Superfoods containing lycopene (includes apricot, red peppers & tomatoes) The chemical lypcopene is a naturally occurring coloring agent and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. This chemical is behind the red colour of some foods. Unlike numerous other nutritional compounds, it is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is observably improved by going through the cooking process. . Its most valuable nutritional contribution is that it serves as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the battle to reduce the chances of contracting cancer. It is the strongest carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It's also thought by many researchers to prevent the development of atherosclerosis. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes carrots, rose hip puree and tomato ketchup) These natural foods contain alpha and beta carotenes believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimising the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the lungs. The majority of these are low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss program.

"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
