1/2 cup butter
3 oz cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
6 tsp 100% fruit spread
1 eggs
1 tsp water, cold
Directions
Use various flavors of fruit spread.
Combine butter and cream cheese in large bowl; beat
until smooth and creamy. Blend in vanilla. Combine
flour and salt; gradually add to butter mixture,
mixing until mixture forms soft dough. Divide dough in
half; wrap each half in plastic wrap. Refrigerate
until firm.
Preheat oven to 375. Roll out half of dough on
lightly floured pastry cloth or board to 1/8"
thickness. Cut with top of glass or biscuit cutter

of each dough circle. Beat egg with water; lightly
brush onto edges of dough circles. Bring three edges
of dough up over fruit spread; pinch edges together to

Types of dietThe Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system first invented by Barry Sears in a series of books and publications. The Zone diet is not distinctly a fat reduction diet, however some people claim that they actually lose body weight by following it. The science behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the amount of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts one's body in a state of balance which is an awful lot more wholesome than normal, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your body is working at its most efficient and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The main technique of the zone diet is to control the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The 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 consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented his system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific research on other weight loss studies. Good foods include, canadian bacon, turkey bacon, prawns, cottage cheese, peanuts, eggs and some vegatables, such as butter beans, celery and water chestnuts. The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight loss whilst allowing many of the foods you love, such as beef and eggs. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/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. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to change into glucose and energy, it is the carbohydrates which are burned primarily. If we reduce your intake of carbs, we will utilize our fat and we will become thinner. This theory is contentious, not all nutritionalists concur and some hold that it can sometimes be dangerous. |
