Food Tips of the Week
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carb bread crumbs for breaded foods.
Although you can probably buy low carb bread crumbs, you may also make them by simply using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the low carb bread in a pre-heated oven on a cookie sheet. When it is quite hard and crispy, whizz it in your blender. Store in a tupperware container.
* You can create really nice smoothies by using low carb yogurt.
Ok, well, it is not really cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make perfectly acceptable alternatives by using reduced carb yogurt and your favorite fruit. Obviously, you should make sure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbs and the whole fruit as the fiber will help.
* Fiber is essential
Decreasing the carbohydrates in your meals usually leads to fiber reduction as well. Check for reduced carb recipes that are high in fiber to redress this.
Losing weight
Rather than thinking about which food types you really should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If you manage to inject some nourishing grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased risk of giving in to those damaging midday snacks.
