1. CHEF ASHOK KUMAR

2. What is Ketogenic diet?
 The ketogenic diet (often termed keto) is a very
low-carb, high-fat diet that shares many
similarities with the Atkins and low-carb diets. It
involves drastically reducing carbohydrate
intake, and replacing it with fat. The reduction in
carbs puts your body into a metabolic state
called ketosis.

8. What Is Paleo Diet?
 The Paleo diet is the healthiest way you can eat
because it is the ONLY nutritional approach that
works with your genetics to help you stay lean,
strong and energetic! Research in biology,
biochemistry, Ophthalmology, Dermatology and
many other disciplines indicate it is our modern
diet, full of refined foods, trans fats and sugar,
that is at the root of degenerative diseases such
as obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease,
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, depression and infertility

12. What is Low Carb Diet?
 A low-carb diet is a diet that restricts
carbohydrates, such as those found in
sugary foods, pasta and bread. It is high in
protein, fat and healthy vegetables. There
are many different types of low-carb diets,
and studies show that they can cause
weight loss and improve health.

14. What is LCHF Diet?
 A low-carb diet means you eat fewer
carbohydrates and a higher proportion of fat.
This is often called a low-carb, high-fat diet
(LCHF). Most importantly, you minimize your
intake of sugar and starches. You can eat other
delicious foods until you are satisfied – and still
lose weight.

18. What is Atkins Diet?
 The Atkins diet, also known as the Atkins
nutritional approach, is a low-carbohydrate diet
promoted by Robert Atkins and inspired by a
research paper he read in The Journal of the
American Medical Association. The paper
entitled "Weight Reduction" was published by
Alfred W. Pennington in 1958.The Atkins diet is
classified as a fad diet

22. What is Detox / Master Cleanse
Diet?
 Is a liquid diet used to detoxify the body and
encourage weight loss. The diet is meant to be
strictly followed during a three- to 10-day period.
It is broken up into three phases: Ease-In, The
Lemonade Diet, and Ease Out. The Master
Cleanse Diet claims to make the body healthier
and energized while removing toxins from the
body and promoting weight loss

24. What is Blood Type Diet?
 The Eat Right for Your Type diet (Blood Type Diet)
advises people to eat certain foods based on
their blood type: A, B, AB, or O. The plan posits
that each blood type digests food proteins
(called lectins) differently and that eating the
wrong food proteins can cause ill effects on the
body—including slower metabolism, bloating,
and even certain diseases. According to this
diet, avoiding bad food proteins will help you
achieve better health.

27. What is Glycaemic Index Diet?
 The glycemic index (GI) is a scientific ranking
that classifies foods based on how quickly they
raise blood sugar levels. High-GI foods trigger a
rise in blood sugar and release insulin, which is
thought to trigger fat storage, intensify hunger,
and lead to weight gain. The premise is that by
avoiding foods that have a high-GI score, your
appetite will decrease, and you will
subsequently lose weight.

32. What is Hormone Diet?
 The Hormone Diet suggests that hormone
fluctuations can negatively affect a person’s
weight, as well as other factors that can
contribute to weight gain. The diet is designed
to sync hormones with diet, exercise, nutritional
supplements, and detoxification. The diet
regulates what you eat and indicates the right
time to eat to ensure the maximum benefit to
your hormones.

35. What is Macrobiotic Diet?
 A blend of Buddhism and Western practices, this
diet is more of a life makeover—macrobiotic
means “long life”—to achieve both physical and
Zen-like mental harmony. The diet is primarily
vegetarian, with some fish and seafood, and
focuses on natural and organic foods. True
followers of the diet opt for fresh, locally grown
foods. The diet's nod to Eastern philosophies
supports the idea of achieving a yin-yang
balance from food.

38. What is Mediterranean Diet?
 The Mediterranean Diet encourages an all-
encompassing healthy lifestyle through
consumption of simple, fresh foods and fitness.
Based on the traditional eating habits of poor
coastal regions of Southern Italy, Crete, and
Greece, it includes vegetables and legumes,
fresh fruit, olive oil, and moderate amounts of
fish, poultry, and red wine. The diet promises
healthy weight loss, along with numerous other
health benefits.

41. What is New Beverly Hills Diet?
 The New Beverly Hills Diet is an updated version
of the original that was published in 1981. The
diet suggests that food doesn't inherently cause
weight gain; inefficiently digested food is to
blame. The diet encourages eating the right
foods at the right time and paying particular
attention to food pairing—that is, which foods
you are eating together.

43. What is Nutrisystem Diet?
 The Nutrisystem Diet is a prepaid meal plan with
28 days worth of meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner,
and dessert) delivered to your door. Menus
provide a mix of low-glycemic carbohydrates,
plenty of fiber, and lean protein. Daily caloric
allowances are restricted to 1,200 for women
and 1,500 for men. Nutrisystem offers support
from registered dietitians throughout the
program.

47. What is Shangri-La Diet?
 The Shangri-La Diet has one rule: Take 1 to 3
tablespoons of extra light olive oil and/or 1 to 2
tablespoons of sugar water twice daily between
meals. The premise is that the body learns to
associate flavorful foods with calories, thus
leading to overindulgence and weight gain. In
theory, by consuming olive oil and sugar water,
which have calories but little taste, you teach
your body to stop associating flavor with
calories, and it will want less food.

49. What is Volumetrics Diet?
 The Volumetrics Diet aims to empower readers
to quit on-and-off dieting for good by living a
healthy lifestyle based on nutritious food and
regular exercise. The diet focuses on the “energy
density” of foods (the number of calories in a
specific amount of food). This low-calorie, high-
volume eating plan includes foods with a lot of
water and fiber, as both can increase your sense
of fullness.

52. What is Weight Watchers Diet?
 The primary focus of Weight Watchers is long-
term weight management with a commitment
to better eating habits and a healthier lifestyle.
There are no forbidden foods. Instead, a point
system ascribes values to foods. To achieve
weight-loss goals, dieters must stay under a
certain number of points for foods consumed.
Support and education are part of the
comprehensive approach to healthier food and
exercise choices.

54. What is Zone Diet?
 The Zone suggests that food can affect the
hormonal response of the body and cause
changes in insulin production. The diet suggests
a food plan with a balanced ratio of
carbohydrates (40%), protein (30%), and fat
(30%). This mix is optimal for how the human
body is genetically programmed and will allow
the body to enter an efficient metabolic state
("The Zone").

57. What is Dash Diet?
 The DASH diet is a lifelong approach to healthy
eating that's designed to help treat or prevent
high blood pressure (hypertension). The DASH
diet encourages you to reduce the sodium in
your diet and eat a variety of foods rich in
nutrients that help lower blood pressure, such as
potassium, calcium and magnesium

62. What is Vegan Diet?
 What is a Vegan? Vegetarians do not eat meat,
fish, or poultry. Vegans, in addition to being
vegetarian, do not use other animal products
and by-products such as eggs, dairy products,
honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, cosmetics, and
soaps derived from animal products.

65. What is Raw Food Diet?
 Think uncooked, unprocessed, mostly organic
foods. Your staples: raw fruits, vegetables, nuts,
seeds, and sprouted grains. Some eat
unpasteurized dairy foods, raw eggs, meat, and
fish. Your food can be cold or even a little bit
warm, as long as it doesn't go above 118
degrees.

68. What is Ayurvedic Diet?
 Ayurveda is the ancient medical system of India.
It offers one of the fastest paths to health.
Instead of having to guess which foods,
supplements, and behaviors are appropriate for
you, there is a simple, direct prescriptive path
that is developed for your unique body type, or
dosha
