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.


Kitchen Tip : Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air or found by the pan handle! A 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner will waste over 40 percent of the energy.


Weight loss info

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 specifically a fat reduction diet, however many people claim that they really lose body weight when following it.
The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if one were to control the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a balanced state that is much more healthy than it normally is, which is known as the zone.
Sears alleges that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't build up fat.
The most important method of the system is to monitor and control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has large amounts of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils.
