Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, white onions and spring onions) The onion and garlic family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is as yet, not enough real proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought to reduce problems with colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. Foods containing carotenes (includes cilantro, rose hip puree and winter squash) These amazing natural foods contain alpha and beta carotenes believed by nutritionalists be a key nutrient in minimizing the chances of contracting, particularly cancers of the stomach. A good number also help you lose weight, so should be included in every weight loss program. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and an indicator of the rapidity that the glucose and energy in the food gets transformed to sugar in your body. The claim is that slow release foods (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can consume fewer food without feeling you are always hungry. It is also extremeley useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in reducing rises in glucose levels.

"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
