General 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.


Oven Tips : Close the oven door gently - slamming forces out the hot air.


Weight loss

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and a score representing the speed with which the glucose and energy of the food gets changed to glucose in your system. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie those foods with a low Gi number), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can eat less food without being miserabl;e.
It's also extremely effective for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are helpful in minimizing surges in glucose secretion.
