The Recipe Instructions
 

 

Ingredients

1 duckling (4 to 5 lbs), cleaned, trimmed
=== MARINADE ===
2 tbsp grated orange peel
2 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp minced garlic
4 whole star anise
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 tsp Splenda
= (or 3 packets sacharin, cyclamate
stevia)
2 tsp salt
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder


Directions

Place a steaming rack in a wok. Pour in water to just below the level in
the rack and bring it to a boil. Place the duck breast-side up on a
heatproof dish and set the dish on the rack. Cover and steam for 30
minutes. Let cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the marinade ingredients and rub
the marinade over the skin of the duck. Place the duck breast-side down on
a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan. Roast uncovered for 30 minutes.

Protecting your hands with several layers of paper towels, turn the duck
breast-side up. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees and roast until the skin is
brown and crisp and the meat near the thigh bone is no longer pink when
pierced, about 1 hour.

This recipe yields 6 servings; 3.5 carb grams per serving.

Tip: To prepare a whole duck for cooking Chinese style, cut off and
discard excess neck skin and the tail and remove all the loose fat from
around the cavity. With the tip of a small sharp knife, lightly prick the
skin around the legs and other fatty areas. Take care not to pierce the
meat under the fat layer.

Diet types


The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet plan started by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which emphasizes the consumption of "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Agatston developed this diet for people who have heart disease, based on his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other nutritional studies.
"good" foods include, canadian bacon, skinless poultry, oysters, mozzarella cheese, peanuts, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as artichokes, cauliflower and snow peas.


The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables fat reduction but still allows you to eat many of the foods you love, for example beef and cheeses.
On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition and weight loss 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.
On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.




The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the ease that the energy in the food type gets converted to glucose in your body. The claim is that slow release food types (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), will keep you feeling full for longer and help you to reduce your consumption of food without feeling hungry.
It's also especially beneficial for diabetics, as the low GI food types are beneficial in reducing increases in blood sugar amount.

"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
