Ingredients:

One-cup warm water

One tablespoon dry yeast

½ teaspoon salt

One-teaspoon sugar

½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar

½ cup soy flour

¼ cup gluten flour (gluten flour has much fewer carbohydrates than regular flour. You can substitute high gluten bread flour if you cannot find gluten flour.)

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour.

Sift together soy and gluten flours together. Slowly add to the yeast mixture in the bowl.

Sift whole wheat flour and add it to mixture in bowl. Turn mixture slowly until dough sticks together (and not to sides of bowl). If you have a mixer or food processor that has dough hooks, these help tremendously with the mixing.

Lightly flour a board or other surface. Scoop dough into ball with floured hands and place on surface. Knead for five minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.

Place into small bread pan that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Adjust dough to fit shape of pan (loaf shape). Do not try to touch dough all the way to sides of pan. Cover with slightly dampened towel and set in a warm place (free from drafts) to rise. Let rise for two to three hours until dough has at least doubled in size and reaches top of bread pan.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Bake bread in preheated oven for one hour or until light golden brown.

The Scarsdale diet program's bread will be much denser than regular bread. Cut into thin slices. Keep unused portion in refrigerator.

In order to keep your Scarsdale diet program's bread longer (or if you would like to make multiple loaves ahead of time); you can double wrap the loaves in plastic (after you slice them thinly); and store them in the freezer. Take what you want out of the freezer, as you need it while following the Scarsdale diet programs.

Toasting the bread before consumption when on the Scarsdale diet programs makes the bread more palatable and easier to eat (the dense bread can be a bit dry and chewy).

If making your own bread is not for you; you can find some low cost options at the grocery. You should look for low fat/ low carb options that are whole wheat (never white) bread. You will lose the most weight on the Scarsdale Diet program's bread by choosing a bread that has greater than 4 grams of protein and less than 12 grams of carbohydrates.

The Scarsdale diet program's protein bread is an integral part of the diet. In order to achieve optimum weight loss while on Scarsdale diet programs, you will need to make or purchase the protein bread. The recipe offered here is relatively easy and you will not need a lot of prior baking experience.

Foods to Eat to Lower Your Cholesterol

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Lowering your cholesterol can be difficult because you do not always know what you should and should not eat. You may think you're eating the right thing, but it may contain hidden cholesterol in the form of palm or coconut oils. However, there are foods that you can eat that will lower your cholesterol.

Foods to Eat to Lower Your Cholesterol

Are you one of the people that cringe whenever someone suggests that they eat tofu? The goods news is that tofu recipes have significantly improved since the 1970's. Soy is one of the foods that have man health benefits, including the ability to lower cholesterol. You do not need to just eat tofu. Excellent sources of soy include textured vegetable proteins, soy milk, and soy cheese.

Garlic is another food that can help lower elevated cholesterol levels. If you love Italian food, this is very easy for you. Fresh garlic can be added to almost all types of cuisine. It is especially easy to add to soups, stews, and vegetables. If you do not like that taste of garlic, you can take a garlic supplement. These supplements are widely available in pharmacies and grocery stores.

Many meats are very high in saturated fats. For that reason, many doctors and nutritionists are recommending that their patients eat more vegetarian meals per week. This is becoming a very popular trend. As a result, there are more and more delicious vegetarian recipes available. Be aware, however, that you should avoid meals that include fried vegetables including tempura and the traditional preparation for eggplant parmesan.

We've all seen those commercials that encourage people to eat oatmeal because it lowers cholesterol. This is true. Increasing the amount of soluble fiber in your diet will significantly lower your cholesterol levels. Good sources of soluble fiber include oats, barley, flaxseed, sweet potatoes, apples, and carrots. If you do not care for these foods, you can also add fiber powder to your daily coffee or tea. This is a "painless" way to add more soluble fiber to your diet.

Drinking apple juice every day can also help to lower elevated cholesterol levels. Apple juice contains a high level of phenols. These phenols prevent the oxidation of LDL, meaning that the LDL will not be able to attach to the blood vessels. Instead, they will pass through the excretory system.

Changing you diet can be difficult, but the added benefits to your health will be well worth any sacrifice you make. You can even ask your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist in order to incorporate more healthy changes to your diet.

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat - A Simple Belly Fat Diet

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Getting rid of belly fat can be hard for both young and old alike. This is primarily due to the types of information that goes around about losing weight. You have probably come across some off-the-wall diets like the cabbage diet or cookie diet. It's not surprising that most diets fail because they are not meant for long term results. People who try fad diets may lose weight in the short term but almost always gain back what they've lost and then some.

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat - A Simple Belly Fat Diet

I've always believed that keeping things simple works the best. Shedding excess weight shouldn't be a complicated thing either. Your best bet is not to fall for the short-term fad diets. Losing your belly comes down to a very simple plan which involves a new way of eating and efficient, time saving exercises. I have done some research of my own and have learned that eating healthy is simply a matter of cutting out processed foods and refined sugar. It isn't as hard as it sounds.

In fact, there is a way of eating that many people follow and have no problem doing so. It is called the paleo diet (also known as the caveman diet or hunter-gatherer diet) which is short for paleolithic. Essentially, this way of eating consists of lean meat, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, nuts, and good fats. Since you are consuming good fats, you will stay satisfied throughout the day unlike other diets that leave you feeling hungry.

There is plenty of research online about the paleo diet. However, you should always consult with your doctor before starting a new way of eating. The same goes for exercise. If you haven't exercised in years, you should get your doctor's advice before jumping into it. For the most part, the best belly fat exercises involves lifting weights and circuit training (interval training.) Most people get stuck doing cardio and do very little strength training. Muscle burns calories even at rest. Therefore, the more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn.

Your exercise plan shouldn't take any more than 45 minutes tops, a few times a week. I understand that the above diet and exercise plan isn't for everyone. It may be a bit too much to handle right away. Everyone has their own fitness goals and requirements. The key is to learn how to burn fat in a way that is effective for you.

Important Facts About Cabbage

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Cabbage is a strong and easy to grow vegetable. It inexpensive, and is found in almost all parts of the world.

Important Facts About Cabbage

Cabbage has been known throughout the ages, both for its nutritional values, and for its medicinal values. It has recently become recognized that it can reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer (such as colon cancer and breast cancer).

Nutritional Facts:

Following is a short listing of the nutritional facts of cabbage:

- Cabbage helps to promote weight loss in some people. This is because of its content of Vitamin C, which helps burn fat, as well as of Vitamin B, which increases metabolism and thereby helps the body burn off fat.

- If one is looking for ingredients of a low calorie diet, cabbage is at the top of the list. One cup of cabbage only holds about 15 calories. It is definitely a weight-loss food.

- Vitamin A Content: Cabbage is a source of Vitamin A which your body needs for healthy skin and eyes.

- Vitamin C Content: Due to its relatively high amount of Vitamin C, cabbage helps boost the Immune System, as well as assisting in removing toxics from the body, and playing a role in burning fat.

- Vitamin E Content: Vitamin E is known for keeping the skin healthy, as well as for assisting oxygen uptake of the blood cells. Having sufficient amounts of Vitamin E in one's body helps to reduce acne.

- Vitamin B: An essential vitamin for your nerve system, also known to assist in reducing stress and in boosting metabolism.

- Drinking juiced cabbage is known to assist in curing stomach and intestinal ulcers.

- Cabbage is even known to help keep your skin in a healthy condition, due to its vitamin E content.

- It contains quantities of fiber and iron, which help to keep the digestive tract and colon in a healthy condition.

This is by no means a complete list of all the benefits of cabbage. It serves to give you a general outline.

In earlier times, the ashes of burnt cabbage leaves were a key ingredient in disinfectant ointments. These days, commercial disinfectants are widely available, so one need not go through motions of burning cabbage in order to disinfect a small cut. The primary benefit of cabbage in modern times comes when it is simply made part of one's diet. Special diets exist which are based on cabbage.

There are many different varieties of cabbage. Green Cabbage and Red Cabbage are the most common, and are the types we are most familiar with.

Other types include Savoy Cabbage, Bok Choy cabbage, and Nappa cabbage (which are used in many Asian dishes, but are equally useful within other recipes).

Does this mean one should switch to a diet of eating only cabbage? Of course not. There are many more vegetables with equally important nutritional ingredients.

But it including cabbage in one's diet on a regular basis can be beneficial health, weight loss, and well-being.

1000 Calorie Diet Plan Thats Simple Yet Powerful!

,
Easy Paleo Recipes :

Ok we are about go over a simple 1000 calorie diet plan that can have you losing weight at a natural steady rate. Its important that you lose weight at a steady rate otherwise you will just gain the weight back in the future.

1000 Calorie Diet Plan Thats Simple Yet Powerful!

Ok lets get started shall we? If you follow this simple little plan you should see some gradual weight loss.

Breakfast:

You want to eat 300 calories here! This will be one of your biggest meals because it raises your metabolism early in the day to aid even more fat burning. I suggest you eat a bowl of Quaker Oatmeal here along with some apple juice and a fruit of your choice. Oatmeal is full of fiber and actually makes you feel full because of its abundance of fiber.

Lunch:

Eat Around 300 calories here also. You shoul choose a lean meat thats around 120-150 calories like a piece of Salmon or lean chicken. Now add some green beans and another fruit. This should set you right at 300 calories. You can even mix things up and get something like a lean cuisine meal which are low in calories.

Mid Afternoon:

So you already have eaten 600 of the 1000 calorie diet plan calories allowed. This meal you want to eat around 200 calories. I suggest a nice decent sized sandwich for this meal because you need some carbs in your diet like bread.

Dinner:

I suggest you keep your dinner around 200-300 calories. Dont worry about how late you eat as long as its not past 9 pm at night. Eating a small meal late can actually help to raise your metabolism before bedtime. But if you eat too long you run into risking weight gain due to your metabolism naturally slowing down at night. But you should eat something in the range of 200-300 calories here such as a low calorie frozen diet meal. You could also eat some pasta here but I do not recommend it because you already got enough of your carbs in with your bread.

Basically dont feel bad if you slip up and eat say a cookie during one meal as long as you keep the calorie intake at 1000-1100 per day. Ihope this 1000 calorie diet plan has helped you see how easy it can be to lose weight. Follow this little program and you will see weight loss within a week. Its really not that hard either, good luck!
