water chestnut salad. Julienne or slice celery and carrots before
lightly cooking. Toss with sliced water chestnuts and a fragrant
dressing of olive oil and cider vinegar blended with Dijon mustard.

and tarragon; bring to a boil. Add celery, carrots, red pepper and
onion; bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until
vegetables are crisp tender, 1012 minutes. Remove from heat; using a
slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl. Place the
saucepan over high heat; boil the liquid until it is reduced to l/2
cup; pour liquid over vegetables; cover and refrigerate 4 hours or

Food Tips of the Week

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 reduced carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make reduced carb breadcrumbs for deep fried foods. While you can sometimes buy reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can also make them by using low carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in your oven on a sheet of cookie paper. When it is well browned, grind it in your blender. Keep in an airtight jar.

* Understand the food labels Don't trust food packaging that proclaims 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the tin or packet. A good number of are only a little reduced and in some instances still more than a competitors normal brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are just the same.

Foods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, rose hip puree and tomato ketchup)
These colorful healthy superfoods contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed by doctors play a key role in cancer prevention, specifically those cancers involving the stomach and lesophagus. Many are low in calories, so are ideal for including in your diet.
