General cooking tips

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.


Track down specials and buy in bulk. Buying in bulk means less trips, and can be a good way of reducing your food miles.


Diet types

A low calorie weight loss regime

In short, the low-cal diet says that if you plan to lose weight, then you have to take in less calories than you actually use.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. The calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If your meal contains more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when consumed.

Foods low in calories include brussels sprouts, red peppers, guava, steak and burger based meals, and skimmed milk.
