Foods containing carotenes
(includes carrots, kale and tomato puree)
These amazing foods contain carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by nutritionalists be a key nutrient in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly of the lungs. Most are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your diet.



Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, white onions and welsh onion)

The onion family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is precious little definitive proof present, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to reduce problems with antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and insomnia.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your diet.

"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
