Glycemic Impact Diet
License: Freeware

The Glycemic Impact Diet is one of more popular diets to appear worldwide. The diet is based on the Glycemic Index - which has been around for some time. However, only recently have GI based diets become popular with the public. The Glycemic Impact Diet delves even further into the glycemic index by taking into account Glycemic Load. This is a combination of the glycemic index of a food and the amount of carbohydrate the food has. A food such as a carrot is a common example: Carrots have a high GI, but a very low amount of carb per volume. The glycemic load of the carrot, in the end, is quite low - and is a great food to eat.

Zone Diet
License: Freeware

Barry Sears' Zone Diet is designed to maintain your insulin levels within steady limits - "in the zone" - by eating a careful balance of carbohydrate, protein and fat, at each meal and snack. The Zone Diet is not a high protein diet, rather an adequate protein diet, in which (unlike the Atkins Diet) saturated fats are kept to a minimum. The Zone Diet recommends moderate quantities of low-fat protein (about 85g for women and about 115g per day for men). It is not a ketogenic diet as it contains enough carbohydrate to avoid the state of ketosis induced by other low-carb diets. In addition, it strongly recommends fruit and vegetables, which makes it a healthy diet to follow in the longer term.

High Fiber Diet
License: Freeware

Fiber falls into two general categories: water-soluble (found mostly in oats, fruit, and legumes) and water-insoluble (found mostly in grains and vegetables). As each type of fiber has different benefits, most people on high-fiber diets are advised to increase their intake of foods that feature both soluble and insoluble fiber. High-fiber diets are also beneficial for certain gastrointestinal conditions. Fiber slows the movement of food and acidic fluid from the stomach to the intestines. It may help people with duodenal ulcers by reducing the exposure of the small intestine to stomach acids. Diverticular disease has become increasingly common and is thought to be due primarily to the consumption of a low-fiber diet.

Negative Calorie Diet
License: Freeware

The negative calorie phrase refers to a small list of foods which contain such little energy that the body uses more energy to digest and absorb the energy and nutrients.This means just from eating these foods there is potential for a net loss of calories from the body or a negative calorie balance. This is required in order to lose weight. There is much controversy about the negative calorie diet. The amount of energy used may be relative to the amount and complexity of the meal ingested. In other words, the energy cost to digest and absorb may be set as a general percentage of the energy contained in each specific food, thus there cannot ever be foods with negative calories.

South Beach Diet
License: Freeware

Like most other low-carb diets, the South Beach Diet is divided into three phases: Phase One (14 days), an initial phase during which carbs are particularly restricted; Phase Two during which you may slowly add back carbs that are higher on the glycemic index; Phase Three, beginning when you have reached your ideal weight, which is a long term weight maintenance plan. In simple terms, the South Beach Diet differs from other low-carb diet programs in that it emphasises the different types of carbs to be consumed, rather than quantities. However, like many other low-carb plans, greater importance seems to be given to carbs than calories.

The glycemic index ranks carbohydrates on a scale from 0 to 100 according to the extent to which they raise blood sugar levels after eating. It doesn't tell how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. A low Glycemic Index diet is not necessarily a low carb diet.. Body Composition Basics - Fitness Attitudes. Body composition describes the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in your body.

Maintaining Weight Loss

Once you have started losing weight, it is crucial to think of how to maintain that weight loss in the days ahead. It may seem hard to believe, but taking the weight off is the easy part. Maintaining weight loss for good is where the real challenge lies. People lose lots of weight on diets everyday, but 95% of them gain it back because they have focused only on the weight loss.They follow the diet until they get to a particular number on the scale and then shortly after, they go back to the old lifestyle that made them overweight in the first place.

Chitosan And Weight Loss

With all the hype about liquid diets, diet pills, diet programs, etc, who wouldn't jump at the idea of an all natural solution. This probable solution is called chitosan and is simply a fat inhibitor, which appears to work miracles for those in search of a safe way to lose that body fat.Regardless of chitosan's miraculous overview, it is a very simple substance, which has been around for ages. It is taken from chitin, a polysaccharide found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans. It is processed by removing the shells from shellfish such as shrimp, lobster, and crabs. The shells are then ground into a pulverous powder.

Carb Counting
License: Freeware

With the rise in popularity of low carb diets - often called ketogenic diets because they induce ketosis (a metabolic process in which the body burns fat for energy instead of carbs) - carb-counting has become a standard tactic to ensure you are within the diet rules for carb consumption. By counting carbs to monitor your daily carb intake you ensure that your body is in ketosis, to maximize fat-burning. It also helps to regulate blood sugar and insulin levels. The total carbohydrate content of a food includes sugars, starches and dietary fiber. But since this carb-total includes dietary fiber, which is indigestible, it may give an inaccurate measure of the carb-value of the food in question.

Lower Cholesterol
License: Freeware

Cholesterol is a fatty substance present in the human body, 80% of which is manufactured by the liver. The other 20% comes from your diet such as meat, eggs and dairy products. There are two types of cholesterol, good cholesterol - HDL (High-density lipoproteins) and bad cholesterol - LDL (Low-density lipoproteins). High levels of LDL cholesterol present in the body enter the inner walls of the arteries and harden it, leading to coronary artery disease. Similarly, high levels of HDL cholesterol minimize the harmful effects of LDL cholesterol.Do your exercises regularly to keep your heart healthy.
