Food Tips of the Week
Diet hints and tipsIn deciding on a diet, it is essential to attempt to lower your consumption of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
The argument against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Although there is some evidence that indicates that low carbohydrate diets can help elimate surplus fat, some of this evidence has resulted in many arguments between nutrition experts, and their safety has been the cause of great debate
Eliminating carbs may mean missing out on required nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any sensible diet, particularly those obtained from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Healthy foods with carotenes
(includes carrots, collard greens and winter squash)
These orange and green vegetables and fruits have high levels of the carotenoids believed play a key role in cancer prevention, spefically cancer of the esophagus. Many are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss program.
