A microwave oven uses “dielectric heating” to cook food. (1) This is accomplished by using microwave radiation to heat polarized molecules within the food. This excitation is fairly uniform, leading to food being more evenly heated throughout (except in dense objects) than generally occurs in other cooking techniques. (2)....
If you eat three meals a day, you go through 93 meals plus 30-60 snacks a month (if not more). To be the healthiest version of yourself, you need to aim for 80 excellent meals that are high in nutrient dense veggies and low in refined carbs or sugar. You can’t expect to be healthy if you live on bread, cereals, pap, sugar and processed food. In order to avoid defaulting to these foods, it is essential to plan ahead....
Healthy eating is not a case of calories in versus calories out! It’s not about the amount of calories you eat but rather it’s the quality of the calorie that is important. We don’t believe in counting calories in general because 100 kcal of vegetable is not equal to a 100 kcal of sugar.

Broccoli, for example, is healthier when cooked because only then does it release its full spectrum of amino acids. While we all need to figure out what works and what doesn’t for us as individuals, the best solution is probably to mix it up and not to get polarised by one point of view. Rather opt for moderation....
FitChef is no longer certified Halaal. We suggest our vegetarian meal option or a 21 Day or 1 Month Vegetarian Challenge and adding your own Halaal meats....
Make this your new mantra: Don’t drink your calories! Avoid consuming unnecessary calories found in sodas, beers, wine and other beverages typically served at parties. A healthier option is to drink sparkling water with a dash of lemon and /or Angostura bitters....
While most people lose weight fairly quickly when they EatClean, some people do take longer. This can be very frustrating but weight loss is also connected to your emotional state, stress levels and sleep. Sometimes your body needs to heal for a while.
