The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index weight loss program is reliant on the gi index, a list showing foods and an indicator of the speed with which the carbohydrates in the food gets transformed to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The theory is that slow acting types of food (ie with a low Gi number), will keep you feeling full for longer and help to take in less food without being miserabl;e.
It is also beneficial for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI foods are useful in preventing rises in glucose levels.


The low calorie diet

In a nutshell, a low calorie weight loss regime says that if you intend to diet successfully, then you have to take in fewer calories than you actually use.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If something contains more calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when it is converted.

Low calorie food types include broccoli, cucumbers, guava, low fat ham, and skimmed milk.


Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, leeks and welsh onion)

The onion family is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is insufficient hard medical proof published, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to help with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and fatigue.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so are ideal for including in 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
