Vegetables (especially cabbage, raw spinach, endive, and asparagus), whole grains, citrus fruit, papaya, and tomatoes are rich sources of folic acid. Bananas, pears, and brown rice offer vitamin B6, which is a superb antioxidant in its own right, and is even known as a painkiller. But it cannot be taken alone in high doses for too long. Vitamin B12 is found in fermented tofu, tempeh, and in Bi2 lozenges of 500 to 1,000 meg a day. Avoid dietary intake of substances that deplete the B vitamin family, such as caffeine and prolonged alcohol consumption.

When it comes to weight loss, whether you eat grapefruit, cabbage soup, or bacon and eggs matters far less than the number of calories you consume. The obvious question is, if most diets succeed in producing weight loss, what's the problem? It's really very simple; they end. When they do, the weight creeps back on. Unfortunately, in many cases the diet sends your metabolism on a downward swing, and your body becomes even more efficient than it was before. This means that in addition to gaining back the lost weight, you may end up with a bonus of a few extra pounds.
