Ingredients
NUTS
1 cup walnuts
WET INGREDIENTS
1 2/3 cup mashed bananas
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tbsp apple butter
1/2 cup oil
1/3 cup water or 2 eggs
1/2 cup fruit sweetener
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
DRY INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 cup brown rice flour
1 3/4 tsp baking soda
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a regular size muffin tin
with lecithin spray. Toast the walnuts in the oven for 7-10 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Allow the nuts to cool, then coarsely chop them with
a knife or with the pulsing action in a food processor. Whisk the wet
ingredients together in the order listed until well blended. Sift together
the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and stir
in the wet mix. When half mixed, stir in the toasted walnuts. Be careful
not to over mix, the batter should remain lumpy. Using a rounded #12 scoop
(1/2 cup) place the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Bake the muffins
on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the
muffin tin once if necessary to allow for even browning. Let the muffins
cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool
completely.

Weight loss dietsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan created by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which stresses that one should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his dietary regime for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed analysis of scientific research on other weight loss regimes. "good" foods include, broiled ham, turkey bacon, shellfish, ricotta cheese, almonds, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as black beans, cucumbers and spinach. The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although highly controversial, it allows weight loss whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, like beef and butter. On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often referred to as a low carb/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 like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The 'science' behind the popular atkins diet is that even if our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to burn into glucose and energy, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we cut down on carbs, we will utilize the fat we already carry and we will achieve weight loss. Although tempting, the atkins diet is contentious, not all doctors accept this as true and a few allege that it might be unsafe. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index nutrition and weight loss system is based around the gi (or glycaemic index), a list of food types and a score illustrating the speed with which the carbohydrates in the food gets transformed to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The claim is that slow release foods (ie those food types with a low Gi number), keep you satiated for longer and help to reduce your intake of food without being miserabl;e. It is also very beneficial for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI food types are beneficial in managing surges in blood sugar secretion. |
