General kitchen advice

Buy Organic Foods : There are 12 foods where buying organic makes even more sense than normal.
According to the EWG (Environmental Working Group) the 12 most contaminated foods are:
  • apples
  • bell peppers
  • celery
  • cherries
  • imported grapes
  • nectarines
  • peaches
  • pears
  • potatoes
  • red raspberries
  • spinach
  • strawberries
All tested positive for pesticide residue – even after having been washed! Sweet bell peppers were the vegetable with the most pesticides overall, with 39 pesticides detected on a single sample. Conversely, if you're going to buy conventional, peas, broccoli, onions, pineapples, mangoes, bananas, kiwi and papaya had the lowest occurrence of pesticide residue.


Have a Local Food Party : Instead of counting time or distance, simply enjoy the pleasures of local food by organizing a potluck meal in which everything must be local. Keep your fingers crossed that someone will splurge on handmade goat cheese, and don’t forget some local wine, beer or juice. If you’re organizing a big catered event, the Society for Nutrition Education has a downloadable brochure to help you line up local food resources.


Diet types

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime first detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not expressly a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' discover that they reduce body weight by following this system.
The main theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts your body in a state of equilibrium which is more healthful than it normally is, this is referred to as 'the zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat.
The most interesting process of the system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 fish oils.
