Superfoods containing carotenes (includes parsley, rose hip puree and tomato ketchup) These amazing superfoods have high levels of the carotenoids believed by scientists to play a major part in minimising the risk of cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lungs. The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss regime. Super foods containing lycopene (includes grapefruit, red peppers and rosehip) The chemical lypcopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is behind the deep red color of many fruits and vegetables. Fortunately, unlike numerous nutrients, it does not degrade if cooked, rather it is truly improved by being heated. . Lycoprene's most interesting nutritional contribution is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the battle to reduce the risks of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also thought by many experts to block the growth 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
