Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, mangos and winter squash)
These colorful fruit and veg have high levels of the carotenoids thought by experts be a key nutrient in helping stop cancer, particularly cancers of the lungs. Many are low in calories, so should be a part of every diet.



Lycopene foods
(includes watermelon, red bell peppers and cochinchin gourd)

The nutrient lypcopene is a natural chemical compound and a member of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the red hue of many fruit and vegetables.

Usefully, unlike many other nutritional compounds, this useful phytochemical is not damaged during the cooking process, but is essentially made more effective by being cooked.

. Lycoprene's most valuable value is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to help reduce the probabilty of cancer.

It is the most potent eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It is also believed to block the progression of atherosclerosis.



Low calorie diet

In simple terms, low calorie diet states that in order to become thinner, then you have to take in less calories than you need.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If something contains more calories, then it will gives you more energy when your body burns it.

Examples of low calorie foods include green beans, green peppers, water melon, beef, and low-fat cheese.

"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
