General tips

Oven Tips : Switch your oven off a few minutes before your food is ready - it will stay hot enough to finish cooking the food.


Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).


Losing weight

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet primarily invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a fat reduction diet, however many followers believe that they actually lose a few pounds by following it.
The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you were to control the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids which, in turn puts your body in a balanced state that is an awful lot more healthy than usual, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'.
Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't build up layers of fat.
The most valuable technique of the diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.
