| Peanuts! http://www.peanut-institute.org/09-1..._Hungr_PR.html I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this link but I thought is was really interesting. Not only that but I will stand behind it 100% Someone told me that if you eat a handful of peanuts in the morning they not only give you enough energy for an entire day, (not that you should only eat them) but you aren't as hungry later. I tried it and it's true. On days I snack on peanuts I don't eat nearly as much, especially sugary things I normally love and I can go hours without being hungry. Just from one handful! Now I read they might be good for me. Yay! |

Hi everyone, I do weight watchers. My co-worker got the new book for Christmas and let me copy all the recipies I wanted. I can share them with you if you like. Rather than flood the board with them, email me or catch me on yahoo messenger. The user name is the same there. Happy New Year and and may God bless you in more ways than you can imagine. Janet |

| Good Books for Wheat, Sugar Sensitivities Quote:
The Self-Healing Cookbook by Kristina Turner - great macrobiotic recipes and information on how food effects moods. The Yeast Connection Cookbook - great for learning how to cook all kinds of vegetables & the recipes are decent. Not as good as the Self-Healing Coookbook, unless you know how to substitute. The Body Ecology Diet by Donna Gates - excellent book to help heal digestion. It's especially good for people like me, healing my digestion after years of bulimia. Good information & recipes. I'd be happy to share more information on recipes I've used and liked if you are interested. Warmly, Heather http://TranscendBulimia.com | |

Organic foods tend to be higher in nutrients and more healing, which means your body is satisfied with less food. I'm not a proponent of counting calories after having recovered from an eating disorder where counting everything was my obsession. I am now free of counting & have learned to eat what is right for me. I'm still working on this and learning every day -- but breaking free from counting has been the best thing that ever happened to me. Instead of following everyone else's plan, I have learned to trust my body to guide me. I believe we all can -- and that the media and the hugely profitable diet culture has led us to believe otherwise. I follow an organic, whole foods eating philosophy that emphasizes mostly vegetables at each meal and it's helped me lose sugar and flour cravings (I do eat grains, fish & other protein also). Other things that have helped me are understanding the ph of foods (acid and alkaline). Most people with addictions, like me, have overly acidic bodies, which causes inflamation and illness. I have worked to bring my body back to normal by eating more alkaline meals (vegetables would fit here). I can say that it's helped my digestion, my moods and my alertness. Warmly, Heather http://TranscendBulimia.com |

Pear Spice Muffins Add: 1 can unsweetened pears, drained, rinsed and mashed with a potato masher ½ c. raisins 2 t. cinnamon Pineapple Muffins Add: 1 can unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained and rinsed Banana Muffins Add: 3 ripe, mashed bananas Suggestions: (I haven't tried this one yet) Oatmeal Apple Spice Muffins Add: 1 can unsweetened applesauce ½ c raisins ½ c oatmeal 2 t cinnamon Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin pans. Fill the muffins cups to full. This mixture does not expand to overflow the muffin tins while baking. Bake for 20 minutes. Muffins will come out golden brown. Loosen edges of muffins before removing Each recipe makes 1 dozen muffins. Those with sensitivities to wheat may want to try an alternative to the whole wheat flour. These are heavy muffins Approx. 135 calories each Approx. 5 grams protein each.

| Recipe: Orange dream Dietitian's tip: Whip up this frothy cooler in minutes — it tastes like an old-fashioned Creamsicle. For best results, start with ice-cold soy milk and use freshly squeezed orange juice. Creamy, custard-like silken tofu adds extra body. For additional calcium, use calcium-fortified orange juice. SERVES 4 Ingredients 1 1/2 cups orange juice, chilled 1 cup light vanilla soy milk (soya milk), chilled 1/3 cup silken or soft tofu 1 tablespoon dark honey 1 teaspoon grated orange zest 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ice cubes 4 peeled orange segments Directions In a blender, combine the orange juice, soy milk, tofu, honey, orange zest, vanilla and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds. Pour into tall, chilled glasses and garnish each glass with an orange segment.

I just got a few recipes that are from the Mediterranean Diet in my email. I think I'll try some, they look so good. They are certainly nutritious, and low budget, too. And the beauty of the Mediterranean Diet is that it's so healthy for us! Especially if we are dealing with pre-diabetes, (like I used to be), or diabetes, this is the recommended diet. So, might as well make it part of a healthy lifestyle *before* we become ill, yes? Pasta and Mixed greens Spinach is a highly nutritious leafy green that is extolled for its high iron and calcium content. Due to its pronounced taste, it is best mixed with other greens. Wash all leafy vegetables carefully and check for insect infestation before using. (I grow my own spinach, organically.) 1 small onion, chopped 1 tsp olive oil 1/2 lb fresh spinach, cut into strips 3 leaves red Swiss chard, cut into strips 3 leaves bok choy, cut into strips 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 Tbsp. cornstarch, dissolved in 1/2 cup of water. Chop and saute onion and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add the spinach, Swiss chard and bok choy. Cook for about 5-8 minutes stirring often. Add 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/4 cup water mixture, stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Add more water or cornstarch if necessary for a gravy like consistency. Serve over a bed of wide noodles or your favorite choice of pasta. Feel free to drizzle some hummus over this dish. Enjoy! Preparation: 30 minutes. Serves 4 Shalom!
