Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet tips:
* You can make delicious smoothies using reduced carb yogurt.
Admittedly, you can't really call it cooking, but if you must have smoothies you can throw them together with reduced carb yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you should ensure you use fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use the whole fruit as the fiber is beneficial.
* Fiber is essential
Decreasing the carbohydrates in your diet usually leads to fiber reduction as well. Check for reduced carbohydrate recipes that are rich in fiber to restore the balance.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes citrus fruits, red apples, garden pea and peppermint)
The compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these foods are thought by experts to have properties in preventing cancer.
Researchers researching the properties of flavonoids suspect that they could also have many other health giving capabilities, amongst them, antiviral and antiplatelet activities..
The majority of these are also low in calories, so should be a part of every diet.
