Diet types The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and an indicator of the speed with which the glucose and energy in the food type gets transformed to sugar in the dieters body. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can reduce your intake of food without feeling hungry. It is also very efficient for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are useful in controlling increases in glucose amount. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a fat reduction diet, although some people believe that they really seem to lose weight when following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if one can manage to gain control of the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts one's body in a state of balance that is far more wholesome than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The key technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get large 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
