combine lemon juice with squeezed lemon half, sugar and water in
saucepan. Bring to boil and simmer 2 to 3 minutes until sugar is
dissolved. Add 2 teaspoons oil and soy sauce. Remove from heat and
set aside. Split chicken in halves down back and cut into serving
pieces. Reassemble on serving platter and garnish with triangles of
lemon peel which have been cut with serrated knife, if desired. Bring
reserved lemon sauce to boil again. Mix cornstarch with small amount
of cold water to make paste and stir into lemon sauce. Cook,
stirring, until thickened slightly. Spoon over chicken pieces.

Food Tips of the Week
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.
The case against low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one point that is usually overlooked, it is very hard (although certainly not impossible) for vegetarians to follow a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Eliminating carbs might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those obtained from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Lycopene rich foods
(includes grapefruit, red bell peppers and baby jackfruit)
Lycopene is a naturally occurring coloring agent and part of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the deep red colour of a good number of natural foods.
Usefully, unlike numerous vitamins, lycopene is not damaged during the cooking process, but is observably made more effective by going through the cooking process.
.
Its most valuable advantage is that it serves as an antioxidant and appears to be of use in the battle to reduce the probabilty of contracting cancer.
