Diet hints and tips
In deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carbohydrate diet pointers:

* Use soya flour or soya baking mix.
When you require flour for baked goods, substitute it with soya flour or a bake mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. In most cases, you can adapt your best loved recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these low carb alternatives.
