General tips

Buy Local Food : The most local food of all comes from your own garden. Plant a new garden, enlarge the one you already have, or extend your growing season by using row covers and cloches.


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.

Low calorie diet

In simple terms, low calorie diet depends on the fact that in order to lose weight, it is important to take in less calories than you actually use.

Definition of a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A 'calorie' is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a meal contains more calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body burns it.

Low-cal food types include brussels sprouts, bell pepper, melon, steak and burger based meals, and low-fat cheese.
