Ingredients
2 bananas, ripe, mashed
1/2 cup canola oil like crisco
2 large eggs
2 tbsp frozen orange/pineapp. conc.
1 3/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp orange peel
1 cooking spray
Directions
Adapted from The Joslin Diabetes Gourmet Cookbook, 1993 which used 1
large egg white plus 6 tbsp. egg substitute, 1/8 tsp almond extract,
orange juice concentrate, 2 cups unbleached flour and no orange peel.
Original nutritional info. 1/18 recipe = 1 bread, 1 fat Joslin
Exchanges 122 calories, 2 grams protein, 14 grams carbohydrate, 6
grams fat (44% of calories), trace cholesterol, 61 mg sodium, 105 mg
potassium.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with waxed paper
and spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine bananas, oil, beaten egg, juice concentrate
and orange peel. Stir dry ingredients together and then stir them
into banana mixture until just blended.
Spread the batter in the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the top
is lightly browned. Cool in a pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a
wire rack. Slice the first sample while the loaf is still warm.
Comment in the original recipe states that the well-wrapped loaf
keeps in the refrigerator and freezes well. Slice is smaller than a
slice of regular bread (about half size).
Tested with changes noted by Elizabeth Rodier, Jan 1994. To cut down
on cholesterol use 1 whole egg and 2 whites, or home made egg
substitute.
When comparing bread recipes, consider serving size as well as
calories. Does the serving taste good alone or would I add 1 tsp
margarine (1 fat)?
1 tb peanut butter would add 1 fat exchange + 1 meat or 95 calories, 3
grams carb. 4 grams protein, 8.2 grams fat, 98 mg sodium
1 tb regular strawberry jam made of equal parts fruit and sugar would
add 54 calories, 14 grams carbohydrate or 1 fruit exchange
Servings: 18

The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat many of the foods you love, like fatty meat and hard cheese. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into glucose, it is the carbohydrates which are burned primarily. If we take in less carbohydrates, we will deplete the fat we already carry and we will diet successfully. This is the bit that is contentious, not all nutritionalists concur and quite a few feel it might be bad for your health. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index weight loss regime is reliant on the gi index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the energy of the food gets transformed to glucose in your system. The claim is that long-acting food types (ie those food types with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help to take in less food without feeling hungry. It's also extremely useful for folk with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in reducing surges in blood glucose levels. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes carrots, kale and tomato ketchup) These colorful fruit and veg are rich in carotenes believed by many be a key nutrient in helping stop cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lungs. A good number are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. |
