General kitchen advice

Buy Seasonal Food : If you're eating foods out of season, it's likely that they have come a long way - try to eat food that is both locally produced and can be found at that time of year, locally!

Try Eating Raw Food : Your body needs time to adjust and clean itself. Start including more fresh fruit, green salad, and green juice in your meals. Cut back on meat, dairy products, and cooked starchy foods. Try eating all raw one day per week, then two days. Or eat only two cooked foods per meal, then only one. You'll feel the difference.

Dieting tips

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet system primarily created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a weight loss diet, but many people claim that they lose body weight by following it.
The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state which is far more healthy than normal, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not build up fat.
The most interesting technique of the zone diet is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.
