Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup unsweetened coconut, flaked
1 cup unsugared dates, chopped

Cream the butter, egg and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. In
a small bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture a little at a time, to the creamed mixture,
beating after each addition. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut,
dates, orange peel, and 1/2 cup of the pecans. Stir into the cookie

each log in waxed paper and chill for 1 hour. To bake, slice the logs
into 1/8 inch rounds and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned.

Diet types The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet system created by Dr. arthur agatston which stresses that one should eat "good carbs" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented his nutritional system for people who have heart disease, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific research on other diets. "good" foods include, lean cuts of beef, turkey breast, shrimp, mozzarella cheese, peanuts, eggs and some vegatables, like black beans, cabbage and sprouts. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi index diet is based on the gi index, a list of types of food and a score illustrating the speed with which the glucose in the food type gets converted to sugar in the dieters body. The theory is that long-acting food types (ie with a low Glycaemic score), suppress your appetite and mean that you can reduce your consumption of food without feeling you are always hungry. It's also extremely effective for individuals with diabetes, as the low GI foods are beneficial in minimizing increases in glucose levels.

"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
