Cooking tips

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.


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.

Losing weight

Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg pork and butter.
On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, diet.
