Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne 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 lower carb diet tips:
* Use soya flour or baking mix. When you need to use flour for baking, repalce it with soya flour or a bake mix such as Atkins soy baking mix. Most of the time, you can change your favorite recipes that use wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
* Use splenda instead of sugar. Most recipes that need sugar can be adapted to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It doesn't weigh the same so you will need to experiment a little and it might not work for every recipe, but it does bake up nice most of the time.
