Cous-Cous Tabbouleh Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
250 grammes (about 1 cup)
1 cous-cous
2 beef tomatoes
1 small bunch spring onions
1 (scallions)
1 tin red kidney or other
1 beans
1 small tin sweetcorn
1/2 red sweet (bell) pepper,
1 chopped

1/2 tbsp olive oil (optional)
1 seasoning
Recipe Preparation
Soak the cous-cous in about double its volume of boiling water, until
all the water is absorbed. Peel and chop the tomatoes and onions,
and drain the sweetcorn and beans (you will probably want to rinse
the latter). Mix everything together, season and dress with lemon
juice, and possibly 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil for the flavour - it
makes so much salad that it really doesn't up the % CFF too much.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods. Although you can buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you can make them yourself by simply using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in your food mill. To store, keep in a tupperware jar or container.
* Know what is in your food Don't trust food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the package. A good number of are only slightly less and in some instances still greater than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
