Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsIn planning a meal plan, the important thing is to try to cut down your ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some lower carb diet guidlines:
* Eat regular meals Most reduced carb recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbs. We all need energy, and carbs are a quick acting energy source. A low carb diet requires great care in controlling your energy levels, as any energy contributed by non-carbohydrate sources is slower acting.
* Use reduced carb chocolate bars for cookies and muffins. Once you have converted your favorite chocolate cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soy flour, you dont want to mix in those high carbohydrate full-sugar chocolate. Cut up a reduced carb bar of chocolate into little pieces and use that in its place.
