Food Tips of the Week

Losing weight

Recognise 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.
Some low carb diet tips:


* Use soya flour or soy baking mix. When you require flour for baked goods, repalce it with soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins bake mix. In most cases, you may change your favorite recipes that use standard wheat flour to use these lowcarb alternatives.

Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes garlic, spinach, adzuki bean & tea)

The nutrients called 'flavonoids' present in these food types are thought by nutritionalists to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Researchers researching the effects of flavonoids think they might also have numerous other healthy properties, amongst them, anti-dermatitis and antiplatelet capabilities.
The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet system.
