Types of diet The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented this diet for people who have cardiac problems, as a consequence of his detailed study of scientific studies on other weight loss regimes. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, turkey breast, fish and shellfish, parmesan cheese, almonds, lowfat or nonfat milk and some vegatables, like green beans, eggplant and spinach. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weight loss system is linked to the glycaemic index, a list showing food types and a score representing the ease that the carbs in the food type gets transformed to sugar in your system. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are missing out. It is also especially beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in minimizing rises in glucose amount.

"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
