The modern world is faceing with obesity increasingly more and more. Nutrition has the most important role in the development of disease.
Excess weight is due to lower energy consumption. The life today requires us to do things very fast: to eat fast, to work more in less time, but also to relax more. Here have appeared more comfortable habits, tend to inactivity, consumption of a large number of calories in a small amount of food.
Each of us wants a miraculous recipe, to eat much, to do as little effort and lose weight! This is not normally! There are pathological situations that meet these conditions (hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus), but I think they are not wanted by any person who wants to lose weight.
Over time were developed a lot of schemes. Here are some of them:
- Atkins diet: in essence, this diet is to eliminate carbohydrates blamed for weight gain and unlimited consumption of protein and fats. Advantage on quick weight loss, but the disadvantages are more numerous because vitamin deficiencies occur, increasing the risk of heart disease.
- Shelton diet: Only protein meals or only carbohydrate. The advantage is fast weight loss with significant imbalances.
- Antoine regime: it takes the same type of food all day (Monday only meat, fruit only Tuesday only Wednesday eggs, only vegetable Thursday, Friday only milk, but over Saturday, etc..). The rapid weight loss, but produce large imbalances and regain the pounds soon after cure.
- Diet of MAYO clinic in the United States: hypocaloric marked, lead to rapid weight loss with vitamin deficiencies, with fatigue and anxiety making it difficult to mantain.
- Diet of Victoria Principal (USA): consumption of very low amount of protein which results in reduced muscle mass but you gain weight faster.
- Conditions of Scarsdale (USA): prepared by a cardiologist, is hipolipidic and complying with the same combination of foods for every meal for 15 days, is baned alcohol, milk and fruit juices. Has no risk, but is unbalanced and repetition lead to major deficiencies.
- Diet of Howard Hay: is based on carbohydrates.
- Conditions of Susan Powter: reduce the intake of protein and fat and encourages the consumption of carbohydrates (which is in vice versa to the Atkins diet). It is followed by vitamin deficiencies.
- Zen diet: 10 days to eat only rice. Difficult to mantain it and followed by significant deficiencies.
- Hollywood diet: consumes only fruit in any combination. It is difficult to mantain because it’s hard to tolerate.
- Sulitzer diet: 60 grams of protein per day, 10 grams of butter per day, 50 grams of bread per day, without other restrictions, but the quantity considered is necessary. It is quite balanced.
