Cooking tips

Oven Tips : Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25° and foods will cook just as quickly.

Buy Local Food : As an ‘everything in moderation’ kind of guy, I’d find a strict local food diet fascinating but obsessive and intimidating, says Peter Marks, program coordinator for the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project in Asheville, N.C. He suggests a more gradual approach: Every week or month, replace one food in your diet that’s provided by a big, faraway company with a locally grown food.

Dieting 101

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet is reliant on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing food types and an indicator of the ease that the glucose of the food gets changed to sugar in your bloodstream. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satiated for longer and help to eat fewer food without starving yourself.
It's also extremely beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are beneficial in controlling increases in blood glucose secretion.
