Food and cooking tips

Track down specials and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk means less trips, and can be a good way of reducing your food miles.

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).

Weight loss info

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program initially invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a weight reduction diet, however many zone diet followers believe that they seem to lose weight by following this system.
The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to limit the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts one's body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more wholesome than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, because of this, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most interesting method of the zone system is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
