General tips
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!
Buying an Oven : If you need to purchase a gas oven or range, look for one with an automatic, electric ignition system. An electric ignition saves gas-because a pilot light is not burning continuously.

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss program is reliant on the glycaemic index, a chart showing types of food and a score representing the ease that the carbs in the food gets changed to glucose in your system. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and help you to take in fewer food without being miserabl;e.
It's also extremely beneficial for people with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in minimizing increases in glucose levels.
