Food tips

Oven Tips : Check the seal on your oven door for wear. Even a small tear or gap can allow heat to wander away from your meal. A clean seal also provides better heat retention.

Kitchen Tip : Use a covered kettle or pan to boil water; it's faster and it uses less energy.

Losing weight

The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like lamb and hard cheeses.
With this diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, weight loss program.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The 'science' behind the popular atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to transform into energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned initially. If we consume fewer carbs, our bodies will utilise the fat we already carry and we will diet successfully. Although inviting, this theory is divisive, not all medical experts are in agreement and a good number of hold that it is often hazardous.
