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 low carb diet guidlines:
* Food labels can be misleading
Be sceptical of food labeling that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the reverse of the tin or package. Many are only slightly less and in some cases still more than a competitors usual brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are exactly the same.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, white onions and spring onions)
The onion and garlic family of foods is high in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is precious little scientific proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought by many experts to help with blood circulation, sterilization and physical exhaustion.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
