Cranberry Punch Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb cranberries
1 water as needed
6 oz can frozen orange juice conc
2 tbsp granul. artificial sweetener
Recipe Preparation
Wash cranberries, removing stems and soft berries. Cook according to
package instructions until berries are soft.
My Note: 2 Tbsp. regular sugar would add 96 calories and 24.8 gm
carbohydrate to the total recipe (6 calories, 1.55 gm carbohyrate per
serving.) Add while cranberries are cooking if desired and omit
sweetener.
Chop berries in blender or put through food mill. Add 2 cups water.
Strain through cheesecloth or several thicknesses of nylon net.
Add orange juice concentrate and sweetener (if using). Dilute with
enough water to make 8 cups. (6 cups printed in the book would not
make 16 servings.)
1/2 cup serving - 32 calories made with sweetener, 1/2 fruit exchange
.4 gm protein, 0.1 gm fat, 7.9 gm carbohydrate, .4 mg sodium, 105.8
mg potassium.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Eat regular meals Most low carb recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbohydrates. Your body needs energy, and carbs are a highly efficient source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires more care in monitoring you energy intake, as the energy provided by fat or protein is less efficient.
* Food labels can be misleading Watch out for food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the package. Many are only a little decreased and in some instances still greater than a competitors usual brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are the same.
