Super foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red bell peppers & rosehip)

The nutrient lypcopene is a non-synthetic compound and member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the reason for the deep red color of many types of food.

Intrestingly, unlike many other vitamins, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is noticeably made more effective by being heated.

. Its most interesting advantage is that it acts as an antioxidant and seems to help lower the chances of cancer.

This useful phytochemical is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to block the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.



Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, turnip greens and winter squash)
These orange and green superfoods contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed by scientists be a key nutrient in cancer prevention, particularly of the stomach. Many are low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.



The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, although many people believe that they really seem to lose weight by following it.
The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts the body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more wholesome than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that a body that is in 'the zone' is much more efficient and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat.
The main technique of the diet is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.

"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
