Food tips

Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.


Try Eating Raw Food : You need a balance of three basic food groups as most of your diet:
  • sweet fruits (apples, oranges, berries, melons, etc.)
  • green leaves (dark lettuce, kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • raw plant fats (avocados, olives & their oil, coconuts & their oil, nuts & seeds, durian)
    • Eat lots of sweet fruit, lots of green leaves, and some fat (as dressing, pâté, hummus, etc.). Add vegetables as desired, and sprouted grains and legumes occasionally. Try fruit for breakfast and snacks; greens, veggies and fat for lunch and dinner.

    The Atkins’ Diet
    Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg bacon and butter.
    With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, weight loss program.
    With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour.
    On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

    The Atkins’ Diet Theory
    The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into carbohydrates, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we eat fewer carbs, we will utilise our stored fat and we will get rid of some fat. Although inviting, this theory is controversial, not all experts agree and some allege that it might be hazardous.
