In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Use soya flour or baking mix. When you require flour for baked goods, substitute it with soya flour or a soy baking mix like Atkins soy baking mix. In most situtations, you may change your best loved recipes that use white flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
* Make great smoothies using low carb yogurt. Yes, you can't really call it cooking, but if you are missing your smoothies you can make them with low carb yogurt and your favorite fruit. Obviously, you should make sure you use only fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use the whole fruit as the fiber will help.
