The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although highly controversial, it enables weight reduction whilst allowing many of the foods you love, eg bacon and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to 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. 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 olive oil. The low-cal diet In a nutshell, the low-cal diet says that if you want to get rid of some fat, it is essential to injest less calories than you actually use. What is a calorie? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If your meal has more calories, then it will provide your body with a larger amount of energy when it is converted. Low calorie food types include fresh green beans, bell pepper, grapefruit, canadian bacon, and white eggs. Foods containing carotenes (includes cilantro, kale and winter squash) These natural foods have high levels of the carotenoids thought by many to play a role in preventing cancer, specifically those cancers involving the stomach. The majority of these are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss regime. |
