Cooking advice

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.


    Buy Organic Foods : There are 12 foods where buying organic makes even more sense than normal.
    According to the EWG (Environmental Working Group) the 12 most contaminated foods are:
    • apples
    • bell peppers
    • celery
    • cherries
    • imported grapes
    • nectarines
    • peaches
    • pears
    • potatoes
    • red raspberries
    • spinach
    • strawberries
    All tested positive for pesticide residue – even after having been washed! Sweet bell peppers were the vegetable with the most pesticides overall, with 39 pesticides detected on a single sample. Conversely, if you're going to buy conventional, peas, broccoli, onions, pineapples, mangoes, bananas, kiwi and papaya had the lowest occurrence of pesticide residue.

    The South Beach Diet
    The South Beach diet is a diet invented by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
    Agatston developed his dietary regime for people who have cardiac problems, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other weight loss studies.
    Good foods include, veal cutlets, skinless poultry, oysters, low or fat free cheeses, peanuts, eggs and some vegatables, like green beans, broccoli and water chestnuts.
