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 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.
Flavonoid rich foods
(inlcudes olive oil, spinach, adzuki bean & coriander)
The flavonoids which exist in these natural foods are thought by nutritionalists to have properties in preventing cancer.
Experts researching the medical effects of flavonoids believe they may well also have many health giving capabilities, including, but not limited to, anti-allergic and antiplatelet activities..
The majority of these are also low in calories, so are ideal for including in your diet.
