Food and cooking tips

Buy Local Food : Take a child shopping with you, pick up one of the offending products and say quite loudly "Well we’re not buying that, think of the energy it’s used up just getting here!"


When you are travelling, you should have a quick think about where your food has come from. When/if it is locally produced, your food is likely to be tastier, better for the local economy and fresher.


Diet info

The low calorie diet

In a nutshell, the low-cal diet depends on the fact that if you are going to achieve weight loss, the important thing to injest less calories than your body requires.

So what is a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If your meal has higher calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when your body converts it.

Foods low in calories include watercress, green peppers, melon, meals containing beef, and white eggs.
