Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
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
4 tsp orange peel, fresh grated
1 cup pecans, finely ground
Directions
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
mixture. Divide the dough in half and form into two logs,
approximately 1.1/2 inches in diameter. Place the remaining 1/2 cup
of pecans on a piece of waxed paper. Roll the logs in the nuts. Wrap
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.
Makes 5 dozen.

Diet typesThe Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it claims to allow weight loss whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, such as meat and some dairy produce. With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, 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 cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a result, olive oil. The Glycaemic Index Diet The glycaemic index diet is based around the gi index, a list of food types and a score illustrating the rapidity with which the carbs in the food type gets converted to glucose in your bloodstream. The believe is that slow release food types (ie those foods with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite and help to reduce your intake of food without starving yourself. It is also extremely efficient for diabetes sufferers, as the low GI types of food are helpful in preventing rises in blood glucose amount. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet started by Florida-based cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that dieters should be eating "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented the south beach diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, based on his detailed analysis of scientific research completed on other weight loss systems. "good" foods include, lean cuts of beef, turkey bacon, seafood, provolone cheese, pecan halves, lowfat milk and certain vegetables, like artichokes, eggplant and mushrooms. |
