The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is based around the glycaemic index, a list showing foods and an indicator of the ease that the glucose and energy in the food type gets converted to sugar in the dieters body. The claim is that slow release foods (ie with a low Gi number), keep you feeling full longer and help you to take in fewer food without starving yourself. It is also very beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in reducing surges in glucose amount. Foods containing lycopene (includes apricots, red peppers & sweet gourd) Lycopene is a natural compound and a member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is responsible for the deep red color of a good number of fruit, vegetables and pulses. Intrestingly, unlike many other healthy agents, it does not degrade if cooked, rather it is really strengthened by being cooked. . Its most important nutritional contribution is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to help to lower the probabilty of cancer. Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also thought by nutritionalists to curtail the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.

"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
