Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsAt the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Moreover, it has been suggested that the kidneys can become overworked and that the resultant change in acid levels in the blood causes bone loss, but some of the scientifc research testing the theory have struggled to find significant evidence of deterioration of the kidneys or bone damage.
The majority of the undesirable side-effects observed, such as feeling tired, diarrhea, constipation, or bad headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, leeks and spring onions)
