Weight loss diets The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is based on the glycaemic index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the carbohydrates in the food gets changed to glucose in the dieters body. The claim is that slow acting types of food (ie those with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can cut down on food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also beneficial for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in controlling rises in blood glucose secretion. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially invented by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet followers believe that they seem to lose weight by following the zone diet. The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state which is far more healthful than usual, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears believes that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main method of the system is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
