Superfoods containing lycopene
(includes watermelon, papaya and tomato puree)

The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic pigment and one of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the reason for the dark red hue of many food types.

Usefully, unlike many other vitamins, it is not damaged if it is cooked, but is noticeably enhanced by being heated.

. Lycoprene's key theraputic value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the battle to lower the risk of cancer.

This useful phytochemical is the most potent carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also thought to block the development of atherosclerosis.



Low calorie diet

In short, the low-cal diet states that in order to diet successfully, the most important step is to eat fewer calories than you burn up.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If something has more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when eaten.

Examples of low calorie foods include celery, swede, apricot, low fat hot-dogs, 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
