A traditional recipe cabbage rolls Less ...

Preparation

1) Cut the cabbage into pieces about 3 inches square (you do not have to be exact). To separate into pieces, maybe 2-4 sheets thick each. Put about half in the bottom of the pan or Dutch oven.

2) Mix the meat, onions and spices, including salt and pepper. Form meatballs and nest among the cabbage leaves. Put the rest on the leaves at the top.

3) Add tomatoes and lemon juice or vinegar in a blender (or in a pot and a blender, or use a food processor). Pulse a few times. You want the tomatoes pureed partially, but still the pieces. Can puree about half of the box, if desired. You can use it in a pot on the stove and cook a little to do, if you want (it's probably better to do, to blend flavors, but this is not essential).

4) Add the tomato mixture sweetener to get a nice "bittersweet" effect. A little seasoning salt and pepper and a tablespoon of cumin, if desired. Pour over cabbage.

5) Bake at 350 ° C for 1 hour. I like going to the cover for the first 20 minutes for the juices, then remove the cover. In a Dutch oven, cook for 6 to 8 hours of light or 2-3 on.

Here & # 039; s the proper way to read a nutrition label

Updated August 11, 2014th

Nutrition labeling is an important source of information about some of the foods we eat, but it should also be noted that many, if not most, of the best options for shopping carts do not have labels are everything. This is because most whole foods (some would say "real food") does not come with a label. I am referring to vegetables, meat, fruit and other fresh foods that have all their nutrients intact, and are usually low in sugar and starch. Of course, there are whole foods with labels (such as nuts and frozen vegetables), and those who tend to glucose (such as potatoes and mangoes) instead. But for the most part, stay away from packaged foods is a good guide to healthier choices.

That is, there is lots of information to help on food labels, the food we eat - and there are parts of the label can be confusing. So we will begin to understand how to read nutrition labels, paying special attention to help on those of us eat low carb.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Sonoma Diet

Updated 16 June 2014.

Sonoma Diet More

Simple - The Sonoma Diet strength is that it is very easy - without counting calories or grams. Dimensions of the plate is used for portion control.

Positive approach - The approach should be what you are rather than what not to eat, and this is true to some extent. However, the list of forbidden foods one that is common, for example, the South Beach diet, and most of this list is for all low carb diets.

Nutrition - The focus is on eating slowly and enjoy the food. Allowed a glass of wine with dinner after the first ten days, partly for this purpose.

Nutrition - The books talks obtain a variety of phytochemicals and antioxidants, in part, by "power foods." I always like when I have a plan that focuses on the variety and nutrition. In addition, whole foods are highlighted (very few processed foods are recommended), which is always a good sign.

Structure - I think some of the most popular low-carbohydrate diets have no structure. For those who want more tips, offers Sonoma diet, but maybe too much for some.

Sonoma Diet Less

Very little flexibility in a low-calorie diet - The first wave was analyzed 900-1100 calorie menus for Women and Men 1100-1300, with 200 to 300 calories more in the second wave. It is then for most people in the first phase, and many people are taking too low, depending on the size and activity. Within a few days, these people will be greedy, that is not sustainable. "To help a little snack [raw vegetables raw]," do not work well if you are willing to sink your teeth are in - very little guidance is, what to do when you are hungry given. next chair

limited parts, especially after the first phase of the vegetables - seen by limiting the volume / high vegetables more than any other plan I have low fiber strength. This may be an unintended consequence of the food, but when I tried to follow the first wave of the guidelines in my food, I was involved with this restriction. A cup of cooked spinach filled almost half a plate of nine inches. One of my favorite breakfast - two eggs in a pile of vegetables, never fit in a seven-inch bowl. Many in the half after the first ten days of vegetables that simply is not acceptable to me.

Many forbidden foods - The Sonoma Diet emphasizes whole foods that is praising (and best), but it is a big change for most people. Most plans give more "outputs" in terms of, for example, sugar substitutes, more fat, or "extra" food. Many of them are not allowed in the Sonoma diet.

The decrease in carbohydrates in the first phase - beginning Carb accident is for many of the low-carb diets, but maybe Sonoma Diet is not intended, is low in carbohydrates, no way, so has to deal. For more information, see Arrival in the first week.

Inconsistencies and inaccuracies - To be fair, most of the popular diets, what I perceive as contradictions and inaccuracies. Be aware of this at the Sonoma diet:

1. He says to be back again and not too little carbohydrates, and repeatedly criticized for low carb diets, but the recommended amounts of carbohydrates in the Sonoma diet is compatible with other reduced carbohydrate diets. The first wave menus I analyzed were about 40 grams of carbohydrates per day are used, and no waves Two menus are more than 100 grams (some as low as 69). It is low in carbohydrates in every respect. In fact, this system shows that low-carb diets can be high in fiber and recommend a variety of foods, including almost all low-carb diet authors.
2. Confirmed that the whole grain bread is less Glycemic than white bread. While the loaves of wheat serious game less Glycemic than white bread, which is not the case for most of the 100% whole wheat, is used in the finely ground flour.
3. He claims that the grains "the heart and soul of the diet," but the Sonoma diet has less grain products as "food pyramid".

This is a simple recipe and rich in vitamins, antioxidants, fiber and protein. I love it for lunch, and would even make a complete dinner. They have 1 or 2, depending on the number of eggs. A person may find that this is too much spinach, so use your judgment. When using fresh rather than frozen spinach is a manageable amount of spinach, as much decreases.

You need a pan with a lid for this recipe. Non-stick is the best.

Coco Sugar - Is it really low carb?

Updated March 7, 2014.

Coconut sugar also referred to as palm sugar, is the new star coconut product market "without natural and healthy sugar" (a company introduced the slogan "Perfect Sugar nature" to describe it.)'ve Seen the claims is a "low carb" sugar , which will not increase the blood sugar (or at least not much), and also has other remarkable properties, including the load with minerals. Let's see what it is, and if any one of claims have merit.

What is coconut palm sugar?

In principle, all forms of sugar you buy in the store, are concentrated forms of natural plant sugars, whether from sugar cane, sugar beet, maple, flower nectar (honey) agave, rice - the list goes on and on. If we buy in the store these sugars, which are quite similar - all are mixtures of sugar, with about 16 calories and 4 grams of sugar (carbohydrates) per teaspoon. Coconut sugar is no exception.

The coconut palm sugar is produced from the nectar of the coconut flower buds. The shoots are cut off and captured the SAP, then decreased. The result is a color of sugar candy, has similarities with the brown sugar. (Incidentally, you can also "palm sugar", which is a sugar obtained from other types of coconut palm tree.)

How glycemic coconut sugar?

The main claim of health before we suppliers of coconut sugar is that it does not raise blood sugar as much as other sugars. In fact, there is a report of the Institute of Food and Nutrition in the Philippines, which has connected on a large scale and it says that the glycemic index "coconut sugar prepared by the Philippine Coconut" 35 were based on the results of the calculated 10 subjects is very small indeed, so why should we doubt that there are a few possibilities occurred to me ..?:

1) There was no indication of the variety of responses in the report most cases, the report of a study on the glycemic index is not only the average reaction to a food, but the range of responses. | - How different people react. This did not happen here. With about 10 people have a much higher response? We do not know.

In addition, coconut sugar has brand (Sweet tree) in the given package :. Post "Sweet axis IG a reliable indicator of a sugar is not created" feel "for diabetics In our experience we have found that when coconut sweeteners have proven to be to be low as 35 GI tests showed continuous fluctuations. believe it is natural for variable contributions. reason for these fluctuations, we do not condone the use of this product for diabetics. "

In other words, heard blood sugar rises when people used coconut sugar. And if they do not, but diabetics to hear, the only people who regularly give their reaction in blood sugar levels by diet? It should be added that the glycemic index tests here are almost always done in healthy young adults are less likely to have problems with blood sugar levels. Diabetes, pre-diabetes and "pre-pre" diabetes often respond differently.

2) It does not make sense. There is absolutely no conclusive explanation for why this sugar is different from all other types of sugar in their effect on blood sugar. According to the descriptions of the industry, coconut sugar sucrose is much sugar (glucose and fructose half-half), we can expect that the glycemic index is similar to (65). One explanation could be that these largely as fructose agave syrup. Because fructose does not increase blood sugar (but affected in a number of other problems), high fructose component would cause much of a reaction in blood sugar. But they say fructose is similar to other sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, cane sugar, etc. So it is not logical that coconut sugar would act differently in the body.

If anyone reads this who tested their blood sugar levels in the blood after using this product, especially compared with other sweeteners, I would like to know the results.

Coconut sugar is rich in minerals?

"Coconut sugar is responsible for minerals!" Websites and selling proclaim loudly. How is this true in reality?

Application may be best for potassium. Was published, according to the Philippine Institute of Food Research and Nutrition, the amount of potassium in a half cup of coconut sugar is high - daily dose of 1000 mg (the recommended adult 4,700 mg). Consume but half a cup of sugar actually a good way to get potassium? The amount of a teaspoon 43 mg - not essential, particularly when compared to most meat and vegetables. For example, a half cup of cooked vegetables is most between 400 and 500 mg of potassium and 4 ounce serving of meat is the same. (Read what are the foods that are rich in potassium?)

The amounts of other minerals in coconut sugar too low for the amount of people actually eat. It even contains half a cup of sugar 29 mg Magnesium (as compared to 76 mg in a half cup of cooked spinach) and 2 mg of zinc.

Are there any other concerns? Coconut sugar is actually more sustainable?

"The sustainable sugar on the planet!" Some websites say. Obviously on the fact that it is based real environmental problems with the production of sugar cane, which are not present in the production of coconut sugar, where the tree will continue to produce the juice of every year. In addition, the Web sites of industry, less water is used, and coconut trees in very poor soils grow (eg sand beaches.) However, to my knowledge, no honey or maple syrup production current serious environmental concerns.

An issue that may be important for those who love coconut milk and oil: Once a coconut flower is "used" by the SAP, not to be a coconut. Coconut farmers can get much more money for coconut sugar now, some of the trees that went into the production, coconut coconut sugar were instead tapped. That may be one reason why the price of meat, coconut, milk and oil have increased.

The Bottom Line

Coconut sugar is very expensive sugar. If you are in your own limit carbohydrates and want to experiment with it, go ahead, but make sure that if you do your meter with you. I do not recommend it as better than any other sugar following low carb diet.

6 ideas for low carb quick breakfast

Updated 16 June 2014.

With our busy lives, have fast food is available important to start the day right. We no longer write, bagels and donuts, we need to find ways to find accelerate the process of obtaining a low-carb healthy breakfast in a small period of time. Here are some ideas and tips for a quick bit low in carbohydrates.

It remains

Only reheat leftovers from last night's dinner is one of the easiest ways to prepare a nutritious breakfast. One advantage is that it is likely a major part of the protein contained. Protein is important for our bodies to prepare a good start, but it is not always easy with great speed. I'm trying to play a game or two with each meal, so I have enough for breakfast and / or lunch the next day. I also make extra vegetables when I cook. They can be small or tortilla scramble.

2 the ingredients Ready to Go

Planning a protein shake? Fairs throughout the evening before, so you have to throw only in the blender. With hot cereal, instant cereal and flax meal? Put flax meal, salt and cinnamon in a bowl on the counter, just add the peanut butter and hot water. You have cooked bacon or sausage and zap in the microwave.

3 Make Ahead

Many breakfast items in a batch, then chilled or frozen. For example:

• Eggs - Scramble a large (with vegetables, if desired), and divided into sections. They can be stored for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, and frozen for longer. Consistency will suffer a little, but good taste.

  Something that works even better is to make a frittata. Can use tortillas, up leftover vegetables or meat that you left on the hand and left pieces can be refrigerated or frozen.

  A similar option is "mini-omelets" made in a muffin pan instead of a big one. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Use a non-stick muffin pan and butter it! You can even cook eggs in muffin with butter at every break an egg into each cup. Add cheese, if desired. Bake as for mini tortillas.



• Flax bread - is good toast, or try this: Melt cheese on top, sprinkle with bacon, then with two fried eggs (see Quick method for eggs below) to cover.


• Muffins - Muffins make low-carb and do in the morning, perhaps with a little protein cottage cheese (cottage cheese, sprinkle cinnamon - mmm).


• Pancakes - Make a big batch of pancakes and keep them in the fridge or freezer. Serve with syrup or sugar syrup bays house. Or peanut butter and / or jam without sugar and eat a sandwich or toast in the race.

4 Quick Cooking

There is both a burden if you can cook super fast.

Learn flip fried eggs in a frying pan: One of my favorite (and funny) tips to save time is to make fried eggs in a small nonstick pan is rotating in the air, without utensils (still need to add oil or butter, to be working). It takes surprisingly little to do practice. I practiced over the sink at first, and I think I only lost once the pan. If I know I'll be pressed for time, I leave the kitchen on fire with a little butter or coconut oil ball. I go to the kitchen, turn the pan, eggs, and two minutes later, breakfast is ready. I plop above heated to some plant.

Microwave Eggs: If you make scrambled eggs in the microwave, you can do other things at the same time. Our About.com Guide to Busy kitchen has a recipe.

5 wraps, burritos and cumulative

Walk out the door? Blades eggs, chicken, sausages, etc, in a low carb tortilla and vegetables and spices to your taste.

6 people uncooked

- Dairy products such as spoonable yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese or cottage cheese are combined with frozen fruits such as berries and nuts or flax seeds for a quick breakfast shakes.

A Beginners Guide to Cooking Eggs

Scrambled base are very simple, and the variations are endless. Heat butter or other fats in the previous non-stick pan. Put the eggs in a bowl, a tablespoon of cream, milk or water per egg, and season with salt and pepper. Stir with a fork (with a twisting motion) until the mixture is fairly uniform. If you have a whip, which is even better, because more air is soft eggs have (but honestly, they usually do not bother). Pour into the pan. Eggs As they begin to thicken, stir with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, move to the pan while cooking. Let a little in front of them! They will continue to thicken after removing from the heat slightly, and to get bad eggs when you go.

Variations: Add a little parsley, chives or other herbs like chopped boiled eggs. Or an eye: Place vegetables or meat you want to pan and cook for the first time in the fat (or just the heat when they are already cooked) want. All spices should be added that you should at this time. Next, add eggs and cook as before.

Faster and easier - microwave scrambled eggs

Give scrambled eggs in a bowl, as above, with a bowl in the microwave. If desired, add cheese and other ingredients such as (cooked vegetables, chopped ham, etc.) Microwave on high for 45 seconds to 1 or 2 eggs, 3 eggs for 1 minute and 90 seconds if it.

A Low-Carb Pudding Blueberry Almond Breakfast

Yum !!

I took the advice of some authors. First, to make the recipe, so that it maintains its true name "" bread pudding "," add water. I have 3 tablespoons of water, and was glad that he came with a soft bread pudding. I also cook for 70 seconds. To the hot steam to be. This is because after cooking, and I mixed easily, I added a little cream and butter optically. I also mixed in a packet of Splenda. I was so excited that he went as expected. If this recipe is called Almond Blueberry Muffin, I would have missed. (I ate low carb dry food almond cupcakes in my time). I LOVE bread pudding and anchor what I was looking for! Is it again. By the way, I bought Trader Joe almond flour for years, and it is so easy to use (and cheaper).

Movie Review: Food, Inc.

Updated September 7, 2014.

"Food, Inc.", the new documentary directed by Robert Kenner, begins with the sentence. More Later in the film, it was stressed that one of the most important changes in what we eat, is that our food was flooded "The way we eat has more radically in the last 50 years than in the last 10,000 years not changed "with sugar and other refined carbohydrates. "Food, Inc." is on the way these and other changes have been made to be, and the state of the current food system unknown.

Weave a web of stories about our food system

Why this story is little known, a story in itself. In 100 years of radical do not know where our foods come from - that's exactly how the big food corporations want.

Most of Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food), "Food, Inc." told from different locations in the "food chain" was initiated. We see the views of farmers, workers and consumers, among others. It identified a number of issues of food production, such as workplace safety, food safety and food labeling discussed. One of the strengths of the film, that instead of just talking about it, going to the right side in the field with farmers in the grocery store with a poor family trying to put food on the table, and in the parks fattening and slaughter houses (sometimes with the use of hidden cameras). Moreover, while it is true that the film shows the endangered animals, please do not use as a reason not to see the film. You can always close your eyes for these items if necessary (although I do not recommend).

Large companies take power

The film notes that the system almost from the United States, all food is now in the hands of very few companies. For example, in 1970 six companies produce 20% to 25% of the meat consumed in the United States today, to create four companies 80% of the meat. Where there were thousands of slaughterhouses in the country, there are 13 One problem with this is that if something goes wrong, such as pollution, a large amount of food. Another reason is that the food is more and more transports. It turns out that the centralized system is food, it is vulnerable and fragile.

The film also focus on how the consolidation of food production affects farmers. A chicken farmer wanted the farm in a "good old days", where the light to keep in the barns. Was cut. Another farmer described how large companies keep their debt requires farmers with very little real income by accumulating more and more.

Some companies, such as Monsanto, systematically eliminated most of the farmers who are their competitors through expensive litigation. So they took control of more than 80% of the soybean crop in the United States in only 11 years.

Large government subsidies for corn, wheat and soybeans are used to maintain the system, so that food companies put people in key positions in government, including the FDA. Therefore, we have a lot of cheap, fast, available carbohydrate, but the expensive broccoli.

The positive side - And the power that we exercise

But this movie is not just dark. Across America, people will begin to make changes, and the film makes a great point that "we for the food system we want to vote three times a day." These changes in consumer demand, obtained for example from organic food Walmart. (We meet farmer meeting with Walmart executives who are eager to admit that he was boycotting Walmart for years.)

A farmer who was liked Joel Salatin, whose Polyface Farm is The Omnivore's Dilemma in the book. Wishes I had the director more used by the to their cattle on land convert system shown presented, followed a few days later for their Campers on The advantage of the animals and the earth.

The film ends with a large number of steps we can take to support our local food economy, to write our representatives in Congress. We are far from being in this situation, but if we gave them power, the current system of food production (which have a negative impact on the whole world) is not allowed to just keep growing.

Often, when a film is as "important" a lot of people run in the other direction. But if you read this far, chances are someone who really wants to know where the food you get in your body. And in fact, it is difficult to think much more important than that for me.

Roast: One way to think of a slow cooker is like a small oven. It is good for things like roast, fried chicken and other dishes that are baked in the oven to dry heat.

Soups and stews: One way to distinguish slow ovens, however, is that it allows water to evaporate. This makes them ideal for soups and stews. The water in the meat and vegetables are coming into the kitchen by the liquid.

Cooking in a Dutch oven is difficult for courts, which have a thick sauce, and chicken cacciatore. The main problem is that the vegetables (and to a lesser extent, meat) are mostly water, so that when cooking an incredible amount of water. Using fresh ingredients, often a very thin sauce, and dilution of the other ingredients For this reason, when I do I use a bowl with a thick gravy one or more of the following techniques to avoid a sauce that is too thin:

• Cook the vegetables remove a lot of moisture in the area first. Browning the meat also there, albeit to a lesser extent.
• The ingredients to thicken or water to drink, such as tomato paste, dried vegetables, TVP, or low-carb thickeners.
• If adding a flavored liquid, such as wine or tomatoes in juice, cooking on the stove to reduce the liquid before adding to the slow cooker.

Crock Pot Tips

• Choice of meat is important, if a slow cooker is used. In general, the cuts tend to be heavy (which is also cheaper and savory) works well for long slow cooking breaks connective tissue degradation, the more difficult these cuts. Pork shoulder, brisket and chuck roasts are examples of these cuts. When cooking poultry, whole chicken or dark meat (legs, thighs) work best.
• Be prepared to adjust spices near the end of cooking - Can cooking aromas slowly and focus on others. Herbs helped in particular by adding one or two hours before the end of cooking. (More suggestions for this in How to balance the flavors in the kitchen)
• Lift the lid! Each time, if so, heat is lost and the cooking time is added.
• No make milk, cream, sour cream in the beginning of cooking, as the heat will separate long.
• If you want to brown the meat, add more flavor and fat to reduce, but not necessary. He has published more juice, if not brown.
• Frozen vegetables are partially cooked. If you use them, thaw and add to prevent boiling over in the last hour of cooking.
• Fresh vegetables cook more slowly than meat. If not pre-cooked vegetables, and not much liquid in the recipe, put the vegetables in the meat.
• Chop the vegetables and prepare the meat beforehand (as before) for rapid development. If you are cut a big piece of meat into small pieces, the butchers have to do it and ask for the cut fat at the same time. (In the supermarket, usually rings a bell to call the battle.)

Sugar Free Strawberry Topping

Preparation

This is one of the few things I use Splenda powder instead of liquid.

The amount depends on what you are used to. For the cheese filling, I use 2-3 cups of strawberries.

For each cup of chopped strawberries, sprinkle a packet of Splenda and mix in a tablespoon of sugar-free jam.

Nutritional Information: One cup of chopped strawberries has 9.5 grams effective carbohydrate, 3 g fiber. Splenda has one gram of carbohydrate per packet, and each brand jam will be different (Make sure that you get the jam without sugar) a little.

Fresh Ginger - Tips for storage and use

Updated on 26 June 2010.

The best advice I had for the use and storage of ginger root is always the simple secret: keep in the freezer (I use a zip-type bag). This means:

• It is very light and finely ground (a grater will do, although I like the best way Microplane)
• You do not need to peel! I'm not kidding. So good to make dander Do not worry, meaning
• Much less waste, so it takes longer.

Try it out, and it will, I guarantee. All the problems is required in cooperation with fresh ginger, and not end up biting pieces of ginger in your food.

One tablespoon fresh ginger has a gram of carbohydrate and much taste.

What they eat the cavemen?

Updated 16 June 2014.

Quantity of protein

It is estimated that the first inhabitants of these plans was approximately 20 to 35 percent protein. Authors of the Paleo diet recommend a diet rich in protein, usually in the upper end of this range.

Number of fiber

Although these vary widely by geography and time of year, most people who eat a diet rich in fiber Paleo, 100-200 grams of fiber. (The hotter the weather, the more food and fiber crops.)

The glycemic load

No, the fact that people deny the Paleolithic diet, ate today much lower glycemic diet. Carbohydrates was probably about 20-40 percent of calories, and none was treated by them, sugar and cereals.

The supply of vitamins and minerals

It seems that the foods that were themselves taken since the first few days were mainly used to dilute the concentration of nutrients in our diet. Grains are not very rich in nutrients compared with vegetables, meat and seafood, while sugar and most cooking oils are devoid of nutrients.

Food Variety

The Paleolithic were eaten more than 100 different types of food a year. Most people do not realize that in today's world, and yet we know that a number of food products, in particular a variety of fruits and vegetables is one of the foundations of a healthy and balanced diet.

Amount of salt

Probably now eat more salt. Loren Cordain believes that the amended report of potassium and sodium is important.

Antinutrients

Paleolithic diets authors speak of substances in cereals, legumes and other foods that can interfere with the absorption of nutrients such as phytic acid. Other molecules, such as lectins, to a situation, larger molecules help in the intestine where the gut to allow in the blood which can contribute to allergic and autoimmune diseases. This condition is called "leaky gut" or "increased intestinal permeability."

Other questions

Low-Carb Low-Fat Beats still

Updated September 9, 2014.

Now, in September 2014 and we have another plan comparison study has been reported by the media, this time in the Annals of Internal Medicine (

Effects of low carbohydrate and low fat diet: A randomized study). This study attempts to do some things differently, but is most similar studies in the past, and (surprise) similar results.

Why the constant attention on limiting carbohydrate vs fat? It is primarily the story. At a time when the conventional wisdom was that the limit starchy and sweet was the way to lose weight, but about 35 years ago has emerged a theory that excessive dietary fat causes heart disease. Since then, researchers have tried

show that this is true, but the fruits of their work, suggested the contrary. Meanwhile, there is growing evidence that eating too many carbohydrates can cause health problems of various kinds.

You would think that with all the talk that people abandoned the idea of a diet low in fat "healthy fats". But even if the last health recommendations have turned from recommending, showed 1 July 2014 Gallup poll that nearly 60% of Americans (about 30% to avoid carbohydrates) dietary fat should be avoided. So low-fat diet is not dead by any means, and make sure something people in question.

The study, led by Dr. Lydia Bazzano, of Tulane University, conducted with funding from the National Institutes of Health, attempts to resolve two joint studies with a similar performance problem: 1) In general, African-Americans are under-represented while in this study half of the participants were black, and 2) in this study, participants calories are not limited (as usual, at least the low-fat, and sometimes the group low in carbohydrates, a diet that is also low in calories). The low-fat group, followed by the National Cholesterol Education Program diet recommended because the researchers were specifically looking at the how the plans have the risk of heart disease affected. The low-carb group was instructed carbohydrates to limit less than 40 grams

digestible carbohydrates (net) and increased intake of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats sources. The study lasted 12 months.

Participants: The majority of participants were overweight in the mild to moderate range. You do not have heart disease or diabetes, and most of them do not seem to have data prediabetes or metabolic syndrome. This may be important because the human with impaired glucose treatment (the spectrum is as diabetes) are more likely to benefit from reducing carbohydrates.

Compliance: Compliance was "OK". Not reach the low-carb group, on average, the target of 40 grams of net carbs per day, but they were about 90 to 100 grams for the first half of the study, a slight increase to 127 grams for the end of the year (34 % of calories). There was still a significant reduction in food about 240 g prior to the start of the study. The group with low fat content was better that. Less than 30% of calories from fat, but it was not such a big change for them, as it started at 35% of calories from fat In particular, this group can also be significantly reduced carbohydrates, about 20%. This could be the guidelines of the National Cholesterol Education Program (TLC diet) Consulting a low-fat diet that is also low in added sugars to follow. It is important to take this into account, as some of its results could have reduced carbohydrates. For example, both groups spontaneously reduced calorie, low carbohydrate group than the group with low fat content.

Results: I have to be honest and say that the results were somewhat difficult to interpret in depth, mainly because the paper does not give simple numbers, but show statistical manipulation of the numbers. Moreover, most of the measures (eg blood pressure) began, the participants in the normal range, so that they are less likely to change that, starting with an abnormal number. (Interestingly, about a third of the participants were drugs in blood pressure, but not to report the researchers, if someone reduces their dose during the study.)

That is, describes its main familiar for those of us who pay attention to the science in relation to low carb diets significant results:

Weight: As usual, for a survey of this type, the average weight loss was modest 12 pounds for the low-carb group and 4 pounds for the group with little fat. One disappointing thing about the paper is not reporting areas on average. Presentation often varies gives us a different picture - a famous study (Christopher Gardner) there was a variation of 66 kg on the amount of weight lost, even if the means were in the study. Lost so much information that if only the means are reported.

Cardiovascular risk factors had the low-carb group had significantly greater improvements in HDL ("good" cholesterol), triglycerides and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation). No changes in the two groups in most of the other measures (which, as I said, normal anyway started), but especially diet specifically designed to improve the cardiovascular risk (CCM fat diet) did not reduce the risk, while the low-carbohydrate diet reduces the risk, measured by 10-year Framingham risk score for CHD. These improvements are fairly typical, if a low-carb diet is followed.

Final Thoughts

Although I know that the researchers are trying to find something new, they have not. (One might assume that the participants in the order that African-Americans responded similarly to all that, but do not address the document this problem.) Yes, it's good to replicate the results in the different groups, but not Please can we go? There are so many things we need to know the individual variation in response to diet! Seriously! For example, we know that people with metabolic syndrome are usually react particularly well suited for low-carb diets. So why not bring people on the spectrum of diabetes and begin taking different approaches to low carb? Paleo vs Atkins anyone? Middle ketogenic carb vs low carb vs? People with diabetes, people from the are moderately resistant to insulin? Jeff Volek from the University of Connecticut has a great job in this area, but the company needs (and funding).

It was an interesting discussion, but a little frustrating in the New York Times as a follow-up study, which illustrates my point. She excelled in the room were the views of Dr. David Katz, a prominent physician who continue to advocate (ie, carbohydrates or fats) "do not focus on a particular nutrient", but whole foods, unprocessed in place. Although I pretty much eat whole unprocessed foods, nobody does it do well, we do the best with the same diet, or ignore some of us are better off without much glucose (sugar) in our diet. (Dr. Katz is the developer of a food classification system called by some grocery stores NuVal reduction of all food used to be a row. This is useful if you are looking for a single one-size-fits-all solution, but my point is that different sizes require different solutions Whatever.), I was going to stand up and clap when the voice of reason in the form of Christopher Gardner (I'm always enjoy this kind!) reached the end of the article said, "trying to find" the best Diet "[for all] is wrong." The better question is: "What is the best diet for different people, and how can we agree on these plans?" Exactly !! Let's do it!

The benefits of nutrition and consumer health ...

Updated 16 June 2014.

There are so many wonderful things about salmon is hard to know where to start.

This is a fish that even people who do not like fish can enjoy (eg my husband). It is firm enough to grill, you can cook it in many different ways, and not dry out as easily as many other fish. It is fresh, frozen, smoked and canned. Wild salmon are eaten without fear of excessive pollutants and mercury and has a very high nutrient profile, including the coveted Omega-3 fatty acids, fatty acids. What's not to love?

Salmon nutrition

Salmon is a highly nutritious food. Of course, that is rich in protein and "good fats". But did you know that a 4 ounce serving of wild salmon provides a full day requirement for vitamin D? It is one of the few foods that can make that claim. The same piece of fish, with more than half of the required B12, niacin, and selenium, and is an excellent source of vitamin B6, and magnesium. Canned Salmon also contains large amounts of calcium (as bones).

Health Benefits of Salmon

People who eat fish appear to protect against a variety of conditions. Part is probably due to the omega-3 fatty acids, but it can also be other advantages except that. The science is not yet clear why fish (particularly fatty fish such as salmon) food seems to be so darn good for us.

Omega-3 fatty acids appear to work primarily by reducing inflammation in our body. Inflammation seems to be the cause of many health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, some cancers and arthritis. Omega-3 is also used to prevent blood clots that cause many strokes.

A rather interesting development is the recent discovery that omega-3 fatty acids have the potential to slow cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline to help with aging. Also, people who have sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids (especially compared to omega-6 fatty acids) seem less risk of depression and suicide, and less aggressive are - in a study give these prisoners fat (more vitamins) reduced aggressive behavior by a third in just two weeks.

The healthiest foods in the world: More information and references of research into the benefits of salmon acids and omega-3 fatty acids.

Farmed salmon against nature

It's kind of a dispute about eating wild to farmed salmon. The questions are divided into three main categories:

Pollution: Most salmon for human consumption is grown today, but several independent studies have shown that the concentrations of PCBs and other contaminants in concentrations up to 10 times higher in farmed salmon. In Europe, there were situations in which fished harvested with high heavy metals such as lead and cadmium investigated. These pollutants seem fish food, which are concentrated in salmon oil.

Farmed salmon in the United States by the USDA and the FDA, that higher levels of pollutants to wild salmon, which is regulated by the EPA allowed. A common argument is that the EPA has reviewed the scientific literature and makes new recommendations recently the FDA. FDA regulations have since 1984, when the people in the United States updated much less ate salmon and other fish. More information about contaminants in farmed salmon.

. Omega-3: Farmed fish is thicker - so that animals "fed" the same is true of salmon This means that there are higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, but there are warnings about :.

1. Since impurities, often is recommended that farmed salmon is to reduce the fat content cooked.
2. New foods are developed with less fish meal in them and more plant foods. In general, herbal ingredients more omega-3 fat levels in salmon. (Note that in the ocean, salmon are carnivores: they eat no plants at all.)
3. Even today, the proportion of omega-3 sub in farmed salmon, which obviously led to soy, wheat, etc. in the food to them.

Environmental problems: Breeding fish produce a lot of environmental problems. Read more about it in the Seafood Watch website.

But there is good news. Two wild and farmed salmon have low levels of mercury. Moreover, not overused salmon - especially Alaskan Salmon is in good shape. More on Seafood Watch

Additional note: canned salmon is wild.

Low-Carb Vegetable Beef Soup 9 Easy Steps

Preparation

I have a big compliment to the test kitchen of America, to give some of the techniques in this recipe, especially the addition of gelatin. The idea behind gelatin, the texture you want to get the beef broth home imitate.

Note beef broth: I like better for this application than Bouillon, as I like the taste and it's easy to adjust the salinity. Beef stock in trade is very different in quality. Some authors recommend the use of chicken broth recipe, mostly or chicken broth, if you can not find a good taste of meat broth.

1 Fry the bacon crispy. Remove bacon from the pan and cool.

Saute onion 2 until tender in bacon fat and begin to brown. Add mushrooms and cook until mushrooms have reduced in size and lost much of its water. Celery and cook for 2-3 minutes.

4 Pour into the pan and wine to get for a minute or two, stirring all the juices from the bottom of the pan.

5 Add the soy sauce, celery, broth, pepper, allspice, thyme and bay leaf. Bring bring the soup to a boil and cook until the celery is soft, about 15 minutes.

6th taste (be careful!), And adjust seasonings. The meat in the soup and cook the soup for five minutes.

7 While the soup is cooking, cut the cooked bacon and sprinkle geletin cold in half a cup of water.

8 Turn off the heat, remove the bay leaves from the soup, stir in gelatin and parsley.

9 with a side of bacon, and, where appropriate, serve the chopped chives.

Better than Bouillon soup bases

Updated 1 January 2014.

The Bottom Line

"Better than Bouillon" is a line of soup bases - pulp concentrates, broth / cardboard are used in place of bouillon cubes or canned. While not as good as homemade wines, those who have treated me more than lived up to its name.

Manufacturer's Site

More

• Good taste - increased other wines on the market
• Controlling the concentration of flavor
• Cheaper than canned broth or paperboard
• Not having to boil liquid to concentrate the flavor

Less

• Strong enough
• Not as tasty as the homemade broth

Description

• This soup bases are pasta pots that come in 8 oz
• In nine flavors, including chicken, beef, vegetables, mushrooms, ham and Turkey.
• Each pot will make 38 cups of broth at the recommended concentration.
• Must be refrigerated after opening.
• All flavors are gluten-free.
• I have prices ranging from $ 2.99 to $ 7.99 per pot seen.

Guide Review - soup bases better than bouillon

I've tried the basics of chicken, beef, vegetables and mushrooms.

Ingredients: Although in a label with flavors that are key ingredients chicken, beef, etc. are low carbers should note that sugar and corn syrup Solids, whereby one gram of carbs per teaspoon. However, a teaspoon of this stuff goes a long way.

Taste: The broth with 1 teaspoon per cup of water is salty, but slightly less than bouillon cube. The taste is "real" - I do not see a bad taste, as they sometimes do with canned broths. Two of these products were tested by Cook's Illustrated in the past, and both times went very well. In 2003, the system was tested under base second packaged broths. In 1998, the taste of the meat, the second house was beef broth (though far behind).

Use: I used these products in many recipes with good results. The advantage they have over the wine (in addition to being much cheaper) is that you can control the concentration of flavors - not a low boiling point, just the concentrate diluted directly in the pot and when needed. The only downside is that you will usually reduce or eliminate other sources of salt in the recipe.

Price: Better than Bouillon is $ 2.99 at Trader Joe's pot (only chicken flavor). I usually see, for $ 6.5 regular grocery stores. On the website, a bottle to sell for $ 7.99.

Try this delicious (and low carb) Apple Bacon ...

Preparation

A quarter cup of apple juice has spread 7 grams of sugar, more than 3 servings. It is less than any apple juice containers that you can buy, so I add a little chicken broth and water, or zero-carb sweetener sauce, or even apple-flavored tea.

Chicken breast can be left whole, halved or cut into bite. I love the small parts for the taste, but I use when pieces look is important. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.

1) Heat January-February tablespoons fat in the pan. I hate to use more than half of the bacon, because it burns. Apple slices lightly brown in a frying pan. You do not want too soft, exactly at the point where you can easily start put a fork in them. Remove the apples.

2) Add a tablespoon of oil and brown the chicken on both sides. The chicken is cooked well probably not at this point, and that is. Push the chicken to one side or the edges. Add the wine, deglaze the pan should. The remaining liquid and herbs and simmer until reduced and chicken is cooked.

3) serve with bacon on top.

Makes three servings (four or less generous portions).

Nutrition information with apple juice: Everyone has three portions 7.5 g carbohydrates and 1 gram of effective carbon fiber, 37 grams of protein and 403 calories (actually a little less, because most of the alcohol from wine to cook).

Nutrition information without apple juice: Each serving contains 5 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of effective carbon fiber, 37 grams of protein and 393 calories (actually a little less, because most of the alcohol cooks in the wine).

A little simple carbohydrates Chicken Recipe Slow Cooker ...

Updated July 11, 2014.

Rating

Cacciatore means "hunter" in Italian, so Chicken Cacciatore is literally "chicken hunter style." This dish is a bit difficult in the slow cooker because the water tends to the vegetables and the sauce left too thin. It's why I fry vegetables in advance, reduce the liquid and the tomato paste. This also speeds up the cooking time. Parmesan crust thing is something I learned from Cook's Illustrated magazine. Adds a depth of flavor in the sauce salty. This recipe is, of course, low carb chicken than a traditional jacket.

Carb-Stuffed Chicken Breasts Low

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 F.

1 The first step is to make the chicken thin enough to get rolling. There are two ways to do this: Bombings and butterflying. I believe that smaller breasts, beating well it works, but with thicker butterflying easier.

About the book: Place the chicken breasts between pieces of plastic wrap. Then, with a mallet or heavy empty bottle (such as an oil or a bottle of champagne, olive oil) or scooters, or (my favorite), a small pan with a thick bottom and pounded his chest until it is a quarter of an inch thick. Start from the center and not hammer too hard or you'll end up with holes.

Mariposa: freeze (in the freezer about 20 minutes) In the ideal case, partly the meat. Then, with a long, sharp knife (a boning knife or two jobs cook very well) begins with a narrow face and chest cut almost all the way through (1:04 a.m. to 1:02 a.m. leave centimeters). I think it's best if the meat by my whole hand stabilized (non-dominant - in my case the left) in the upper chest and press lightly. When you are finished, the chest is opened like a book.

2 the meat with salt and pepper on both sides, and then a mixture of herbs and spices on the inner surface. I am very fond of spices is Bavarian spice for this use, which is a mixture of crushed brown mustard, rosemary, garlic and some other things. Greek seasoning mixes also work well, or simply sprinkle only on everything that sounds good!

3, with about half an inch, without accessories, layer spinach, ham, cheese, spinach and top back on the chicken.

4 Roll the breast is good enough, and either secured with toothpicks or kitchen string.

Scramble 5 eggs with water in a cake pan and put the basic rinds in a separate bowl.

6 Start Heat oil in a frying pan - about 1.4 to 1.2 inches deep.

7 When the oil is hot, turn the first part of the chicken breast in the egg mixture, then coat in the rinds. Repeat with the other breast (s).

8 fry until golden brown on all sides, then place on a baking sheet until tender in the oven, set about 15 minutes. An instant read thermometer reads 155 degrees.

Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Nutritional information: Each chicken has 2 grams of carbs efficiently, six grams of fiber and 68 grams of protein. Besides cooking oil every 483 Calori

6 simple rules for the low-carb Track

Updated August 4. 2014th

Most of us carry around rules (or guidelines) for food in our heads. In fact, the rules can be very useful when it comes to food choice be - imagine if every time I went when we buy again among the tens of thousands of foods in the supermarket choose! The most important thing is to make sure that you use your power rule, not against it.

Not only are the rules to simplify the selection of food, but as time passes, they can be part of the identity of their diet. This brings its own momentum, so you can continue to make wise decisions. So what usually starts the consciousness is "so eat like I" needed with little thought. No more agonizing over the bakery section - instead, you literally have to worry about the bakery section. The cookies not only make more sense.

Here are some low carb diet rules are considering adding to your arsenal. Note that the rules would be helpful not only guides Alpha and Omega. The best rules are those that you have with you, it makes sense for you.

1.Fats are your friend

Swedish law - I like LCHF shirts I've seen with them. Low Carb with all the fat! Yes! For many of us it is the most useful thing you can take over the rule.

Most people in the United States to carry out an unwritten rule, which is the opposite of - that fats should be avoided. It's really dangerous for your diet, avoid fats, since virtually guarantees that you eat more carbohydrates instead.

Naturally, it is important to prevent unhealthy fats. Low-carb experts agree that trans fats to avoid and do not overdo omega-6 (soybean oil, corn oil, etc.) is important for a healthy diet low in carbohydrates. OTOH, saturated fats are not the problem than previously thought, and many sources of fat are actually good for us.

Although some say that sugar is toxic, literally, non-toxic in the traditional sense. But for those of us whose bodies are not concentrated sugar, the effects of sugar in our body can be very devastating in the long run. For this reason, it may be helpful to think of sugar as toxic.

3 = starch sugar

Starch is not sweet, it is easy to forget that what is inside the potato simply long chains of glucose, ready to move into our body to break down the sugar in the oven.

Particularly problematic strengths, it predigested good deal to be processed us. If I get rid of two crossings of the grocery store, I would start with sugary drinks, and then quickly go to the cereal aisle. Almost done all these cereals from grains that have been processed within an inch of its life, even if they called "whole grain". This brings me to

4 Avoid foods labeled low fat, gluten free, high protein, etc.

In principle, such a label) are an indication that this is a food produced and therefore probably contaminated and b) a manufacturer signal priority. These foods are usually high in sugars and refined starches. Even if the label "low-carb" You can have many ingredients, the suspects, some people react strongly to substances (for example, the if not installed in a food to increase technical "fiber" in nature, but blood glucose in many people turned ).

Caution: As someone who must follow a gluten-free diet, there are a handful of foods that we eat in gluten-free, for example, soy sauce. But most of the time, the term means that gluten is a food rich in carbohydrates.

5 Eat your greens

And other non-starchy vegetables. If you do not eat vegetables, this is the time to try to provide more in your diet. Not only are they loaded with nutrients and can prevent the dreaded disease, but can be really great substitute starches such as vehicles for sauces, spreads, pasta sauces, etc.

6 thinking "fat, fiber, protein"

Each time you eat, try the sources of these three nutrients that nourish and make you satisfied.

7 not too many rules!

Keep your rules simple and few. If you have to, it's like with complicated rules that do not work very well.

Also break the rules from time to time! If you think you are under their rules, they can rebel controlled. Remember your goal: The rules are part of the way you eat. You will be surprised how quickly this can happen if you give him a chance.

How you use your slow cooker to stay healthy

Updated August 30, 2014.

Written and reviewed by a Board Certified physician. See the Medical Review Board About.com.

Slow-cooking (often a slow cooker, which is actually the Rival Slow Cooker called brand) can be an excellent way to time-shift their preparation for cooking and is a cooking method that "cares" Once it is running. , Very possible, however, is to bland foods, boiled or mashed forward in a slow cooker. Here are some tips for a successful slow cooker.

What to cook in a slow cooker

Roast: One way to think of a slow cooker is like a small oven. It is good for things like roast, fried chicken and other dishes that are baked in the oven to dry heat.

Soups and stews: One way to distinguish slow ovens, however, is that it allows water to evaporate. This makes them ideal for soups and stews. The water in the meat and vegetables are coming into the kitchen by the liquid.

Cooking in a Dutch oven is difficult for courts, which have a thick sauce, and chicken cacciatore. The main problem is that the vegetables (and to a lesser extent, meat) are mostly water, so that when cooking an incredible amount of water. Using fresh ingredients, often a very thin sauce, and dilution of the other ingredients For this reason, when I do I use a bowl with a thick gravy one or more of the following techniques to avoid a sauce that is too thin:

• Cook the vegetables remove a lot of moisture in the area first. Browning the meat also there, albeit to a lesser extent.
• The ingredients to thicken or water to drink, such as tomato paste, dried vegetables, TVP, or low-carb thickeners.
• If adding a flavored liquid, such as wine or tomatoes in juice, cooking on the stove to reduce the liquid before adding to the slow cooker.

Crock Pot Tips

• Choice of meat is important, if a slow cooker is used. In general, the cuts tend to be heavy (which is also cheaper and savory) works well for long slow cooking breaks connective tissue degradation, the more difficult these cuts. Pork shoulder, brisket and chuck roasts are examples of these cuts. When cooking poultry, whole chicken or dark meat (legs, thighs) work best.
• Be prepared to adjust spices near the end of cooking - Can cooking aromas slowly and focus on others. Herbs helped in particular by adding one or two hours before the end of cooking. (More suggestions for this in How to balance the flavors in the kitchen)
• Lift the lid! Each time, if so, heat is lost and the cooking time is added.
• No make milk, cream, sour cream in the beginning of cooking, as the heat will separate long.
• If you want to brown the meat, add more flavor and fat to reduce, but not necessary. He has published more juice, if not brown.
• Frozen vegetables are partially cooked. If you use them, thaw and add to prevent boiling over in the last hour of cooking.
• Fresh vegetables cook more slowly than meat. If not pre-cooked vegetables, and not much liquid in the recipe, put the vegetables in the meat.
• Chop the vegetables and prepare the meat beforehand (as before) for rapid development. If you are cut a big piece of meat into small pieces, the butchers have to do it and ask for the cut fat at the same time. (In the supermarket, usually rings a bell to call the battle.)

By consulting with your doctor before cutting ...

Updated May 15, 2014.

You still and always hear "Before starting a new diet or exercise program, consult your physician." How many people follow this advice? Very little. But there are situations in which medical care is important during the transition to a low-carb diet. If you take certain medications, it is important that healthcare providers are aware of the change of regime, they may need to be adjusted or eliminated drug doses or medication change could be in order. This is especially true if you are being treated for diabetes or high blood pressure.

Medicines for diabetes: insulin

Anyone insulin is known, requires the direct relationship between the amount of carbohydrates consumed and the amount of insulin. Significant changes in the amount of carbohydrates in the diet should be carried out in close consultation with your doctor and / or dietitian. A diet that is low in carbohydrates less insulin, purely and simply necessary, and it is important to match the two. One of the benefits of low carb diets for insulin-dependent diabetics is what Dr. Richard Bernstein as "the law of small numbers." That's what carbohydrates, a man unless eats, the less variation of glucose, and is easier to control. In addition, the consumption of large amounts of carbohydrates may exists when a greater variation. For example, a cup of cauliflower have 3 effective grams "Books" carbs, but you can never know exactly how many carbs, it is because all the numbers are average values. You can get 2 to 4 g or 5 or 6 grams of carbohydrates in each section of the cauliflower. Compare this with an average size baked potato. The letters say it has 32 grams of carbohydrates effectively, but the potato a much wider range of possibilities. Depending on the exact size and diversity, it is possibly could range from 22 to 45 grams. This is a big difference in the amount of insulin you need to keep your blood sugar may go easier too high or too low to make.

Medicines for diabetes: hypoglycemia

There are many other medicines for diabetes that are designed to help blood sugar control. Glucophage (metformin), Avandia (rosiglitazone), Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) and many others are used for this reason.

If you already have a diet rich in carbohydrates and a low-carb eating, you probably need to adjust your medication. Many people find that the time you can control their blood sugar with diet and exercise alone and may stop taking the medication. Keep taking the same dose can cause hypoglycemia. Also medications such as metformin, which is not actually perform hypoglycemia, are known to have this effect in some people, if they change their diet. Again, you should work with your doctor to be sure.

Drugs in blood pressure

High blood pressure often at least partially with a diet low in carbohydrates corrected. Now I have heard from several people, including doctors prescribe low carb diets. Specifically for the treatment of high blood pressure The problem is that if a person is already taking medication to lower blood pressure, to obtain the.

Dr. Mary Vernon tells this story: Someone who knew his job, she knew she had high blood pressure, asked him one day if low-carb diets are safe. She said, "Yes, but not so under my supervision." Unfortunately, the man did not follow his instructions. Some time later, he called it - from the floor of his living room. I could not stand up without fainting. He was taken to the emergency room, where he met with him. Her blood pressure was dangerously low. It turned out that it was a quantity of medications to lower blood pressure, many of which were not necessary anymore.

Medicines for diabetes and hypertension are the main who need adjusting, if you reduce the carbohydrates in the diet. However, it is always a good idea with your doctor before you talk to your diet, especially if you have a chronic illness or condition, or taking medication.

Fruits

Updated August 11, 2014th

Written and reviewed by a Board Certified physician. See the Medical Review Board About.com.

Most fruits are rich in nutrients. However, some of them are also full of sugar, so that people choose their body does not process sugar and must wisely.

Fortunately, most low-sugar fruits of nutrients and antioxidants, such as fruits and melons are higher. Most consumers low-carb 1, 2 or even 3 servings of fruit a day to eat, unless they are very sensitive to sugar or are on a very low level carb plan like the Atkins plan or South Beach diet; usually the first week of this diet.

Low-carb foods you have on hand in case of emergency

Updated July 11, 2014.

Hurricanes, earthquakes and snow storms are natural disasters that take place us away from sources of food, water and energy. With a reserve of food and water is a very good idea. It is also useful when the disease strikes at home or when it is inconvenient to run to the store.

If you look at the list of emergency food, you will see a lot of foods with high starch or sugar - these foods such as cereal and crackers usually recommended. Like most of the food we eat to keep our low blood sugar levels are fresh and perishable, it can be a little more attention to a question of spending. Certainly, it is possible to obtain, if a food emergency without increase in blood sugar.

How much food in the store?

Experts used to recommend a three-day supply, but many sources have recommended a maximum of two weeks of emergency food at home. This means that you would need to keep the food you eat as part of their normal diet, and turn the food, so none of it goes bad or loses nutrient content.

Basic Plan for power outages

With food in this order:

1 Cooler - Eat the most perishable foods in the refrigerator. Meat, eggs, dairy products, mayonnaise and the like. The food should not be more than two hours more than 40 degrees F. (The only exception to the "milk" rule is hard cheeses such as Cheddar, which can last for at least a day or two, sometimes longer, before they aged badly.) If you have coolers and ice, the transfer of perishable foods more available.

Not to hurt many foods in a conventional refrigerator nearly as fast as most perishable foods. Most fruits and vegetables for several days or a week or more, depending on the holding element (

Apples, for example, have a long running time). Many spices (jams, spices, mustard, ketchup, salad dressing, oil based, etc.) will last for weeks.

2 Freezer - How long the food in the freezer is safe to eat, depends on the temperature of the room The basic rule two days (a kitchen in Florida without air conditioning in the kitchen against Michigan with not much heat.) But I have more failures, where the food was frozen in the freezer. The more food that was in the freezer when the power is interrupted, the longer it will keep.

March Pantry - The column of the food for a period of time without power is the pantry. The rest of the paper is devoted to this topic.

Protein pantry

Eating enough protein is important, not only on a low carb diet, this is an area that can be overlooked in an emergency, if it is so important to get the right diet to cope with stress and physical stress. Here are some sources of stable protein platform to have on hand:

1 can Seafood - tuna, salmon and sardines are excellent options for protein and contain omega-3 fatty acids also. The crabs, mussels and oysters are also possibilities.

2 canned meat - ham, spam, differences chicken, ham and salad

3 jerky (dried meat) - find the ones without added sugar, if you find, can

Four nuts, peanut butter and other nut butters

5 dried beans - beans are less glycemic when soaked and cook it yourself rather than eating canned food, such as resistant starch in beans beans are partially broken in the canning process.

6 cans of soybeans - particularly black soybeans

7 dry soy products - For those who can not tolerate soy, these products can be a great addition to the emergency pantry, because they last a long time. Examples are PST Dixie Diner products and meat substitutes.

8 lyophilized Foods - Although are usually used for food storage, long term, meat freeze-dried are another possibility. Camping utilities and storage of food stores usually carry. Freeze Dried Chicken: Example

9 MRE and other "complete" Shelf Stable Meals - (Meals Ready to Eat) ERM usually have a lot of carbohydrates, but if you have enough, you can see examples that may have less carbohydrates.

Vegetables

Eat more variety of vegetables as possible is important for good nutrition. Here are a few vegetables to consider for your pantry:

Canned vegetables such as:

• Tomatoes
• Pepperoni
• Artichoke hearts
• Pumpkin
• Tomato paste
• Other canned vegetables low in carbohydrates, such as green beans and spinach, if you like

Pickled vegetables, such as:

• Dill Pickles
• Italian canned vegetables and chili
• Sweet Pickles to Mount Olive Brand (no added sugar)

Pots:

• Sauces
• Pasta sauce or tomato sauce without added sugar
• Roasted peppers (rinse if there sugar in the ingredients)
• Dried tomatoes in oil (just a taste)
• Pots pesto or other sauces with vegetables and sandwich spreads

Fruits

It is difficult not to find perishable fruits. Canned fruits and dried sugar or sugar-rich rule is added to start, but there are exceptions - Read the labels carefully. Freeze-dried fruits are probably the best option, from sources such as "only" tomatoes or food storage company mentioned above. Berries and peaches are good paris. (In August 2011, Trader Joe's freeze-dried blueberries and strawberries.)

Fats

Most oils are stable up to one year when stored in a cool, dry place. Olive oil and coconut oil are good paris.

The emergency water

Water is more important than food. Without water, we would die in a few days. Here are some resources with information about water planning for emergencies:

Dairy

Updated August 11, 2014th

Written and reviewed by a Board Certified physician. See the Medical Review Board About.com.

Milk and milk products a certain amount of lactose (milk sugar). People who are sensitive to sugar, the attention to the amount of dairy products they consume to pay depending on your personal level of carbohydrates. But even for those sensitive to sugar, there are good opportunities for dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt.

If you are not eating in a position much in the way of dairy products, you should get enough calcium in other ways, eat a lot of vegetables that take rich in calcium and / or supplements.

You won & # 039; t assume that ... Ingredients

Updated August 22, 2014.

This is an updated version of an article published on my blog in March 2013

One great thing about a low carb diet is that it is in so-called "processed foods" naturally low. Moreover, it is quite possible to find foods low in processed carbohydrates, or they can at a moderate carbohydrate diet.

We all know that "processed food is bad for you" in a kind of abstract sense., Can the cereal aisle or a fast food restaurant think if we "transformed" by thinking. Eat It turns out that most of the foods in the supermarket have ingredients that are each produced in remote areas of the earth, and that the food companies are carefully combined to (they are really "food"?) Ever could make in your kitchen Home. Worse, these products have been carefully developed our brain wants to hang over them.

I read two fascinating books on the Rights of processed foods now: Pandora Lunchbox by Melanie Warner, and salt, sugar, fat by Michael Moss.

Warner opens his book with an anecdote: My husband bought some "fresh" in the grocery store at the local store guacamole. Now Warner writes about the food, and had a few ingredients that they did not know of guacamole. She put the bowl in the refrigerator to investigate with the intention, and quickly forgotten ... until nine months later, when his mother found him, opened it, and dug in! Ewwwww! But here's the kicker: you never know, the things that was so long, and his mother lived to tell! You might be thinking, "Great guacamole! With a duration of months" ... or you might suspect, as Warner. (If the food does not rot, we should all be suspicious.)

It turns out that it tested thousands of food additives that are not well tested, or at all. You should get to improve stability and durability, the mouthfeel to manipulate adding "crisis" and our taste buds and brain improves, so hopefully Addict. They often take standard ingredients separately, sometimes at the molecular level, and restored along in manufactured "food" to exact specifications. The ingredients often sound good, but if you look under the hood, are not what you think they are. The resulting edible substances are often not the food that someone would recognize live 150 years ago, but "Products" fully normalized.

It turns out that one of the U-boats U-Bahn (chicken with sweet onions Terriaki) has ... guess how many ingredients? 20? 50? 80? I will not. 100? Closer! 105 ingredients.

It turns out that if a cereal box proclaims, "rich in vitamin D," that vitamin D from the wool of sheep that had been sent from New Zealand to China, probably came. Oils are rich wool vitamin D, and this is where most of the vitamin D added to foods.

The book by Michael Moss (salt, sugar, fat) examines how food to "hook" formulated us. In researching the food industry, there was much talk of "bliss points" and how flavors hit the tongue (and brain) that somehow makes you want more. You need to have the right amount of "crisis" and "chew," also in the future for the bag of chips or cookies. Actually, it turns out that these foods (they "hyperpalatable" called) the reward centers in the brain actually trigger in a similar way to addictive substances.

In a related article in the New York Times ("The extraordinary science Junk Food Addictive"), Moss at a meeting of leaders of the food industry in 1999, it was designed to deal with the fact that contributed in terms obesity epidemic and one day could be sentenced. But she ended up thinking that his job is to sell food, not worry about diet was.

Of course, most of these foods are not only in sugar and other refined carbohydrates, but soybean oil and other oils rich in omega-6 seed, the high chronic disease that can contribute through increased inflammation. These oils in large quantities are new to the human race.

It is therefore important to understand what we are in our body. I really recommend these books if you want to know more. Both authors were interviewed for this episode of Good Food Show, starting around the 25 minute mark (you can download the episode and then come back to this point if desired).
