The Recipe Instructions
 

 

Ingredients

1 cup wild rice
4 cup water
Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste


Directions

Rinse the wild rice in several changes of water until the water runs clear.
Wild rice is a grass, so there is often a small amount of debris in the
rice.

Bring the water to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan. Slowly add the rice and
bring to another boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer about 45 minutes
to 1 hour until rice has absorbed the water.

This recipe yields 6 servings. Serving size: 1/2 cup.

Exchanges Per Serving: 1 Starch.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, white onions and green onion)

The alliaceae family is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is little scientific evidence at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with antiinflammatory effect, sterilization and diabetes.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so make sure you add them to your diet system.



Low calorie diet

Rather obviously, a low calorie weight loss regime depends on the fact that if you intend to lose weight, it is important to consume less calories than your body requires.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A 'calorie' is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. If something contains more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when your body burns it.

Low calorie foods include broccoli, carrots, apricots, low fat ham, and eggs.

"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
