First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables weight loss but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg beef and cheeses. 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, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with 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 & olive oil. The low-cal diet In simple terms, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you are going to get rid of some fat, it is important to consume fewer calories than you actually use. So what is a calorie? A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a meal contains more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body burns it. Low calorie food types include green beans, radishes, grapefruit, ground turkey, and low-fat cheese. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes paprika, collard greens and sweet potatoes) These amazing fruits and vegetables are rich in alpha-carotene and beta-carotene thought to help in helping stop cancer, specifically those cancers involving the stomach and lesophagus. A good number are low in calories, so should be a part of every weight loss program. |
