1/2 cup dried fruit
1 (raisins, apples, apricots,
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash ground mace
1 dash ground cinnamon

Directions

cereal to boiling water while stirring. Reduce heat to low, cook,
stirring frequently, 15 to 30 minutes. The longer the ingredients
cook, the softer they will be.

The porridge should be like a thick soup. Do not add milk at the
table.

HELPFUL HINTS: Most health food stores sell many kinds of whole grain
cereals. Follow directions on package, but increase the amount of
water by 1/2 cup for every two servings.

For added flavor, add a sprinkle of nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, or any
combination of these. From the collection of Sue Smith, S.Smith34,

Weight loss diets The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) nutrition and weight loss system is reliant on the gi index, a chart showing foods and an indicator of the rapidity that the glucose of the food type gets changed to glucose in your body. The believe is that long-acting food types (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite for longer and mean that you can reduce your intake of food without feeling you are missing out. It is also very efficient for folk with diabetes, as the low GI food types are helpful in managing increases in blood glucose amount. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which stresses that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston invented his weight loss system for people who have heart disease, as a consequence of his analysis of scientific studies on other weight loss systems. Good foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, clams, provolone cheese, peanut butter, nonfat milk and some vegatables, such as lentils, cucumbers and sprouts. The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg pork and eggs. With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.

"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
