Food Tips of the Week
Some lower carb diet guidlines:
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Many recipes that use sugar can be modified to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It doesn't weigh the same so you will need to expirement with it and it may not work for every recipe, but it gives pretty good results in most cases.
* Know what is in your food Watch out for advertizing that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the reverse of the can or packet. Some are only a little less and in some cases still more than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are exactly the same.
Losing weightRecognise the difference between hunger and thirst. At times when going through a hectic day, you imagine you feel hunger but if truth be told you just need a restorative tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.
