The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg pork and butter. With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate, high protein, weight loss program. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The low calorie diet In short, a low calorie weight loss regime is based on the fact that if you are going to lose weight, then you have to injest less calories than you actually use. The calorie defined? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A '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 a meal contains more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when your body digests it. Foods low in calories include bok choy, bell pepper, apricots, lower fat hot-dogs, and low-fat cheese. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, leeks and spring onions) The onion, leek and garlic family of vegetables is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is not much scientific evidence available, allyl sulfides are also thought to help with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so make sure you add them to your diet system. |
