Weight loss diets The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is based around the glycaemic index, a chart showing food types and an indicator of the rapidity with which the energy of the food type gets converted to sugar in your body. The claim is that long-acting food types (ie those with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help to reduce your consumption of food without feeling hungry. It is also extremeley useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in controlling rises in blood glucose amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight reduction diet, but many zone diet fans find that they really manage to lose weight by following this system. The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the amount of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts the body in a balanced state that is more healthy than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when in the 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most important procedure of the zone system is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 6 and 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
