Bruschetta topped chicken breast

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:09:21 GMT

clipped by: saved1

Here is my basic bruschetta topping (add to toasted bread swiped with garlic):

8 plum tomatoes, cut into small dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup red onion, minced
3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil

kosher salt

If you are watching your calories, you can grill the chicken instead of breading it.

You can make this ahead and reheat at 350F for 15 minutes.

This will cook the tomatoes and vinegar and break down the acidity a bit.

clipper's remarks: Getting great-looking abs is all about eating the right foods and doing the right workouts. Functional ab training beats ab isolation exercises because it burns more calories in less time, meaning less body fat and a leaner midsection.

The typical burger, soda and fries that you and I ate as kids contain an average of 214 more calories today than that same meal did in the 1970s—enough to add at least 3 pounds of weight a year to your child's body, even if he or she ate that fast-food meal just once a week.

Tomatoes 'stop you getting fat'

Tomatoes 'stop you getting fat'

Tomatoes could be the key to staying slim, researchers believe, helping dieters to feel fuller for longer.

Nutritionists have long recognised that vegetarians and others who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables are much more likely to be slim than those drawn to a standard modern diet of highly processed foods.

But now it seems it is not just down to the fact that fruit and vegetables contain fewer calories.

Tomatoes are rich in the compound lycopene, which scientists believe may help to make people feel more full by lowering appetite hormones.

"It was a small study, and we can't yet say what the crucial tomato ingredient is, but the results were statistically significant," Dr Julie Lovegrove, a specialist in nutritional metabolism who is leading the project, said.

Alternative weight loss

clipper's remarks: There are tons of way to lose weight. Some include changing what you eat, like the Adkins diet or Southbeach Diet, others include protein shakes, or utterly starving yourself. The tried and true is obviously burn off more calories than you take in...but there are cases where that's not enough. Don't starve yourself and burn off 2000 calories in a day, that's dangerous and will be more detrimental to your body.

Often times, diets and weight loss pills taken in America have adverse side effects like malnutrition, decrease in energy, depletion of the organ energies, over acidity within the body…a price you shouldn’t pay for losing weight and feeling good about yourself. What some have also found out is the body usually jumps back worse off than before the diet or pills.

Calorie Shifting

1. Always eat a different total amount of calories daily. As an example, one day you might consume 2000 calories, then the next day you will only consume 1800 calories. The third day you would consume 1600 calories. On the fourth day you would consume 1400 calories and on the fifth day you would cosume 2000 calories again.

To further illustrate this important part of any successful weight loss

plan, we have drawn up a sample of how you might eat for the next one week period:

Monday: 2000 Calories Total - Breakfast = 700, Lunch = 650, Dinner = 650

Tuesday: 1800 Calories Total - Breakfast = 600, Lunch = 700, Dinner = 500

Wednesday: 1600 Calories Total - Breakfast = 700, Lunch = 500, Dinner = 600

Thursday: 1400 Calories Total - Breakfast = 450, Lunch = 450, Dinner = 500

As you can now see, your body won't be allowed to adapt to eating a certain number of calories at any one meal, as well as not allowing your body to adapt to any one amount of total calories each day.

Where They Grow our Junk Food in Ontario, Canada

Where they grow our junk food

Our reporter went looking for the farms that produce the raw materials for junk food and found that they take up almost half of the cropland in Ontario

Follow the flow of food. That's what any farmer will tell you. Because apples don't grow in supermarkets.

So to get to the root of the exploding obesity epidemic, I went in search of a junk food farm.

Such farms are not so easy to spot. No fields of Dorito bags waving in the breeze, no orchards blooming with soda pop, no soil bursting with 99-cent burgers.

What you do see are vast operations growing the raw materials for junk food: soybeans and corn.

The two crops go into the production of many things: pharmaceuticals, industrial products, animal feed – and inexpensive calories.

Tonnes of soybeans and corn are turned into "edible food-like substances," as food system critic Michael Pollan calls them, used in virtually all processed foods, beverages and junk food.

Peanut butter: a super sports food

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:04:29 GMT

clipped by: Lexica

Clip Source: www.jeffgalloway.com

In this day and age of energy bars, protein powders and weight gain shakes, many runners forget about “real” foods, such as peanut butter

one of the best sports foods around

The protein and fiber in peanut butter “sticks to your ribs”

keep you feeling fed

the more often you eat peanut butter (and nuts), the lower your risk of heart disease

an affordable source of calories

The cost of 200 calories of peanut butter is about 15¢, far less than the $1.49 you’d spend on 200 calories of an energy bar... and generally, the peanut butter is far tastier!

a source of protein, needed to build and repair muscles

a reasonable source of vitamins, minerals and other health-protective food compounds

contains fiber

mostly health-protective mono- and polyunsaturated fats

Peanut butter is a poor source of the carbohydrates needed for muscle fuel.
Don’t try to subsist on peanut butter by the spoonful!

combines nicely with banana, bread, apples, oatmeal, crackers, raisins, and even pasta (as in Thai noodle dishes)

Eating for athletic endurance: what, when, why

Even if you eat five minutes before exercise, you’ll digest the snack and burn it during exercise, assuming you will be exercising at a pace you can maintain for more than 30 minutes

target 0.5 grams carbohydrate per pound of body weight within the hour before you exercise

if you weigh 150 pounds, you should target about 300 calories

teach your intestinal track to tolerate the pre-exercise food so you can enjoy higher energy but avoid undesired pit stops

If you are exercising longer than an hour, plan to consume carbs and fluids during exercise

about 100 to 250 calories of carbohydrates per hour after the first hour of a 2 or 3 hour event

fuel your muscles, maintain a normal blood sugar and prevent the dreaded bonk

Do NOT "hold off" until after your workout to eat

Your body doesn't care if you ingest solid or liquid carbohydrates

learn which sports snacks settle best for your body

if you workout hard twice a day, you should consume post-exercise carbohydrates as soon as tolerable
