Foods rich in lycopene (includes water melon, red peppers & tomatoes) The chemical lypcopene is a non-synthetic compound used to color foods and part of the carotenid family. It is the agent responsible for the vivid red color of a good number of food types. Unlike most other nutrients, it is not damaged during the cooking process, but is truly improved by going through the cooking process. . Its main health contribution is that it serves as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to reduce the risks of cancer. It is the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to hamper the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.

"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
