Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne 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 carb diet guidlines:
* Don't miss meals Most low carb recipes are, well...., low in carbohydrates. Your body must have energy, and carbohydrates are a highly efficient source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires great care in monitoring you intake of energy, as any energy given by non-carbohydrate sources is slower acting.
* Know what is in your food Don't trust advertizing that boasts 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the product. A good number of are only slightly reduced and in some cases still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are the same.
