Clean Eating: What are the Key Ingredients in the Diet Solution Recipes?

Friday, June 10, 2011

Unlike many other diets with their slew of weight loss meals, the diet solution recipes don't require you to buy its pre-packed food, nor does it claim that cutting out carbs or fat will transform your body. Instead the Diet Solution is a system that is built upon eating clean foods that will aid in your fat loss permanently.
The wonderful thing about this diet plan is that it is a lifestyle that is easy to maintain if you simply commit to eating things from the ground and not from a lab. If you have favorite meals that you often cook for your family, there is bound to be a way to make it diet solution friendly, all you have to do is substitute a lesser quality meat, grain, or fat for a better one.
How to Turn Meatloaf into a Diet Solution Meal
One staple for families everywhere is meatloaf. And while it can be high in protein, it can also be laden with hormones, high in unhealthy sodium, and also high in saturated fat. Here is an alternate way to make this favorite while also helping you to lose weight:
Mind-your-Middle Meatloaf
1 lb. grass-fed ground buffalo
1/3 C. gluten free bread crumbs (rice-based)
1/3 C. organic ketchup
1/2 red onion (chopped finely)
Celtic Sea Salt and black pepper
1 organic egg
Add to taste: dried parsley, oregano, basil, and garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf baking pan with organic, unrefined coconut oil.  In a mixing bowl, mix all ingredients together. Place the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and shape into a loaf.  Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until done. Allow 5 minutes before slicing.
What Key Substitutes Make this a Part of a Healthy Eating Plan?
You may have noticed a couple of unique items in the recipe above. These would be: coconut oil, Celtic Sea Salt, grass fed buffalo, organic eggs, and gluten free breadcrumbs.
All of these substitutes make this meatloaf from heart hurtful, to heart friendly. And even though you may not be familiar with coconut oil it is a chock full of healthy Omega-3 fats and can give any meal a rich smooth flavor. Also, Celtic Sea Salt can take any casserole, loaf, or protein from sodium overload to pitch perfect. Celtic sea salt has essentials minerals that your body needs to stay hydrated; regular table salt is linked to high blood pressure, weight gain, and heart disease.
Another way to turn an otherwise unhealthy recipe into a diet solution friendly recipe is to always choose grass-fed protein options. This protects you and your body from harmful chemicals as well as gives you excellent, lean proteins for muscle building and maintenance. Organic eggs are also rich in naturally occurring Omega 3 fats and should be eaten often. Eggs that are not organic are high in Omega 6 fat, which is the cholesterol increasing fat that most people often associate with eggs.

GMO Foods And Ingredients - Goes Way Beyond The Top Five

Sunday, May 29, 2011

Genetically modified organisms are hitting the different news venues now on a continuous basis.

But there is still many people who can't figure out what all the fuss is about. Sure the list of GM ingredients is growing and more accepted foods are entering the market all the time. But there is still this general feeling by many people it's just not going to affect me. I don't have to worry about the following top five, I just won't use them in my daily diet.

Meat Loaf

corn soybeans sugar dairy products canola and cottonseed oils (made into vegetable oils)

Welcome To The Reality Of The Top Five

So you are still sitting on the fence in regards to GMO's. You understand the concept, you realize the advantages it could bring to the agricultural community but there is just this nagging doubt that something seems to be going wrong somewhere. You have decided to avoid them.

The use of these top five permeates the foods we eat and the products we touch every single day of our life. It is almost impossible to avoid many of these genetically modified organisms.

Everything just seemed so simple to you. I won't eat corn, can't stand soybeans and heck, sugar isn't good for me anyway. Then it's too bad, but I guess I have to give up cereal for breakfast and I like olive oil anyway. See not a problem.

But now welcome to the reality of your new life!

Corn and its Uses
adhesives on envelopes, tape, stamps etc. are all made from corn baking powder dryer sheets for your laundry coffee - instant and regular ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise any word with corn in it (corn chips, cornbread, corn flour etc.) many of the cosmetics and toiletries we purchase and use everyday processed meats from the deli counter plus hot dogs and sausage products ethanol - gasoline for your car, lawn mower, weed whacker hair products - shampoos and conditioners, gels and mousse medications and prescription drugs use corn as a filler or coatings high fructose corn syrup any vitamin supplement with vitamin E or vitamin E itself

Actually this is just a short list of corn-based products we use daily. There is actually over 100 different items we use all the time in our lives which are derived from GMO corn.

So as you can see, avoiding GMO's is not just some short list of giving up cereal, corn and soy burgers. Do not let yourself be fooled into believing you can effectively avoid contact with this ever-growing altered organism in your daily life.

Quick Healthy Dinner Ideas - 4 Key Ingredients a Healthy Sandwich Must Have

Saturday, May 21, 2011

If you already had a cooked meal for lunch, you will most likely not feel like cooking again for supper. After all, you've been working hard whole day. Now, you just want to get some food on the table quickly and then go enjoy your evening. It's anyways better to rather have a light meal instead of another big one.

Sandwiches are an excellent solution. They make great healthy filling meals but are still light - provided of course you choose low-calorie ingredients. And most of them go really quick and won't take much of your time to prepare.

Meat Loaf

There are endless possibilities of what you can put on your sandwich. Be creative! But make sure you choose from the following key ingredients:

Whole wheat bread Low calorie spreads and toppings Low calorie sauces and dressings Salad, vegetables, legumes or fruit
Whole wheat bread

Whole grain products have several advantages over processed white foods. On the one hand, they fill you much quicker and for longer because they are high in fiber. That means, especially if you eat slowly, you are very unlikely to eat too much, and you won't get hungry again quickly.

You can use whole wheat bread, rolls, toast alternating to get more variety. Maybe there are even different types of whole wheat bread available.

Low calorie spreads and toppings

What would a sandwich be without ham or cheese? That's okay. But choose lean ham and low fat cheese so that your sandwich stays healthy instead of becoming a calorie bomb. Prefer fat reduced margarine to butter and buy low calorie spreads. Low fat cottage cheese makes great spreads when you mix it with some spices. But no matter what you use, don't put too much of it on as this will add up calories.

Cooked or grilled meat that you still got in your fridge also makes great toppings for sandwiches. For example, slices of grilled chicken breast, or the rest of your meat loaf. I also love to put shredded tuna on (canned in water, not oil!). Salmon slices are a bit pricy but taste delicious on a whole wheat roll topped with sliced onions and sprinkled with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Low calorie sauces and dressings

Sauces and dressings do a great job in making your sandwich special. Choose fat reduced mayonnaise and try to avoid ready made sauces since many of them contain quite a bit of sugar. If you do want tomato sauce on, apply only a thin layer.

Alternately, you can make your own healthy sauces and dressings at home, for example a salsa from canned tomatoes, onion and green pepper.

Salad, vegetables, legumes or fruit

Don't forget to put some really healthy stuff on your sandwich! Salad leaves are great and quick. If you have cooked or grilled vegetables at hand, mash them and use them as a spread on your meat sandwich. Or slice them. Home made salsa or baked bean salad is also a good option. Sliced onions taste great on sandwiches. And if you like it sweet, why not adding slices of fruit? Or pineapple rings or peach halves?

By including a big portion of these foods, you make sure that you got low calorie toppings with plenty of vitamins and minerals. This will contribute greatly to make your sandwich a healthy and filling meal.

If it comes to preparing the sandwich, you got plenty of possibilities to make it exciting. You can make a burger, grill any kind of sandwich in the oven, use rolls today and toast tomorrow... You can even make a buffet: Just put everything on the table and allow people to make their own sandwiches. Much less work for you and much more time you can socialize with your family.
