Diet Bananas & Pancakes Recipe

The Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

1 large or 1-2 small bananas per
1 person
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp calvados, grand marnier or
1 cointreau
5 fl oz orange juice
2 tbsp molasses sugar
1 egg
4 oz flour
10 fl oz lager beer

Directions

Make pancakes with lager, flour and egg, and cook in the normal way
(I used a cooking spray to grease a non-stick frying pan). Fold each
pancake in half, and then in half again, so it forms a quarter-circle
(if you're as bad at cooking pancakes as I am, they'll come out in
bits anyway - if so, pretend it didn't happen!), and place them in a
large flan dish.

Peel bananas, cut in half long-ways and in half again cross-ways, and
place face-down on top of the pancakes. Put the remaining ingredients
into a frying pan or small saucepan, and boil for 3-4 minutes, until
just beginning to be syrupy. Pour over bananas and pancakes, and
bake in a moderate oven (Mark 4 - 350 F) for 20-30 minutes.

I served this with fromage frais (cream substitute) and a chocolate
sauce, for which the recipe follows:

Weight loss diets The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system primarily created by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not specifically a weight reduction diet, however some people discover that they actually manage to lose weight when following it. The theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the secretion of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which, as a result puts the body in a balanced state that is more healthy than other diets, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, does not need to build up stores of fat. The most important procedure of the system is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system started by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which stresses the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his nutritional system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific studies on other weight loss regimes. "good" foods include, canadian bacon, skinless poultry, prawns, ricotta cheese, pecan halves, lowfat or nonfat milk and certain vegetables, such as artichokes, cucumbers and sprouts.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
