Ingredients
FRUIT AND NUTS
1/2 cup walnuts
1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
DRY INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
WET INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup fruit sweetener
1/2 cup oil
1/4 tsp grated orange zest
2 eggs
3 tbsp unsweetened orange juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray two loaf pans with lecithin
spray. Toast the walnuts in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Allow the nuts to cool. Then coarsely chop them with a knife
or using a pulsing action in a food processor, and put them aside. Wash and
sort the cranberries, coarsely chop them with a knife or with the pulsing
action in a food processor and put them aside. Sift the dry ingredients
together. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to whisk together the
sweetener, oil, and orange zest, until thickened, about five minutes. Add
the eggs, one at a time beating well after each addition. Reduce speed and
stir in the orange juice, vanilla and mashed bananas. On low speed, slowly
add the sifted dry ingredients, walnuts, and cranberries. Mix just until
blended, being careful not to over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared
loaf pans. Bake the loaves on the middle shelf in the preheated oven for
50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes
out clean. Cool the loaves slightly before removing them from the pans and
cooling them on a wire rack. Wrap the cooled loaves in plastic wrap and let
them sit for a few hours to overnight at room temperature before slicing.

Super foods containing lycopene (includes melon, red bell peppers and tomato sauce) The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic chemical compound and one of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the agent responsible for the red colour of quite a few fruit, vegetables and pulses. Usefully, unlike numerous other nutritional compounds, lycopene does not become less effective if heated during cooking, but is genuinely increased in efficacy by being heated. . Its most important medical value is that it is an antioxidant and appears to help to lower the risks of cancer. It is the most efficacious remover of singlet oxygen, which is connected with skin aging. It's also thought by nutritionalists to hamper the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, chives and spring onions) The alliaceae range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is not enough, definitive proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by many experts to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, sterilization and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so should be a part of every weight loss regime. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example fatty meat and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, weight loss program. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into carbs, it is the carbs which are burned primarily. If we consume fewer carbs, we will utilize the fat we have stored and we will become thinner. This is the bit that is controversial, not all specialists accept this as true and some allege that it might be dangerous. |
