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.

Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes onion, red apples, adzuki bean & peppermint)

The compounds known as flavonoids discovered in these fruit, vegetables and pulses are thought to have properties in helping to prevent cancer.
Specialists studying the effects of flavonoids believe that they may well have many other healthy properties, including, but not limited to, anti-asthma and anti-inflammatory powers.
Most also help you lose weight, so should be included in your diet.



Lycopene rich foods
(includes watermelon, red peppers and tomato)

The phytochemical lycopene is a naturally occurring coloring compound and part of the carotenid family. This chemical is the agent responsible for the deep red color of a good number of natural foods.

Usefully, unlike many other vitamins, this useful phytochemical does not become less effective if cooked but is in fact enhanced by going through the cooking process.

. Lycoprene's key theraputic value is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to be an asset in the fight to lower the risks of developing cancer.

It is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It's also believed to impede the growth of atherosclerosis.



The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index diet is based around the glycaemic index, a list showing foods and a score illustrating the speed with which the carbs in the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters bloodstream. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you feeling full longer and mean that you can eat less food without feeling you are always hungry.
It is also extremely effective for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in controlling rises in blood sugar secretion.

"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
