1 cup cold skim milk
6 each egg whites
1/2 tsp lite salt or less or none
2 cup sifted flour
2 tbsp canola oil
Directions
Put liquids, egg whites and salt into a blender jar; add flour then oil.
Blend at top speed, scrapimg any flour adhering to the sides of the jar.
Cover, refrigerate 2 hours. This is an important step-it allows the flour
particles to expand in the liquid and insures a tender, thin crepe. The
batter should be a very light creamy texture-just thick enough to coat a
wooden spoon. For each crepe, heat 6" nonstick fry pan over moderatly high
heat. When hot, pour a scant 1/4 cup of the batter into the
skillet;immediatly rotate the pan until batter covers bottom. Cook until
light brown; turn and brown on the other side. Slide onto warm plate and
proceed in same manner with rest of batter. Put waxed paper between crepes.
Keep covered, as they cool, to prevent them from drying out. The crepes are
now ready to be filled. Makes 20 crepes, 6" each. SERVING, STORING,

Diet typesThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that one should consume "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific research completed on other weight loss systems. "good" foods include, veal cutlets, turkey bacon, shellfish, feta cheese, pecan halves, eggs and some vegatables, such as asparagus, cucumbers and turnips. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weight loss system first suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not exactly a weight reduction diet, nevertheless many followers discover that they manage to lose weight when following it. The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can limit the amount of two key hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a result puts your body in a state of balance which is far more healthy than it normally is, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't need to build up stores of fat. The key process of the zone diet is to keep tight control over the ratio of carbs to proteins, and to make sure your diet has large amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example pork and butter. With the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. 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, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. |
