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 lower carbohydrate diet tips:
* Use soy flour or bake mix.
When you require flour for baking, repalce it with soya flour or a bake mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. In many cases, you can change your best loved recipes that use wheat flour to use these alternatives.
Cruciferous vegetables, Wonderfoods that aid Weight loss
(examples: Cauliflower, Broccoli, Tatsoi and Chinese cabbage)
Vegetablesi in the brassica family are packed with vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (including potassium and selenium), isothiocyanates, antioxidents and indole-3-carbinol.
