Weight loss systems The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his dietary regime as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a result of his analysis of scientific research completed on other dietary studies. Examples of good foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, seafood, ricotta cheese, peanut butter, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, such as chickpeas, eggplant and mushrooms. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is based on the gi index, a list of foods and a score illustrating the speed that the glucose in the food type gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The believe is that long-acting foods (ie those foods with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to reduce your intake of food without craving snacks all the time. It is also very efficient for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in preventing surges in blood glucose amount.

"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"
