 If
you want to start a diet and don't want to worry about counting
calories, the south beach diet fits this requirement.
Instead, you are asked to have 6 meals a day, the traditional,
breakfast, lunch, dinner and then to eat snacks in between.
Actual
studies have shown that this diet works. "A 2004
study of the South Beach Diet by Agatston, et al., reviewed
a 1998-1999 trial completed by 54 participants over the course
of a year. A 2005
study of the South Beach Diet conducted by Kraft Foods was
completed by 69 subjects over the course of just under three
months. Both studies showed favorable results for the groups
using The South Beach diet." - Official site: http://www.southbeachdiet.com/public/default.asp
"The South Beach diet, developed by Miami,
Florida-area cardiologist
Arthur Agatston, emphasizes the consumption of "good
carbs" and "good fats". Dr. Agatston developed
this diet for his cardiac patients based upon his study of
scientific dieting research. The diet first appeared in a book
of the same name published by Rodale
Press."
"Dr. Agatston believes that excess consumption of so-called
"bad carbohydrates",
such as the rapidly-absorbed carbohydrates found in foods with a
high glycemic
index, creates an insulin
resistance syndrome—an impairment of the hormone insulin's
ability to properly process fat or sugar. In addition, he
believes along with many physicians that excess consumption of
"bad fats", such as saturated
fat and trans
fat, contributes to an increase in cardiovascular disease.
To prevent these two conditions, Agatston's diet minimizes
consumption of bad fats and bad carbs and encourages increased
consumption of good fats and good carbs." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Beach_diet
