Diet types The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index nutrition and weightloss system is based on the glycaemic index, a chart showing foods and a score illustrating the ease that the energy in the food gets converted to glucose in the dieters body. The theory is that slow acting food types (ie with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to eat less food without feeling you are missing out. It's also extremely efficient for people with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in managing rises in blood sugar amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially devised by Barry Sears in a number of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight reduction diet, although some people discover that they really manage to lose body weight by following it. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the secretion of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts one's body in a balanced state which is much more healthful than usual, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears states that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The main method of the zone system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take increased amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.

"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
