The Glycemic Impact Diet
The "Glycemic Impact Diet" is a low carbohydrate diet based on the glycemic index of foods. The Glycemic Index (GI) measures and categorizes carbohydrates based on their glycemic or sugar levels. Simple carbohydrates such as white sugar and flour are at the high end of the index and complex carbohydrates such as vegetables and whole grains are at the lower end. The basics of the diet are similar to the MetaBooster Fat Burning Diet, South Beach Diet and The Zone.
The basic principle is that simple carbohydrates make you excrete lots of insulin in order to deal with the rush of blood glucose. Insulin is known as the fat hormone and any excess will deposit in the body as fat. That is why eating a diet of simple carbohydrates results in you retaining fat.
The Glycemic Impact Diet and its recommendations to replace simple carbohydrates with complex ones is a great idea, and can help prevent the onset of illnesses like diabetes. However, it is probably best to slowly introduce complex carbs to replace simple carbs. This will help your own mental ability to sustain a lifestyle change.
The bottom line is that decreased caloric intake and increased daily exercise is the most sensible and sustainable weight loss strategy, and a change from simple carbohydrates to complex carbohydrates is healthy and can be done.
The Protein Power Weight Loss Plan
Protein Power was written by Dr. Michael and Dr. Mary Eades. They believe that the hormone Insulin, released by carbohydrates, causes health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, hypertension, fluid retention, and excessive weight. By keeping your carbohydrate intake low and protein intake high, your body will burn fat faster.
The Protein Power weight loss plan focuses on changing your body's insulin output, because insulin is what carries fat cells throughout your body and deposits them for future use. Therefore when you lower your insulin levels you naturally lower the amount of fat that is deposited in your body. .
Even though some nutritionists disagree with the high protein, low carbohydrate combination Protein Power is a very healthy way to lose weight. The plan is based on facts and goes into great detail on how the body's systems work and why eating this way can eliminate some major health concerns and help you to lose weight. It is similar to the MetaBooster Fat Burning Diet and to some extent the Atkins diet but it doesn't restrict the carbohydrate content to the same degree as Atkins.
It goes into great detail about how to plan your meals, protein essentials, carbohydrate quotas, which vitamins to take and what exercise to do.
All in all Protein Power is a good diet that promotes healthy eating not only for weight loss but also to prevent the onset of some of the deadliest illnesses affecting the western world. If you choose to follow Protein Power it is probably best to introduce the changes moderately. If you throw yourself straight into changing from one eating style to another you are most likely to fail because you will find it hard to maintain the change.
