Shape up with tomatoes

Living in these difficult economic times that we are living in now, I won't use the "d" word but we certainly have been in a recession, growing your own vegies is a great way of saving money and also very rewarding. Home grown vegetables have a far greater nutritional value than shop bought and also you are able to pick them and use straight away, hence losing very little vital life force and freshness.
Tomatoes are a great vegetable to eat for keeping the body in shape as they are high in GI and low in carbohydrates so can be used very effectively to shape your body up. Tomatoes have been used by Mediteranean cooks for centuries as a vegetable that forms the basis of many recipes and indeed as the main dish.
Gazpacho soup is one such recipe that uses fresh raw tomatoes, fresh from the garden, when they are plentiful in summer time.
