Diet Slow Porridge Recipe

The Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

5 cup water
1 cup oatmeal, * see note
1/2 cup dried fruit
1 dash ground nutmeg
1 dash ground mace
1 dash ground cinnamon

Directions

Recipe by: McDougall Place water, cereal, and dried fruit in slow
cooker. Stir. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours. The mixture should be
like a thick soup, so do not add milk at the table.

HELPFUL HINTS: Each slow cooker is a little different from the
others, so you may have to adjust the amount of water needed.

For added flavor sprinkle a bit of nutmeg, mace or cinnamon, in any
combination. Try brown rice, barley, rye berries, whole oats, or wheat
berries. Cracked grains, such as oatmeal or cracked wheat, may get too
mushy for some tastes. From the collection of Sue Smith, S.Smith34,

The brassicas, Healthy super foods that aid Dieting (includes Arugula, Brussels sprouts, Mustard greens and Radishes) These cruciferous vegetables have large amounts of vitamins (eg.folate and vitamin c), minerals (including potassium and selenium), isothiocyanates, antioxidents and indole-3-carbinol. In addition to their numerous health benefits, a few of these nutrients are believed by doctors to help reduce the cancer risk. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a diet system first advocated by Barry Sears in a number of books. The Zone diet isn’t particularly a weight loss diet, although many 'zone dieters' claim that they actually manage to lose weight by following this system. The supposed science behind the Zone Diet is that if you gain control of the levels of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, as a consequence puts the body in a balanced state that is much more healthful than other diets, which, not surprisingly, is known as 'the zone'. Sears alleges that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't build up fat. The most interesting procedure of the system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get increased amounts of Omega 3 fish oils.

"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
