Directions

One serving has 220 calories and 8g fat Preparation Time 10 minutes
and 30-40 minutes cooking

Chicken has always been looked on as a low-fat meat and when it has
been skinned even more of the fat disappears. With the lemon and
artichokes this is a casserole for summer-time eating. The butter
beans thicken the sauce and add fibre.

Preparation: skin the chicken joints, peel and chop the onions, drain
the artichoke hearts.

Flash the chicken joints under a hot grill until sealed on both sides.
Soften the onion in the oil in a flameproof casserole and add the
chicken joints. Add the lemon rind and juice to the casserole with
the butter beans and the liquid from the can. Cover and simmer for
20-30 minutes turning occasionally. Add the artichokes and cook for
another 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Weight loss systems The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, for example meat and hard cheeses. With this diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/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. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system initially created by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, although many zone diet followers discover that they seem to lose body weight by following the zone diet. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you limit the secretion of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts the body in a balanced state that is far more healthful than normal, this is referred to as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is much more efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up fat. The key procedure of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to make sure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.

"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"
