Glycemic Index Food
2007-03-15 11:28:00
Glycemic Index of food is one of its most important traits.*** What is Glycemic Index The glycemic index is a conventional measure of how quick a food can raise our blood sugar. Food s are given a rating from 0 to 100 on the glycemic index with glucose in the highest position.The more the simple sugar - such as glucose, sucrose or starch - a food contains, the higher is its glycemic index rating, and vice verse, where food containing complex carbohydrate increases blood sugar slowly, and thus it has a low glycemic index rating.If we are to assist weight loss or control diabetes we should be concerned about glycemic index of food we eat. *** How does our bodies respond to different Glycemic Index ratings :There are individual variations in response to different types of food with different glycemic index ratings. Factors controlling the body response to glycemic index may be divided into two sets:* Factors related to the body includes:1- Age 2- Activity level 3-Time of the day whe...

Extracts other than Apple Cider Vinegar for Weight Loss
2007-03-11 15:47:00
Extracts of many plants have been used for their health benefits knowingly or unknowingly, since long time ago. Among these are Tea extract, Celery extract, Grape fruit extract, Mustard extract, Apple cider vinegar, in addition to many other extracts which will be dealt with in this article.1- Apple cider Vinegar :Well branded variety should be used to ensure it is natural and pure.You will add 1 tablespoonful of this vinegar to 1 cup of water, mix and take it directly after meals. It is said that it interferes with digestion of foods, but probably the dissolved indigestible carbohydrates (pectins) may hook some nutrients so that they will not be absorbed , yet they are excreted.2- Grape Leaves :The extract is prepared by boiling the leaves with water. To make the extract, put 50 grams of washed grape leaves in 1 Liter of water over a quite heat, and leave until boiling, then put it down and leave to cool, clear or filtrate, and take 1.5 cups after meals.If you have the grape leaves...

Busters Sugar

The authors of " Sugar Bust ers " diet - 3 physicians and a former SEO -choose sugar among foods that increase Insulin secretion to be the core of their plan. They claim that calories are not the answer to weight loss or gain, and that gaining weight is the result of the 'sin' of eating foods made with refined sugar (e.g. sweets) , or foods with a high-sugar content (some fruits and vegetables), as they wreak havoc on your metabolism.They exclude counting calories or measuring foods from their plan, yet they suggest that you consider " looking at portion size".They mention that moderate exercise will not significantly affect weight loss, if you continue to eat foods with high sugar content, and they warn that the diet is not for exercise fanatics.Foods Forbidden on the Sugar Busters Diet :# White bread (includes any bread with white flour in it)# Pasta, unless whole grain# White rice# White flour, and products made with it such as cake, cookies, crackers, pretzels, doughnuts, bagel...

Free Weight Watcher (WW) Users Review
2007-03-06 21:54:00
Before we see what the users of Weight Watcher(WW) say about using it, we better recognize some properties of the diet itself. WW diet does not deal with cutting down any of the major categories of food, rather it deals with portion size. Here is more information that describes the plans of the diet,as came in www.wikipedia.com :The Flex Plan:Under this plan, participants are assigned a set number of points to consume per day based on their current weight. The number of points allowed may be increased with exercise. The "Flex" part of the plan is that several additional points are allotted (which is not based on weight) that can be used or not used during the week.The Core Plan:In part as a response to the popularity of plans like Atkins and South Beach, Weight Watchers has recently developed a separate plan, known as the Core Plan. This plan classifies certain types of food as "core," and permits participants to eat core foods with the restriction that they should only eat these fo...

CTV.ca Gene s associated with Type 2 diabetes foundUpdated Mon. Feb. 12 2007 11:14 AM ETCTV.ca News StaffA study from researchers at McGill University Health Centre has identified four genes that contribute to Type 2 diabetes -- a discovery that could be a major breakthrough in the fight against the disease.The study, published in the scientific journal Nature, examined the human genome in hopes of identifying genes that contribute to the development of diabetes.A team led by endocrinologist Rob Sladek compared DNA samples from diabetes patients with samples from those without the disease. They found that the patients who developed diabetes all had genetic variants of chromosomes 8, 10 and 11."Of the four genes we have identified, two are involved in the development or function of insulin-secreting cells and one plays a role in the transport of zinc, an important mineral required for the production of insulin," says Sladek.Sladek said the findings will help identify people who risk d...

Atkins Diet Review
2007-02-01 10:07:00
Atkins diet was the first scientifically supported diet plan to adopt low carb food as its technique for losing weight. It has created a buzz about it , equal to or increasing the demand of the diet itself.You have heard that starting your first day with Atkins diet with eggs and bacon, snacks onchunks of cheese, top coffee with cream, a luxury not found on the low fat diet for example,yet you should give up other delicious varieties that contains carbohydrates like cake, biscuits,chocolate, pasta, rice, potatoes, crisps, even fruits and some veg in the primary stages.Atkins diet has been tried by millions of people and has generated a non-stop debate that consumed calories that may be even more than calories lost by using the diet itself.The Theory behind Atkins Diet :Atkins diet is a high protein, low carbohydrate diet designed by the late Dr. R.Atkins. It is based on what is known in physiology as KETOSIS, that is, when you cut out carbohydrates, you direct the body to regulate t...

Carbohydrates for Weight loss
2006-09-11 11:37:00
Our source of carbohydrates is plants. Plants compose carbohydrates in two forms:A- Storage carbohydrates which are :1- Easily digested to release glucose quickly.2- Of compact size for space economy of the plant.3- Of spacial configuration that is compatible with Amylases ( their digestive enzymes).Starch represents this group of storage carbohydrates.B- Structural carbohydrates which are :1- Of large intra-molecular spaces to hold water inside the plant.2- Not liable to digestion by carbohydrate digesting enzymes to guard against decay of living plants.3- Of rigid nature for stature of plants ( they have no bones).Cellulose & Hemicellulose represent structural carbohydrate group.When humans eat digestible carbohydrates (starchy food), their digestion starts as soon as they are admixed with saliva where its amylase splits starch into linear fragments that is ended with formation of soluble glucose which is absorbed through the intestine.When they eat indigestible carbohydrates ...
