Foods rich in lycopene
(includes apricot, red peppers and tomatoes)

The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic compound used to color foods and part of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the red colour of quite a few fruit, vegetables and pulses.

Intrestingly, unlike numerous other nutritional compounds, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is actually increased in efficacy by cooking.

. Lycoprene's key benefit is that it acts as an antioxidant and is thought to help to reduce the risks of cancer.

It is the most effective remover of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It is also believed to hamper the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.



Cruciferous vegetables, Tasty superfoods that help with Dieting
(eg. Arugula, Cauliflower, Collard greens and Horseradish)
These cruciferous vegetables are rich in vitamins (eg.folate and vitamin c), minerals (eg. selenium), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents.

Over and above their most other health and weight loss benefits, some of these nutrients are thought to help reduce the cancer risk.



The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight reduction whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, for example bacon and hard cheese.
On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is referred to as a high protein, low carb, diet system.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

"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
