Recipe Preparation
* (use white if you prefer, but since it doesn't take as long to
cook, you may want to cook the vegetables a bit before adding the
rice.)
Put rice and liquid in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add
curry, pepper flakes, carrots, celery, leek, kale and mushrooms.
Return to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or
until most of the liquid is absorbed. Add meat and peas, and cook
another 5 minutes. Serve. This served 2 very (!) hungry adults. You
could probably stretch it to 3 by adding a bit more rice and liquid

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Know what is in your food Be sceptical of the food label that claims 'low carb' - check the nutritional information figures on the rear of the can or package. Many are only slightly reduced and in some cases still greater than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical.
* Dietary fiber is important Cutting the carbs in your meals usually leads to reduction in fiber also. Look at low carbohydrate recipes that are high in fiber to redress this.

Over and above their most other beneficial effects, the minerals and nutrients in these are thought to significantly lower the risk of getting cancer.
