In a list of 35 popular diets to a study by US News and World Report expert advice from the expert meeting he gave the verdict The biggest diet loser and the DASH diet as the best diet for diabetics, while helping individuals to prevent disease or for those who have the reverse. But, is it really a best of the best? These two champions, is it still a champion yet? I decided to make a step to compare to discover.
I compared two examples of menus used by the panel of experts assembled by and used by US News. While most diet planned for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner, the DASH diet only provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner loser.
A comparison of their nutritional values shows that if the biggest loser plan provides 1,489 calories against between 1600 and 2000 recommended daily intake (depending on age) for women and between 2000-2400 calories (also depending on age) diet DASH offers in its 1500 and 2300 calories calorie diet in 2037 and 2062 mg, respectively.
An assessment of any provision calorie diet to the nearest place of the assigned to each age group recommended the DASH diet makes reference clearly ahead of the Biggest Loser diet. As such, the first element is DASH diet. For the biggest loser diet, while providing about 25 percent of your daily calories, the DASH diet, respectively 26 and 27 percent for versions 1500 mg and 2300 mg. This is contrary to the recommended 20 to 35 percent in these scores daily amount.
Saturated fats, both have plans about 5 percent, although the DASH diet additional with an additional percentage (6 percent) 2300 mg edges. Both are within the limits of 10 percent below the recommendation. In fat so that the frame as equal.
Both meet the requirement that the total carbohydrates to compensate for between 45 and 65 percent of the recommended daily caloric intake. The loser 50 percent larger diet, while the DASH diet to 56 and 55 percent respectively. In that sense I also make these plans evenly. As in much also they meet the standard fiber, while the biggest losers 31g is far from the recommendation of 34 g for men 19 to 30 years.
In addition, since a high-fiber diet has been considered a key factor to prevent and reverse diabetes and the DASH diet high numbers 36 and 37 g to 31 g biggest loser in my opinion Place the DASH diet in this respect, ahead of biggest loser diet.
Recommended for reference protein is between 10 to 35 percent of the daily caloric intake. Both schemes make the grade. Biggest Loser diet to 30 percent, while the DASH diet at the lower end of the mark of 18 percent. The reason for the latter figure on the DASH diet may be due to the design of energy confessed to stop hypertension and therefore reducing red meat. However, it should be noted that red meat is not the only source of protein. It is the white meat and protein-rich legumes like beans. In addition, as a diabetic, no matter who the s / power is to be effective, will supplement this diet with exercise, a diet that helps to strength training for muscle health would be more advantageous. In this sense, the point is ... the biggest loser diet.
Sodium or salt, the recommendation is 2300mg and 1500mg as for people over 51 years. Unfortunately, the biggest loser diet is far from that mark and 2,904 mg clearly above the limit. The DASH diet however responds well to 1,507 mg to 1,500 mg its menu and its menu to 2,101 mg 2,300 mg. At this point, the point in this category is issued.
Next potassium test. The biggest loser diet does not meet the recommended amount of at least 4700 mg daily amount. It is 3460 mg against the DASH diet 4855 mg (1500 mg diet) and 4909mg (2300 mg regimen). Again, the DASH diet wins the category.
Regarding the intake of dietary calcium Biggest Loser works best. DASH diet slightly ahead yield 1.218 mg and 120 mg for a 1500 mg and 2300 mg diet versions respectively with its own 1128 mg. However, since both are the degree and the losers is slightly better than the DASH diet, the same score for this category are awarded.
For vitamin B-12 also, the two systems meet the mark. The Biggest Loser diet with 6.3 mg in the recommended daily amount of 2.4 mg as the DASH diet 4.4 mg and 6.7 mg, respectively, in relation to the schemes in 1500 and 2300 mcg mcg diet.
However, with respect to vitamin D, apparently the two regimes do not meet the recommended daily allowance of 15 mcg. So while the DASH diet reaches 11 mcg, the biggest loser diet edges very slightly 11.4mcg. However this is not enough for us to award the Biggest Loser diet a victory for this category, especially not complying with the recommended daily amount.
As for the recommended amounts per day, it should be noted that this designation applies to adults 19 and over and assumes a sedentary life.
However, the results are now in. After the DASH diet exceeds the biggest loser regime categories of daily calorie intake recommended, provisions for fiber, sodium and potassium and dietary largest only winners in the category of protein and both loser are assigned the same ratings in the rest, we can see clearly that the DASH diet prevailed. In addition, you can honestly say that not only the best diet for diabetes, but in the end, based on studies and the fact that it was actually designed to help stop hypertension, which can only be for the now, the best regimen commonly used here.
However, having said this, one can not overstate that diabetics and others should take care of your doctor before starting any diet or exercise.
On a final note, for type 2 diabetes because excess weight is a risk factor for developing diabetes and diet biggest loser has an excellent roadmap to help people lose weight, it is my recommendation here that food standards of the DASH diet regime coupled with the exercise of most diet loser. As such, the best aspects of these popular diet programs above can be synthesized in a perfectly suitable program for type 2 diabetics and people in general.
