Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, white onions and green onion) The alliaceae family is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is very little real proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to help with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so are ideal for including in your diet. Lycopene foods (includes water melon, red peppers and tomato puree) The nutrient lypcopene is a natural chemical compound and part of the carotenid family. Lycopene is behind the dark red colour of some fruits and vegetables. Usefully, unlike numerous other nutritional compounds, it does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is really made more effective by cooking. . Lycoprene's most important theraputic value is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to help lower the risks of contracting cancer. This useful phytochemical is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many researchers to slow down the development of atherosclerosis. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight reduction diet, however many people find that they actually manage to lose weight when following it. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is more healthful than usual, which is known as the zone. Sears holds the theory that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The key technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.

"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
