Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Combine the sugar, cardamom,
salt, egg, milk and oil in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the yeast
mixture, flours, raisins and nuts. Mix well. Add enough extra flour
to make soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and
knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a round
loaf.
Put the dough into a lightly-oiled 8-inch-round cake pan. Cover with
a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk,
about 1 hour. Bake in a 350-degree oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until
brown.

Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it enables weight loss whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like pork and cheeses. With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition 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 continues to be 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 South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system invented by Miami, florida-area cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented this diet for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific studies completed on other weight loss systems. Examples of good foods include, broiled ham, chicken breast, fish and shellfish, low or fat free cheeses, peanut butter, eggs and some vegatables, such as asparagus, broccoli and spinach. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet initially created by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, but many 'zone dieters' discover that they really manage to lose a few pounds by following the zone diet. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if one can gain control of the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is far more wholesome than it normally is, known as the 'zone'. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is perfectly balanced and, because of this, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main method of the zone diet is to monitor and control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
