Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, white onions and green onion) The onion range of vegetables is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is not enough, hard medical proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to aid in antiinflammatory effect, sterilization and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss program. Lycopene foods (includes apricots, papaya and tomatoes) The nutrient lypcopene is a naturally occurring coloring agent and a member of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. Lycopene is responsible for the deep red colour of quite a few fruit, vegetables and pulses. Unlike many vitamins, lycopene is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is in fact enhanced by the cooking process. . Lycoprene's main nutritional contribution is that it acts as an antioxidant and seems to help to lower the risks of contracting cancer. It is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is connected with aging of the skin. It's also thought by nutritionalists to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis.

"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
