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 guidlines:
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda.
Many recipes that need sugar can be adapted to make use of a sugar replacement like splenda. It is not exactly the same so you will need to expirement with it and it might not work for everything, but it does bake up nice in most cases.
