into a burrito, and serve immediately, topped with additional salsa

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsAt the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Eating more animal-based products could lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which some authorities believe will increase the probability of heart disease.
Most of the negative side effects stated, such as feeling tired, constipation, diarrhea, or bad headaches seem to pass quickly, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Superfoods rich in flavonoids
(inlcudes lettuce, kohlrabi, soya and cayenne)
The flavonoids present in these fruits and vegetables are believed to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Specialists researching the medical effects of flavonoids believe they might also have many other benefits to our health, including anti-dermatitis and anti-inflammatory activities..
The majority of these are low in calories, so you should add them to your diet.
