Some reduced carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried foods. Although you can buy reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you can also make them by using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is quite hard and crispy, whizz it in your food mill. Keep in a tupperware container.
* Understand the food labels Be sceptical of advertizing that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the rear of the can or packet. Some are only marginally decreased and in some instances still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are exactly the same.
* Don't skip meals Most low carbohydrate recipes are, well...., low in carbs. Your body requires energy, and carbs are a very efficient source of energy. A lower carb diet requires extreme care in managing your energy levels, as any energy provided by protein and fat is slower acting.
