Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightIn deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Use soy flour or bake mix. When you require flour for baking, repalce it with soya flour or a baking mix like Atkins baking mix. In most situtations, you may adapt your favorite recipes that use conventional wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, collard greens and tomato puree)
These orange and green natural foods are rich in carotenes believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program.
