The Recipe Instructions |
|||
Ingredients
1/2 lb chicken strips
= (or 2 boneless breasts cut up)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup frozen stir-fry vegetables
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup DaVinci Gourmet Sugar Free Orange S
1 tsp guar gum
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp soy sauce
Directions
In medium skillet, sauté chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat for a
few minutes until almost done. Add vegetables and fry for another two
minutes.
Mix all remaining ingredients together well in a glass and be sure to get
the guar gum well dissolved, no lumps. (Guar gum mixes best when gradually
shaken into a liquid from a salt-type shaker and whisked as you go to
remove/avoid lumps.)
Reduce heat to medium, add sauce mix, and cover for about 5 minutes. Sauce
should be thickened to a nice glaze when done.
This recipe yields 4 servings; 3 to 5 grams of carbohydrate per serving
depending on veggies used.
Comments: Vegetables can be pre-made stir-fry veggie mixes so long as
there are no added sauces or sugars in them and they contain no or few
carrots. Otherwise, use your own favorite mix of onion, peppers, broccoli,
cauliflower, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, or other
low-starch chinese veggies, etc.

The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Although highly controversial, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like bacon and cheeses. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this 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 olive oil. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet primarily devised by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated web site. The Zone diet is not particularly a weight reduction diet, although many people discover that they actually lose weight by following the zone diet. The 'science' behind the Zone Diet is that if one can control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones produced naturally by your body), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which, as a consequence puts the body in a state of equilibrium which is far more wholesome than normal, which followers of the diet, refer to as '"he zone". Sears states that when your body is in this 'zone' it is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The most important process of the zone system is to control the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils. Carotenoid foods (includes cilantro, mangos and tomato puree) These foods contain carotenes believed by scientists play a key part in minimizing the risk of cancer, specifically those cancers involving the esophagus. Many are also good for weight loss, so you should add them to your weight loss regime. |
