                                       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.
                                    
                                    
                                      The case against reduced carb diets 
                                      Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you? 
                                      Whilst there is anecdotal evidence that suggests that reduced carb diets can help achieve weight loss, some of this considerable evidence has resulted in much debate between nutritionalists, and their safety has been challenged 
                                      Eating more animal-based products may lead into high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which many authorities believe will increase the chance of heart conditions. 
                                     
                                    
                                      Superfoods containing carotenes 
                                      (includes cilantro, mangos and tomato ketchup) 
                                      These plants contain alpha and beta carotenes thought by experts to help in helping prevent cancer, particularly of the lung, esophagus and stomach. The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
