The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the glucose of the food type gets converted to glucose in your body. The theory is that slow acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and help to take in less food without starving yourself.
It's also extremely useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in minimizing rises in glucose secretion.


Cruciferous vegetables, Wonderfoods that also help with your Your diet
(includes Cauliflower, Cauliflower, Collard greens and Radishes)
Known as cruciferous vegetables, these are jam-packed with vitamins (eg.vitamin c), minerals (selenium and potassium, amongst others), fibre, chlorophyll, antioxidents, isothiocyanates, and indole-3-carbinol.

Amongst most other health and weight loss benefits, the isothiocyanates in these are thought to help reduce the cancer risk in those prone to it..

"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
