General cooking tips
Oven Tips : Check the seal on your oven door for wear. Even a small tear or gap can allow heat to wander away from your meal. A clean seal also provides better heat retention.
Kitchen Tip : Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air or found by the pan handle! A 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner will waste over 40 percent of the energy.

Now nearly 5 decades old, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing many of the foods you love, for example beef and egg and cheese.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, diet.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry.
You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.
