Diet Plans And Menus – The Dissociated Diet

Diet Plans And Menus – The Dissociated Diet

The Dissociated Diet is based on the theory of equilibrium between acids and bases. It works according to the laws of digestion. The main idea is to avoid eating the three major food groups at the same time, as this is said to wreak havoc on the digestive system. These three groups are glucides, proteins, and neutral foods. Here are some of the principles.

Eat a breakfast that is rich in glucides and in proteins or one rich in fruit. If you have fruit for breakfast, that’s all you’ll have. For lunch have a protein dish, such as meat, ripe cheese, soy products, fish or seafood, berries, citrus fruits, or fruit juice, and eggs. Accompany your choice with vegetables and salad. Or you could select a neutral food such as vegetables, milk, whole milk products, ripened cheese with over 45% butterfat, raw and smoked meat or fish, and vegetable or animal oils such as mayonnaise or butter.

For supper eat either a glucide-rich dish or a neutral dish. Eat snacks. The mid-morning snack may come from any of the three groups. The mid-afternoon snack may be rich in glucides or in neutral elements but should not be based on proteins. Drink a lot, about 2.5 liters or quarts. And you should practice a sport such as bicycling or walking. Start slowly but do it on a regular basis.

An advantage of the Disssociated Diet is the balance and variety of its meals. It relies on good dietary habits. But you must learn how foods are classified when preparing your meals.

Here are two sample menus: Menu 1 Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with ham and mushrooms. A glass of soy milk. Tea or coffee. Lunch: Spaghetti with leeks. Mid-afternoon snack: Carrot drink. Supper: Corn and zucchini stew.

Menu 2 Breakfast: Muesli with oats and apples.

150 grams (5 ounces) of light yogurt. A tablespoon of honey. Tea or coffee. Lunch: A green salad. Potato curry. The mid-afternoon snack consists of yogurt and watercress drink. Supper: Bell peppers stuffed with rice.

Some of the information in this article comes from a fascinating new book, La Bible des Regimes, written by Jenny de Jonquieres and published by Amerik Media. Her book describes more than 80 diets and weight reduction programs. Each diet is presented with 5 menu plans, a detailed discussion of its advantages and disadvantages, and lots more. La Bible des Regimes is presently available only in French. For additional information consult the publisher’s website.

Diet Plans And Menus – The Genotype Diet

Diet Plans And Menus – The Genotype Diet

The Genotype Diet was created by Peter J. d’Adamo. It centers on the interaction between genes and the environment. According to d’Adamo food may be used to change your genes’ behavior. He classifies people into six genotypes: hunters, gatherers, teachers, explorers, warriors, and nomads. The hunter’s diet is carnivorous and low in lectins and glutens. The gatherer’s diet is low in glucides. It is protein-rich. The teacher’s diet is rich in phytonutrients. The explorer’s diet is quite varied. The warrior’s diet is rich in glucides and phytonutrients, and the nomad’s diet is omnivorous but low in lectins and glutens. Here are some of the principles.

The first thing to do is determine your genotype. Doing so requires two fairly easy calculations that depend on the relative size of your bust and your legs, as well as that of your index finger and your ring finger.

The rules are too complicated and too long to restate here. After you have determined your genotype access the appropriate lists of recommended foods, foods to avoid, and portion size. As previously, these lists are long. Under the advice of your doctor take supplements. Practice sports, the most appropriate sports depend on your genotype.

An advantage of the Genotype Diet is that it allows all food groups. It relies on good dietary habits over the long run rather than presenting short-term restrictions. One disadvantage is the total lack of scientific evidence to support it. This disadvantage is definitely not unique to the Genotype Diet.

Here are two sample menus:

Menu 1 (Hunter)
Breakfast: Two slices of whole grain bread. Pineapple jam. Pear and mango salad.
Lunch: Endive salad.

150 grams (approximately 5 ounces) of sardines. Green beans. Pineapple slices.
Supper: 150 grams of sauteed beef and peppers. Sweet potatoes. Cranberries.

Menu 2 (Teacher)
Breakfast: Mushroom omelet. A slice of linseed bread. Pineapple slices.
Lunch: Broccoli soup. An avocado. Pinto beans. Curried quinoa. A nectarine.
Supper: Pumpkin soup. 170 grams of cod. Leek fondue. A slice of linseed bread. 100 grams of muenster cheese.

Diet Plans And Menus – The Grapefruit Diet

Diet Plans And Menus – The Grapefruit Diet

The Grapefruit Diet is a very low calorie diet destined for people who want to lose weight fast, let’s say 10 pounds (about 4.5 kilograms) in 12 days. Don’t even think of following this diet if you have health or nutritional problems or are pregnant or breast feeding. This 1000-calories-a-day diet was quite popular with Hollywood stars of the 1930s. Here are some of the diet principles.

Make sure to eat three meals and a snack daily. All of the meals star grapefruit, whether pure or in juice form but always without any sugar. You may be happy to know that the snacks do not include grapefruit in any form. Eliminate complex glucides from your diet. This means that rice, wheat, legumes, nuts, grains, potatoes, sweet potatoes, green peas and corn are all excluded. In addition to the ever-present grapefruit eat eggs, fruits, green, yellow, and red vegetables, fish, and meat.

Drink a lot of liquids including water, grapefruit juice, tomato juice, skim milk, or tea or coffee without sugar.

The Grapefruit Diet has the advantage that it’s easy to follow. And you will definitely get enough vitamin C. It doesn’t have a good effect on dieters’ health. Its disadvantages include the lack of essential nutrients. This diet may lead to fatigue or fainting because of the low calorie intake. And once your grapefruit marathon is over, you are almost sure to gain weight back. And perhaps never eat grapefruit again.

Here are two sample menus:
Menu 1
Breakfast: Half a grapefruit. Two eggs. Two slices of bacon. Coffee or tea.
Lunch: Half a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice. Halibut fillet. Lettuce, cucumber, celery, and radish salad. Coffee or tea.
The mid-afternoon snack is a glass of tomato juice.
Supper: Half a grapefruit.

Chicken breast. Green beans and red peppers.

Menu 2
Breakfast: Half a grapefruit. Two eggs. Two slices of bacon. Coffee or tea.
Lunch: Half a grapefruit. Veal schnitzel. Lettuce, endive, asparagus, and tomato salad.
The mid-afternoon snack is a glass of skim milk.
Supper: Half a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice. Sea bream. Spinach.

My dear,
Don’t let society make you feel uncomfortable about your weight.
You need to do one thing,drop the “Diet” word from your vocab.
Start thinking from a different stand point,think”Healthy”
Make small changes here and there.
Walking is your best friend,not only does it relax tension,
but the scenery is pleasant to look at as well.
Just relax,don’t be hard on yourself.Love yourself.

Diet Plans And Menus – The Okinawa Diet

Diet Plans And Menus – The Okinawa Diet

The Okinawa Diet was created by Makoto Suzuki. It is based on the nutritional habits of people who live in the Ryukyu Islands including the city of Okinawa in southern Japan. In the past these people had the longest life expectancy in the world. This is a long term or life long diet. You will eat 300 calories a day less than your caloric expenditure. Stop eating before you are full. 78% of your nourishment comes from vegetable sources. Privileged foods include rice, soy, and fish. Eat as little dairy products as possible. Here are some of the diet principles.

Eat about 80% of the food you feel you need. Eat low-calorie foods; these are foods that may contain the highest level of micronutrients. Eat seven or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Eat seven servings of legumes and grains daily. Eat two servings of soy daily. Eat algae; they include several minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Eat fish three times a day. Limit your consumption of animal products, replacing them with vegetable proteins. Drink very little alcohol but drink a small amount of red wine regularly. You should try to avoid sugar and salt such as in prepared foods. Drink a lot of water and tea.

The Okinawa Diet is said to reduce the risks of diabetes, excess cholesterol, cancer, and heart disease. It also claims to lower stress and fight against aging. An advantage of this diet is its ease to follow, unless you are a fan of salt or sugar. You may find yourself hungry.

Here are two sample menus:

Menu 1
Breakfast: A slice of carrot cake. A nectarine. Tea.
Lunch: A few sushi. Algae soup. Grated carrots. Tea.
Supper: Miso soup. A bowl of white rice.

Cucumber salad. A banana. Tea.

Menu 2
Breakfast: A two-egg herb omelet. Two slices of bran bread. An apple. Tea.
Lunch: A lettuce, tomato, tofu, and endive sandwich on whole-grain bread. A bowl of rice. An orange. Tea.
Supper: Soy and carrot salad. A bowl of white rice. Curried lentils. A peach. Tea.

You should be able to acheive that no problem as long as you exercise and maintain a healthy diet. Try Weight Watchers, everyone I know who has stuck to it has gotten good results. You’ll want to do some cardio as well. If you’re used to doing nothing, start with a long walk and build your way up to running… good luck =)
