Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Food labels can be misleading Be sceptical of advertizing that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the can or package. Many are only marginally reduced and in some instances still greater than a competitors standard brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are exactly the same.
Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes onion, brussels sprouts, soya beans & tea)
The large family of compounds known as flavonoids found in these food types are thought by experts to have properties in fighting cancer.
Doctors who have been studying the medical effects of flavonoids think that they might also have many other healthy benefits, including anti-candida and anti-inflammatory powers.
Most are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss program.
