Types of diet The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed the south beach diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other weight loss studies. Approved foods include, canadian bacon, chicken breast, clams, ricotta cheese, pistachios, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, such as lentils, broccoli and turnips. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition system is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing foods and a score representing the rapidity that the carbohydrates of the food gets converted to sugar in the dieters system. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those foods with a low Gi number), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are missing out. It is also very efficient for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing increases in blood sugar amount.

"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"
