Weight loss diets The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and a score illustrating the ease with which the glucose in the food gets converted to sugar in your bloodstream. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help you to reduce your intake of food without starving yourself. It's also extremely effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in controlling increases in blood glucose amount. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed the south beach diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific studies on other weight loss regimes. Good foods include, broiled ham, turkey bacon, oysters, fat-free cheeses, pecan halves, nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as artichokes, collard greens and sprouts.

"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
