1 package (or 1 tablespoon) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp salt

Keywords: Ovo-Lacto

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.

Weight loss systems


The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system first detailed by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not particularly a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many people discover that they really reduce weight by following this system.
The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you control the levels of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which puts your body in a state of equilibrium that is far more wholesome than other diets, which is known as the zone.
Sears states that when in the 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a consequence, doesn't build up layers of fat.
The most important method of the zone system is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take plenty of Omega 3 and omega 6.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"


"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
