The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss program is reliant on the glycaemic index, a chart showing foods and an indicator of the speed that the carbohydrates in the food type gets transformed to glucose in your bloodstream. The claim is that slow release food types (ie those food types with a low Gi score), keep you satiated for longer and mean that you can consume fewer food without feeling you are missing out. It's also especially beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in reducing increases in glucose secretion. Foods rich in flavonoids (inlcudes cranberry, kohlrabi, scarlet runner bean & cayenne) The compounds known as flavonoids present in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are thought to have properties in preventing cancer. Researchers researching the properties of flavonoids believe that they could also have most other health benefits, including, but not limited to, antiviral and antioxidant properties. Many also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss regime.

"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
