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.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make low carbohydrate bread crumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Although you can possibly buy low carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carb bread in your oven on a baking tray. Once it is hard, grind it up in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware container.
* Don't skip meals
Most reduced carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body must have energy, and carbs are a fast acting energy source. A reduced carbohydrate diet needs more care in managing your energy intake, as any energy given by protein and fat is much slower acting.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes lettuce, fennel, lima bean & chamomile)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' which exist in these foods are thought by experts to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Nutritionalists looking into the effects of flavonoids believe they may well also have numerous healthy benefits, amongst them, antiviral and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
A good number also help you lose weight, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
