Ingredients
WET INGREDIENTS
2 1/4 cup grated & drained zucchini
1/4 cup zucchini water
1/3 cup fruit sweetener
3/4 cup oil
3 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
DRY INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup walnuts
2 1/3 cup unbleached white flour
4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9" square pan 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, and put them aside. Grate
the zucchini using a medium grater. Place the grated zucchini in a sieve
over a bowl and use your hand to press out the extra liquid. This is the
Zucchini water. Measure our 1/4 cup and set aside. Sift the dry ingredients
together. Use an electric mixer on medium high speed to whisk the sweetener
and oil together until thickened. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating
well after each addition before adding the next. Reduce the speed to low
and stir in the vanilla and zucchini water. On the lowest speed, add the
sifted dry ingredients alternately with the grated zucchini and the toasted
walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place the pan on the middle
shelf of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. A toothpick
inserted in the center of the bread will come out clean when the bread is
done. Cool the bread in its pan on a wire rack, but don't cool it too much,
for Zucchini bread is great served hot from the oven. Store it well wrapped
in plastic at room temperature.

Diet Fruit Sweet And Sugar Free - Zucchini Bread Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows fat reduction whilst still eating many of the foods you love, for example bacon and hard cheese. With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the famous atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into glucose, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we reduce your consumption of carbohydrates, our bodies will burn up the fat we have stored and we will lose weight. Although inviting, this theory is contentious, not all researchers are in agreement and some even feel it can be dangerous. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston developed his system as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his detailed study of scientific studies on other weight loss regimes. Approved foods include, broiled ham, turkey breast, oysters, mozzarella cheese, pistachio nuts, eggs and certain vegetables, like butter beans, celery and mushrooms. |
