General cooking tips

Try Organic Food : Organically-grown food costs more, but you get what you pay for. It is 2-10 times richer in minerals, contains no pesticides, and tastes better. It is better for you, your planet, and your palate. Wild unhybridized food is what your body was designed for, before our ancestors started messing with Mother Nature. Take it easy with highly hybridized fruits (bananas, seedless anything) and vegetables (carrots, beets, white potatoes).


Kitchen Tip : On electric stovetops, use flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan may be a conversation piece, but will waste most of the heat.


Diet types

A low calorie weight loss regime

In a nutshell, the low-cal diet states that if you want to become thinner, then you have to eat fewer calories than you need.

The calorie defined?
A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a food contains more calories, then it will gives you a larger amount of energy when it is eaten.

Low calorie food types include boiled potatoes, red peppers, melon, steaks and burgers, and low-fat cheese.
