In order to reduce the glycemic load in the daily nutrition of diabetics, obese and for weight-reducing diets, this invention claims cooking or baking processes and other procedures for food—rich in carbohydrates—in which, the structure of the raw complex carbohydrates (amylose, amylopectin, etc.) is mostly preserved and / or short saccharides are encapsulated. This objective is attained by reducing the magnitude of the complex carbohydrate fractioning by the undesired effect of adiabatic heating during grain grinding, or during conventional cooking and also through the encapsulation of already processed monosaccharide's, disaccharides or broken carbohydrate chains in capsules within denaturalized protein matrixes, in order to make their digestion deeper and longer. These processes and procedures allow the ingestion of less restricted portions of food, very similar to the conventional ones (bread, rice, potato, pastas) while due to their prolonged digestion, it naturally limits the immediate production of glucose. This type of food is defined as: “Deep Diet” or “Deep Nutrition” (Dieta Profunda in Spanish). These processes and procedures allow preparing food recipes and flavors very similar to those of a conventional nature (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta) while because of their prolonged digestion are able to reduce the immediate production of glucose (Glycemic Index), thus generating healthier conditions for diabetics and obese, appetite satisfaction and reduction of food anxiety.

Described is the use of Eubacterium hallii et rel. and / or Alcaligenes faecalis et rel., as well as pharmaceutical, food, or feed compositions comprising these bacteria as a medicament, in particular, for preventing and / or treating insulin resistance and / or insulin resistance-related complications such as metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as insulin resistance in endocrine diseases (e.g., obese subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus, Cushing's disease and lipodystrophy syndromes. Also described is a method for preventing and / or treating insulin resistance and / or insulin resistance-related complications such as dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as insulin resistance in endocrine diseases (e.g., obese subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus, Cushing's disease and lipodystrophy syndromes) in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising the step of increasing the level of Eubacterium hallii et rel. and / or Alcaligenes faecalis et rel. in the small intestine.

This is a modified fridge (1) with a food weighing balance (5), a visual display (2) with in built electronic control, input keys (3) and speaker (4). Pre-weighed food containers (6) are kept in a clean washable clean rack (7) fitted to sides or top. The electronic control with appropriate processor input and output devices, circuits and software integrates the fridge with food balance and visual display and speaker. User enters his code, opens fridge and loads in pre-weighed food container (6) his food and weighs it. The food type and container code are entered by input keys (3). The food balance calculates the food weight alone and sends to electronic control which calculates the calorie. Additional food of that meal is also weighed. The control calculates that meal, daily, weekly or monthly calorie chart and displays it. Similar charts for water, and other nutrients can be displayed Reflective mirror film (8) motivates for good control of eating.

The invention provides a low calorie fruit juice beverage. The beverage has the advantages of simple and easily available raw materials, good taste, utilization of a calorie-free purely natural sweetener, suitability for diabetic patients, obesity subjects and people needing reduced energy intake and a high health care function, and overcomes shortcomings of conventional fruit juice beverages. The low calorie fruit juice beverage in the invention mainly comprises the following raw materials of purified water, condensed fruit juice, stevioside, erythritol, a sour additive and natural perfume; the beverage further comprises a plurality of vitamin components, which supplements vitamins that human bodies lose every day; increased erythritol has the functions of metabolism and toxin expelling; addition of natural perfume of different taste enables people's demand for a plurality of flavor to be satisfied.
