General kitchen advice

Oven Tips : Cook with the oven door closed. A partially open door wastes energy, costs you money, and warms you instead of the food.

Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.

Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight reduction diet, although many followers believe that they seem to lose body weight by following this system.
The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a balanced state that is much more wholesome than normal, which is known as the zone.
Sears believes that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat.
The most important procedure of the system is to control the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6.
