Healthy foods with carotenes
(includes paprika, collard greens and sweet potatoes)
These colorful healthy superfoods are rich in carotenes thought by experts to play a major part in cancer prevention, particularly those cancers involving the esophagus and stomach. Most are also low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.



The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based on the glycaemic index, a list showing food types and an indicator of the ease with which the carbohydrates of the food type gets converted to sugar in your body. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite and help you to take in fewer food without feeling hungry.
It is also extremely good for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in reducing surges in blood glucose secretion.

"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
