Food and cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Your body needs time to adjust and clean itself. Start including more fresh fruit, green salad, and green juice in your meals. Cut back on meat, dairy products, and cooked starchy foods. Try eating all raw one day per week, then two days. Or eat only two cooked foods per meal, then only one. You'll feel the difference.

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

Losing weight

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight loss diet, although some people believe that they manage to lose body weight by following it.
The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is much more healthy than usual, known as the 'zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat.
The main procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 3/4 c Sifted cake flour

1/2 c Cocoa powder (not a mix)

1 ts Baking soda

1/2 ts Salt

1/2 c (1 stk) unsalted butter

1 1/4 c Granulated sugar

1 1/2 ts Vanilla

2 lg Eggs

1 c Boiling water

FROSTING: 1/4 c (1/2 stk) unsalted butter

2 c Unsifted confectioners'

-(10X) sugar 2 Squares (1 oz each)

-unsweetened chocolate, -melted 1 1/2 ts Vanilla

2 tb Half-and-half, milk or

-evaporated milk CAKE: PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350F. Grease two 8-inch layer cake pans well, then dust then generously with cocoa. (This gives the cake layers a rich brown finish). Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt onto a piece of waxed paper and set it aside. Cream the butter until it is fluffy, add the sugar and vanilla, and continue beating until the batter is silvery and light. Beat the eggs in one by one, then add the sifted dry ingredients, alternately with the boiling water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and beating well after each addition. Divide the batter equally between the two pans, smoothing the tops. Bake the layers uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the layers feel spongy to the touch and begin to pull away from the sides of the pans. Cool the layers upright in their pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then carefully loosen them around the edges with a spatula and turn them onto wire racks. Cool them completely. FOR THE FROSTING: Cream the butter until it is light, then add the confectioners' sugar gradually, beating all the while. Beat in the melted chocolate and vanilla, then add just enough cream to make the frosting a good consistency for spreading. Sandwich the two cake layers together with frosting, then frost the top and sides of the cake. Swirl the frosting into peaks and valleys. Makes about 8 servings.
