The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the gi index, a list of foods and a score representing the ease with which the glucose and energy of the food type gets changed to glucose in your bloodstream. The believe is that slow acting types of food (ie those with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can eat less food without craving snacks all the time. It's also very good for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in controlling increases in glucose secretion. Lycopene super foods (includes grapefruit, red peppers and rosehip) The chemical lypcopene is a naturally occurring compound and part of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'.

"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
