Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.


Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).


Diet types

The low-cal diet

In short, the low calorie diet says that if you want to reduce weight, the most important step is to take in fewer calories than you burn up.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a meal contains more calories, then it will will give you more energy when your body converts it.

Low calorie foods include fresh green beans, carrots, guava, meals containing beef, and low-fat cheese.
