Ingredients
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
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions
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 systemsThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system started by Cardiologist arthur agatston which stresses the consumption of "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, based on his analysis of scientific studies completed on other nutritional studies. Approved foods include, canadian bacon, chicken breast, oysters, fat free cheese, peanut butter, nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as asparagus, eggplant and water chestnuts. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition and weightloss system first suggested by Barry Sears in a number of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not expressly a weight loss diet, but many zone diet fans find that they lose weight by following the zone diet. The main scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you manage to gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a state of balance which is far more wholesome than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears holds the theory that when your body is in this 'zone' it is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't build up layers of fat. The key method of the diet is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get large amounts of Omega 3 and omega 6. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is reliant on the gi index, a list of food types and an indicator of the rapidity that the glucose in the food gets transformed to sugar in your blood stream. The claim is that slow release types of food (ie those food types with a low Gi score), will keep you feeling full for longer and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without starving yourself. It is also extremely effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in managing rises in glucose amount. |
