Cooking tips

Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.


Kitchen Tip : Even though they are like magnets for spills, keep stovetop reflectors clean. They will reflect heat better and save energy. If you need new ones, buy quality. The best on the market can save as much as 1/3 of the energy used with inferior reflectors.


Dieting tips

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of types of food and a score illustrating the ease that the glucose and energy in the food gets converted to glucose in your body. The claim is that slow acting foods (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic score), keep you satisfied for a longer period of time and mean that you can take in fewer food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also extremely useful for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI types of food are useful in managing increases in glucose amount.
