Diet information


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index nutrition and weightloss system is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list of food types and a score illustrating the ease that the carbohydrates of the food gets converted to sugar in your system. The theory is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to reduce your intake of food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are helpful in minimizing rises in blood glucose levels.

"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
