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 reduced carb diet tips:
* Fiber is crucial
Cutting the carbs in your meals often leads to fiber reduction also. Check for low carbohydrate recipes that are rich in fiber to restore the balance.
* Make reduced carb bread crumbs for breaded foods.
Although you can sometimes buy reduced carbohydrate breadcrumbs, you may make them yourself by simply using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the low carb bread in a gas or electric oven on a sheet of baking paper. When it is quite hard and crispy, grind it in your blender. Keep in an airtight jar or container.
Flavonoid superfoods
(inlcudes lettuce, kohlrabi, kidney bean & coriander)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' found in these foods are believed to be helpful in preventing cancer.
Nutritionalists studying the medical effects of flavonoids believe they could have numerous other health giving properties, including anti-allergic and antiplatelet capabilities.
The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.
