General tips

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.


A local veg box shared between friends is a few quid a week, and the perfect way to slash your food miles while eating good food. So if you're self-catering at university why not try a doorstep delivery from one of the many veg box scheme providers?


Diet types

The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and a score representing the ease with which the carbohydrates in the food gets changed to glucose in your body. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Gi score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to consume less food without being miserabl;e.
It is also very good for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing increases in blood glucose amount.
