                                    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.
                                    
                                    
                                      Some low carb diet tips: 
                                      * Don't forget the fiber Cutting the carbs in your meals usually leads to fiber reduction as well. Check for low carb recipes that are rich in fiber to restore the balance. 
                                       
                                      * Understand the food labels Be sceptical of the food label that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the reverse of the can or packet. A good number of are only a little reduced and in some instances still higher than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical. 
                                       
                                     
                                    
                                      Foods containing lycopene 
                                      (includes apricot, papaya & tomatoes) 
                                       
                                      The chemical lypcopene is a simple coloring compound and member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is the agent responsible for the dark red colour of many foods. 
                                       
                                      Unlike most other vitamins, lycopene does not become less effective if cooked but is in actuality improved by going through the cooking process. 
                                       
                                      . Lycoprene's main medical value is that it behaves as an antioxidant and is thought to be of use in the fight to reduce the probabilty of contracting cancer. 
                                       
                                      This useful phytochemical is the most powerful carotenoid quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It's also thought by many researchers to hamper the progression of atherosclerosis.
