A few tips on healthy eatingIn planning a diet, the important thing is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
Some reduced carb diet guidlines:
* Use soy flour or baking mix. When you need to use flour for baked goods, substitute soy flour or a baking mix such as Atkins bake mix. In most cases, you may convert your most popular recipes that use conventional wheat flour to use these lowcarb alternatives.
* Eat regular meals Most reduced carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body must have energy, and carbohydrates are a fast acting energy source. A reduced carbohydrate diet needs great care in monitoring you energy levels, as the energy provided by non-carbohydrate sources is far slower to act.
