Food and cooking tips

Time for cooking is often in short supply, but you can cut cooking time in half by making large batches and eating the leftovers another day. In an age when the average American spends only 32 minutes a day preparing food, strategy is crucial to increasing your consumption of local food.


Buy Local Food : Check out farmers markets, roadside farm stands and tailgate markets (where parking lots are temporarily transformed into areas of commerce), and don’t be afraid to ask questions about where the food is grown.


Weight loss

Low calorie diet

In simple terms, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you are going to reduce weight, then you have to injest less calories than your body normally needs.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If something has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body burns it.

Low calorie foods include watercress, bell pepper, watermelon, meals containing beef, and white eggs.
