Ingredients
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup date sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch cloves
1 pinch nutmeg
1 apple, peeled, cored, - sliced a
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt first 2 ingredients together in a 9"-square cake pan by putting
the pan with the ingredients into the oven as it is preheating.
While the ingredients are melting, mix the next 4 ingredients
together and then mix them into the melted butter and honey. Lay
apple slices in the syrup to completely cover the bottom of the cake
pan in an attractive way. (You may need more than one apple if you
use a small one.)
Fill a 1-cup measuring cup with pitted dates, but don't pack the
dates into the cup. With the dates in the cup, fill the cup with
water, then pour both dates and water into a blender. Add 1/2 cup
more water into the blender. Now blend till it forms a smooth, thick
paste. Add the 1/4 cup butter or margarine and blend till totally
whipped in. Put the blender mixture into a mixing bowl and add the
last 5 dry ingredients. Mix just long enough to thoroughly blend in
all the dry ingredients. Pour this batter on top of apple slices and
spread evenly in the cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40
minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes
out clean. When done, remove from oven and immediately turn the cake
pan upside down to empty out onto a serving platter.

It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weightloss system. 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 continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his weight loss regime as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his analysis of scientific data on other diets.
