Super foods containing lycopene (includes water melon, papaya & tomato) Lycopene is a simple pigment and a member of the carotenid family. It is behind the dark red color of quite a few fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, unlike numerous healthy agents, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, but is in actuality increased in efficacy by being cooked. . Lycoprene's main theraputic value is that it is an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the battle to reduce the risks of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the most potent quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It's also believed to slow down the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss program is based on the gi index, a chart showing types of food and an indicator of the rapidity that the glucose of the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The theory is that slow release food types (ie with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can take in less food without feeling you are missing out. It's also extremely good for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in managing rises in blood sugar levels.

"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
