General cooking tips

One of the best elements of travelling is sampling local delicacies, so please don't order a burger and chips when you are in India - not only is the meat likely to be of a poor quality (sometimes so poor that it will make you sick), but you are turning down some of the most wonderful food in the world - and possibly offending your hosts.

Buy Local Food : With local food you'll get exceptional taste and freshness, strengthen your local economy, support endangered family farms, safeguard your family's health, and protect the environment.

Diet types

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and an indicator of the ease that the energy of the food gets converted to sugar in your bloodstream. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help you to injest less food without craving snacks all the time.
It's also extremeley useful for diabetics, as the low GI types of food are useful in minimizing rises in glucose levels.
