Lycopene rich foods (includes water melon, red peppers and sweet gourd) The nutrient lypcopene is a natural coloring agent and one of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is behind the red hue of quite a few fruit, vegetables and pulses. Intrestingly, unlike many other nutrients, this useful phytochemical does not degrade if cooked, rather it is essentially strengthened by being heated. . Its most valuable health contribution is that it works as an antioxidant and is thought to be an asset in the fight to lower the probabilty of cancer. This useful phytochemical is the strongest eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It's also thought to block the progression of atherosclerosis. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, leeks and welsh onion) The onion, leek and garlic family is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is not enough, scientific proof published, allyl sulfides are also thought to aid in colds, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your weight loss regime. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss program is based around the gi index, a list showing food types and an indicator of the speed with which the carbohydrates of the food type gets changed to glucose in your system. The theory is that slow release food types (ie those with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to eat less food without starving yourself. It's also extremely beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in preventing rises in blood glucose 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
