Ingredients
1 stephen ceideburg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 3/4 cup egg whites (about 11), at room temp, erature
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
2 tsp vanilla
Directions
Fruit compote, optional (see accompanying recipes)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine flour and cocoa with 3/4 cup sugar. Mix well
and set aside.
Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and cream of
tartar. Beat at high speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks
form. Test by turning off machine and raising beater slowly.
Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating well
after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form when you
remove the beaters.
With a rubber spatula, gently fold in the vanilla. Then sprinkle a
fourth of the flour mixture over the beaten egg whites. Using an
under-and-over motion, gently fold in the flour with the spatula. Do
5 strokes, rotating the bowl as you fold in the flour. Repeat three
more times, until the flour mixture is all used up. Then fold an
additional 10 strokes. Flour mixture should be blended into the egg
whites.
Gently pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake 35 to
40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Invert tube pan
over the neck of a glass bottle. Keep the cake inverted until
completely cool, at least two hours.
With a sharp knife, carefully loosen cake from the pan. Serve plain or
garnished with a fruit compote.

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet system is based around the glycaemic index, a chart showing foods and an indicator of the ease that the glucose of the food type gets transformed to glucose in the dieters body. The theory is that long-acting types of food (ie those food types with a low Glycaemic index score), keep you satiated for longer and help you to eat less food without starving yourself. It's also extremely efficient for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are useful in preventing increases in blood glucose secretion. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his weight loss system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed study of scientific studies completed on other dietary studies. Examples of good foods include, broiled ham, turkey bacon, shrimp, mozzarella cheese, pistachio nuts, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like lentils, eggplant and mushrooms. Wonder foods with carotenes (includes cilantro, collard greens and tomato puree) These orange and green healthy superfoods have high levels of the carotenoids thought by experts to play a role in preventing cancer, specifically of the the stomach. The majority of these are also low in calories, so you should add them to your diet. |
