Diet types


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet is based around the gi index, a chart showing food types and a score illustrating the rapidity that the glucose and energy of the food gets changed to sugar in your body. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite and mean that you can eat less food without feeling hungry.
It is also extremeley effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in managing surges in blood glucose levels.

"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
