The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the glycaemic index, a chart showing types of food and a score representing the speed that the energy of the food type gets changed to sugar in the dieters body. The claim is that long-acting food types (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to take in less food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also extremely good for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in controlling increases in blood glucose levels. Superfoods containing flavonoids (inlcudes lettuce, red apples, lima bean & cayenne) The nutrients called 'flavonoids' discovered in these fruit and vegetables are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in helping to prevent cancer. Doctors researching the effects of flavonoids think they may well also have numerous benefits to our health, amongst them, anti-viral and antioxidant activities.. The majority of these are also low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss program.

"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
