Diet information The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weightloss system is linked to the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the carbs in the food type gets changed to glucose in your body.

"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
