Superfoods containing lycopene (includes guava, papaya and tomato sauce) The nutrient lypcopene is a naturally occurring chemical compound and part of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is responsible for the dark red hue of quite a few natural foods. Unlike numerous healthy agents, it is not damaged if it is cooked, instead it is actually improved by being heated. . Lycoprene's most valuable theraputic value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the fight to lower the risks of developing cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most potent fighter of singlet oxygen, which is associated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to hamper the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing foods and a score illustrating the ease with which the glucose of the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters system. The believe is that long-acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to take in less food without feeling hungry. It is also extremeley effective for folk with diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in controlling surges in blood sugar secretion.

"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
