Food and cooking tips

Try Eating Raw Food : Your body needs time to adjust and clean itself. Start including more fresh fruit, green salad, and green juice in your meals. Cut back on meat, dairy products, and cooked starchy foods. Try eating all raw one day per week, then two days. Or eat only two cooked foods per meal, then only one. You'll feel the difference.


Buy Local Food : Begin by taking baby steps, such as committing to spend £10 pounds a week on locally grown foods.


Losing weight

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss regime initially advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t exactly a weight loss diet, although some people believe that they manage to lose body weight by following it.
The science claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is much more healthy than usual, known as the 'zone'.
Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is much more efficient and, because of this, does not build up layers of fat.
The main procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to dose yourself with increased levels of Omega 3 and omega 6.
