Foods rich in lycopene (includes apricots, red bell peppers & rosehip) Lycopene is a natural compound used to color foods and one of the carotenid family. Lycopene is behind the dark red color of some fruits and vegetables. Intrestingly, unlike many nutrients, it is not damaged if it is cooked, but is in actuality enhanced by going through the cooking process. . Its most valuable advantage is that it is an antioxidant and appears to help reduce the risks of developing cancer. Lycopene is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It's also thought by many researchers to curtail the growth of atherosclerosis.

"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
