Are fresh vegies better then frozen?



No, fresh vegetables are unlikely to be as nutritious as frozen vegetables. Most vegetables today are picked, cleaned and prepared right in the field and frozen within a few hours. They maintain a nutritional content that is as high, and sometimes higher, than produce that you purchase fresh in the stores. After a week at the bottom of the refrigerator, fresh vegetables lose more than just their taste. So buy both. Use your fresh veggies first and your frozen variety at the end of the week. Just make sure that you purchase plain frozen products without added creams and sauces.


Whats the difference between low fat plain yoghurt and non fat Greek yoghurt?



The processing of the two yogurts is different. Milk contains two proteins: casein and whey. When making yogurt, the casein stays more solid, the whey more liquid. Low-fat plain yogurt contains both, and so is a “loose” solid. Greek-style yogurt is thicker and more solid because it is strained and the liquid whey protein is removed as part of the processing, giving it a richer and creamier texture. Nutritionally, Greek-style yogurt is higher in protein and lower in lactose than regular low-fat plain yogurt.
