gets transformed to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The believe is that slow release types of food (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can injest less food without craving snacks all the time. It's also very efficient for diabetics, as the low GI types of food are useful in controlling rises in glucose amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight reduction diet, although many zone diet followers discover that they actually seem to lose a few pounds by following it. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts the body in a state of balance that is much, much more healthful than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The most important technique of the zone diet is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. Foods containing lycopene (includes guava, red peppers & tomatoes) The nutrient lypcopene is a naturally occurring compound and one of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is the reason for the red hue of quite a few fruit and vegetables. Usefully, unlike many nutrients, it does not degrade if cooked, but is really strengthened by going through the cooking process. . Lycoprene's most valuable value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and appears to help lower the chances of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most potent remover of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many experts to curtail the development of atherosclerosis. |
