Weight loss diets


The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index nutrition system is based around the gi index, a list showing types of food and an indicator of the speed with which the carbohydrates of the food type gets transformed to sugar in the dieters bloodstream. The believe is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Gi number), suppress your appetite for longer and help to reduce your intake of food without being miserabl;e.
It's also very useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in controlling surges in 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
