A few tips on healthy eating

In planning a diet, the important thing is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

Some reduced carb diet tips:


* Use low carbohydrate chocolate bars for cookies and muffins. If you have gone to the trouble of converting your most popular chocolate cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, it would be insane to put in those high carbohydrate chocolate chips. Break up a reduced carbohydrate bar of chocolate into little pieces and use that instead.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, white onions and spring onions)

The onion family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is insufficient hard medical proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss program.
