Preparation
CAKE:
PREPARATION: For The Cake, coat a 3-quart bundt or tube pan with 1
tablespoon of the butter and dust pan with 1 tablespoon of the flour.
Separate the eggs and set aside. Grate 2 teaspoons lemon zest and
squeeze 1/3 cup lemon juice. Beat remaining butter and the sugar in
a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, one
at a time. Beat in lemon zest, lemon juice and yogurt. Sift remaining
flour with baking powder, bakinG soda and salt. Turn mixer to low
and beat in dry ingredients until just incorporated. Turn mixer to
medium, beat for 2 minutes. With clean beaters, whip whites to firm
peaks and fold into batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.
COOKING: Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to
350F. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake
comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 10
minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Can wrap
and store at room temperature overnight, or freeze for up to 1 month.)
ASSEMBLY: For The Glaze, sift confectioners' sugar into a medium
bowl or large measuring cup. Squeze in 1 tablespoon lemon juice and
stir in yogurt until galze is smooth. With cake on a wire rack set
over a pan to catch drippings, pour glaze over the cake, allowing it
to drip down the sides. Let cake stand at room temperature until
glaze sets, about 10 minutes. (Can cover and store at room
temperature for up to 2 days.)
Makes 12 servings.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make low carb breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods.
While you can sometimes buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by using reduced carbohydrate bread. Simply toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in the oven on a sheet of cookie paper. When it is well browned, grind it in your blender. Store in an airtight jar or container.
Foods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes citrus fruits, apples, soya and tea)

Experts looking into the effects of flavonoids believe that they may well have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-candida and antioxidant activities..
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
