Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some low carb diet tips:
* Know what is in your food
Be sceptical of food packaging that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the reverse of the can or package. Some are only a little decreased and in some instances still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are just the same.
Foods high in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, kale, kidney bean and chamomile)
