General tips

Oven Tips : Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25° and foods will cook just as quickly.

Buy Local Food : Begin by taking baby steps, such as committing to spend £10 pounds a week on locally grown foods.

Diet types

The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst still eating many of the foods you love, for example bacon and some dairy produce.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss program.
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.
With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The 'science' behind the atkins diet is that if we take in less carbs, we will use the fat we have stored and we will lose weight
