Ingredients
FRUIT AND NUTS
3/4 cup pecans
1/2 cup date pieces
2 1/2 cup chopped peaches
WET INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup fruit sweetener
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp peach extract
1 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup oat bran
3/4 cup rolled oats
DRY INGREDIENTS
2 1/8 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup oat flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a regular
size muffin tin with lecithin spray. Toast the pecans
in the oven for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Allow the nuts to cool. Then coarsely chop them with a
knife or with a pulsing action in a food processor.
Coarsely chop the peaches. In a medium size bowl, mix
together the fruit sweetener, eggs, oil, vanilla,
peach extract and applesauce. Stir in the oat bran and
the rolled oats. Let this mixture sit for a minimum of
10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the
ingredients. Sift the dry ingredients into a large
bowl, stir in the pecans and the date pieces. Make a
well in the center of the dry ingredients, and stir in
the wet mix. When half mixed, stir in the chopped
peaches. Be careful not to over mix, the muffin batter
should be lumpy. Use a #12 (1/2 cup) scoop to place
the batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake the
muffins in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Let
the muffins cool in the muffin pans before removing
them. Be extra careful when handling these muffins
because they are very fragile when warm.

Weight loss dietsThe Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is reliant on the glycaemic index, a list showing food types and a score illustrating the ease that the carbohydrates of the food gets transformed to glucose in the dieters system. The believe is that long-acting types of food (ie those foods with a low Gi score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are missing out. It is also very useful for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI types of food are helpful in managing increases in blood glucose amount. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet is still widely used today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows fat reduction but still allows you to eat many of the foods you love, eg beef and egg and cheese. On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. 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. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the atkins diet is that even if our bodies use both fats and carbs to transform into glucose, it is the carbohydrates that are burned first. If we eat less carbohydrates, our bodies will use up our stored fat and we will lose weight. This theory is contentious, not all nutritionalists concur and some think it can be hazardous. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet isn’t specifically a fat reduction diet, but many 'zone dieters' believe that they manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a state of balance which is much more wholesome than it normally is, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that when your body is in this 'zone' it is much more efficient and, as a consequence, does not convert energy to unsightly fat. The most important method of the zone system is to control the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
