Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, asparagus, soya beans & cayenne)

The nutrients called 'flavonoids' discovered in these food types show promise in preventing cancer.
Medical experts investigating the medical effects of flavonoids believe they could also have many benefits to our health, including, but not limited to, anti-allergic and antitumor properties.
Most also help you lose weight, so should be included in every diet.



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

The onion range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not enough, real proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and fatigue.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.



The low-cal diet

As most people know, a low calorie weight loss regime depends on the fact that in order to diet successfully, then you have to eat less calories than you need.

The calorie defined?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a meal contains more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when eaten.

Low calorie foods include green beans, green peppers, apricots, lean ham, and eggs.

"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
