Shopping for Protein
Protein helps with your weight loss because it helps keep you feeling satisfied after you eat. With such a wide variety of protein options you want to make sure you choose wisely. You want to look for low-fat or lean options to help you stay within your daily needs.
Here are some suggestions for when you are shopping for your protein:
Poultry (chicken, turkey, etc.) should be skinless.
Meats should be lean cuts such as: round top, sirloin and tenderloin.
Fish should be fresh and look for types that are high in omega-3s such as wild salmon.
Eggs, nuts and seeds are also good protein options.
Canned beans are an easy protein to keep on hand and can be added to salads and soups.
Tofu and soy products, such as veggie burgers and soy crumbles, are good vegetarian proteins.
Most importantly with protein is to be aware of your serving size. The serving size for most proteins is 3 ounces which is approximately the size of a deck of cards. Use a kitchen scale, to measure the cooked weight to help you with portion control.

Why Grain Products Are Good For YouMarch 23rd, 2008 . by Food Blogger Posted in Healthy Foods
Grain products include bread, rice, cereal, and pasta. These are an essential part of your diet because they are important sources beneficial carbohydrates, like starch and fiber, along with vitamins and minerals.
Some people believe that starchy food like breads, pasta, and rice are fattening. This is not necessarily so, particularly if you eat whole meal or whole grain breads and brown rice. However, when you add fats like margarine, mayonnaise, cheese sauce, oil, or gravy to them, then you can quickly elevate the calorie level of the food.
Whole-grain foods have more fiber and less starch than white grain foods.
Whole-grain foods include brown rice, oatmeal, corn tortillas, and whole wheat and whole grain bread.
This group is at the bottom of the pyramid. This means that the foods in this group should make up the biggest part of what you eat each day.

Ideas for the food you eat

place to visit I have why don't you have a look here is a recent post
they have done.

Passion Fruit Onion

We used to make a grapefruit, onion, and lovage relish. We made a dark caramel and added minced onions and ruby grapefruit segments and slowly cooked the ingredients into a rich relish. A sachet of lovage infused everything with a cleansing, bitter celery note. We paired this relish with a watermelon cube, lime salt and balsamic syrup as an amusebouche when we were in Maine.

Several months ago we dined at wd-50 and were served a hamachi tartare with a grapefruit-shallot condiment. This condiment had a clarity and unique balance which struck a chord. Its color and brightness seemed to be a more refined version of the relish we conjured up years ago. There was also no accent of lovage, though why would there be, these condiments were created by two different individuals with different palates and goals for the end composition.

After enjoying the grapefruit-shallot condiment I was re-inspired by the combination of allium and acidity. I started looking at possibilities. One idea which has continued to capture my attention is the combination of passion fruit and onions. We borrowed theories from our initial relish and from the one we experienced more recently and cooked onions down in passion fruit juice. A pinch of salt and a slow reduction yielded an incredibly decadent passion fruit and onion relish.

We paired this bold condiment with a seared scallop and a schmear of our brown butter puree. It is amazing the true luxury of tastes that develop when combining a few simple ingredients.

Healthy weight loss

Hello everyone and a very Happy Easter Sunday to you all.
Just to let you know about this blog I have come across.
Here is a part of her most recent post. To find out more

Nothing feels as good as...

Every once in a while, I read an article that just gets my veins throbbing. And a blog post is usually close behind that experience...

Today on msn.ca, Philadelphia Life & Wellness Coach, Kelly Bliss, was featured in a story, telling you all to abandon your diets. "You can't have good self care if you hate yourself," Kelly espouses. She says that the problem is not the weight, and that the "war on obesity" is not the answer.

So are here my thoughts on the subject, now that I've calmed down...

First of all, I believe in self-love. Neither hate of others nor self-hate can be the precursor for personal growth, self-development, and positive outcomes.

But second of all, being overweight is not pretty, it's not healthy, it's not easy on you, and it doesn't make you feel good about yourself.

It is also not your fault. It is the fault of the food processing industry, and the fast-food establishments, restaurants and convenience stores of the world. They make fortunes when they appeal to a combination of the following five human weaknesses:

1. Time: No one has any time any more. Food manufacturers know that you will buy almost anything thing that is quick and easy, in your efforts to be more productive with your time.
2. Knowledge Part 1: No one can be an expert on every topic. I don't know how to fix a car. I don't know how to put in a new outlet for my home phone. I don't know how to sew my own clothing. Do you know enough about nutrition and it's effect on the body? How do you learn more? What you don't know is hurting you.
3. Knowledge Part 2: Very few of us know anything about what is going on in the food industry, nor do we realize what's in our food, what decisions the government and food manufacturers are making about our food supply, or who runs what... Is your trust mis-placed? (to learn more, go to www.thefutureoffood.com )
4. The Yumminess Factor: Everyone likes to eat things that taste good. Since you were born, you've been savouring food you like, and spitting out food you don't like. You might say that your palate runs you, or that you make all of your food decisions on how things taste. If you knew where some of those yummy flavours were coming from, and what processed food is actually doing to you, you would think twice before allowing taste to exclusively dictate your choice of foods.
5. Frugality: We all want to get the most for our money. Would it surprise you to know that a restaurant's most economical way to get your attention is to increase their portion sizes? That's cheaper for them than hiring more staff, buying better quality ingredients, renovating, increasing their advertising, or moving to a better location. But do you need all that food?
