Carotenoid foods
(includes carrots, mangos and tomato puree)
These orange and green superfoods are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) believed by many to help in preventing cancer, particularly those cancers involving the esophagus and stomach. The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss regime.



Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, chives and green onion)

The onion and garlic family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is little scientific evidence obtainable, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce the symptoms of blood circulation, sterilization and insomnia.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, 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
