The Recipe Instructions
 

 

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup unsweetened coconut, flaked
1 cup unsugared dates, chopped
4 tsp orange peel, fresh grated
1 cup pecans, finely ground


Directions

Cream the butter, egg and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. In
a small bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture a little at a time, to the creamed mixture,
beating after each addition. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut,
dates, orange peel, and 1/2 cup of the pecans. Stir into the cookie
mixture. Divide the dough in half and form into two logs,
approximately 1.1/2 inches in diameter. Place the remaining 1/2 cup
of pecans on a piece of waxed paper. Roll the logs in the nuts. Wrap
each log in waxed paper and chill for 1 hour. To bake, slice the logs
into 1/8 inch rounds and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned.

Makes 5 dozen.

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) weight loss regime is based around the glycaemic index, a list of food types and a score representing the speed with which the carbohydrates of the food gets changed to sugar in the dieters system. The claim is that slow acting food types (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help to eat less food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also very good for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI foods are useful in controlling rises in blood glucose secretion.


A low calorie weight loss regime

In short, low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you want to achieve weight loss, it is important to eat less calories than you actually use.

What is a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. The calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. If your meal has more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when it is converted.

Low-cal foods include cauliflower, mushrooms, apricots, canadian bacon, and skimmed milk.


Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes olive oil, spinach, soya beans & basil)

The flavonoids found in these fruits and vegetables are believed to be good in preventing cancer.
Specialists researching the properties of flavonoids think they may also have numerous other benefits to our wellbeing, including, but not limited to, anti-allergic and antiplatelet capabilities.
Many are also low in calories, so should be included in your diet system.

"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
