Weight loss diets The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is based on the gi index, a chart showing types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity that the carbohydrates of the food type gets changed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that slow release food types (ie with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite for longer and help to reduce your intake of food without feeling hungry. It is also very efficient for diabetics, as the low GI food types are beneficial in managing increases in blood glucose secretion. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system primarily invented by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight loss diet, but many 'zone dieters' discover that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you manage to control the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts the body in a balanced state which is an awful lot more wholesome than it normally is, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its most efficient and, because of this, doesn't build up layers of fat. The most important procedure of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.

"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
