The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and a score representing the speed that the glucose in the food type gets changed to sugar in your body. The theory is that slow acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and help to consume fewer food without craving snacks all the time. It is also extremeley useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in preventing increases in blood glucose levels. Lycopene foods (includes grapefruit, red peppers and cochinchin gourd) The chemical lypcopene is a natural chemical compound and member of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is accountable for the deep red hue of a good number of foods. Fortunately, unlike many nutritional compounds, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is really made more effective by being heated. . Its main theraputic value is that it is an antioxidant and seems to be an asset in the battle to lower the probabilty of contracting cancer. It is the most efficacious carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many experts to block the development of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.

"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
