1/4 cup whipped cottage cheese
2 tbsp low-fat cream cheese
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp any extract

almond)
12 egg substitutes
1/4 cup evaporated milk
Cooking spray, as needed
Directions

With an electric beater, whip together the cheeses, sugar, and extract.
Spread the mixture evenly into each bread pocket.
Beat together the eggs and milk. Dip the bread slices in the egg-milk
mixture. Turn to coat both sides.

toast on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Comments: Stuffed French toast with a creamy filling is good paired with a
fibrous fruit such as a 1/2 cup fresh raspberries. 6 slices challah or
French bread, cut 2 inches thick (if you can find whole-wheat, the better)
This French toast is high in sodium, primarily because of the cheeses.
For a lower-sodium dish, substitute no-salt cheeses if you can find them.

Carotenoid foods (includes cilantro, collard greens and tomato ketchup) These orange and green plants are rich in alpha and beta carotenes thought by many to play a major part in helping prevent cancer, specifically of the the lungs and stomach. A good number are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every diet system. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight loss but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, for example lamb and some dairy produce. With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, weight loss regime. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the famous atkins diet is that if we eat fewer carbohydrates, we will use up the fat we have stored and we will lose weight |
