Food tips

Oven Tips : Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25° and foods will cook just as quickly.

Making your own lunch instead of buying from a sandwich shop saves on packaging, and could also save you approx £4 a day or £1,000 per year!

Weight loss

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t distinctly a weight loss diet, nevertheless many followers claim that they lose weight when following it.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one were to gain control of the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a result puts the body in a state of balance which is far more wholesome than it normally is, known as the 'zone'.
Sears claims that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't need to build up stores of fat.
The key process of the zone diet is to maintain the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.
