Are All Vegetables the Same?

The list below are of fruits and veggies that you need to include and not include in your diet. Check it out...


Conventional Fruit and Vegetable have Pesticides

Of the 43 different fruit and vegetable categories tested by the Environmental Working Group and included in their Shoppers' Guide to Pesticides in Produce, these 12 fruits and vegetables had the highest pesticide load, making them the most important to buy or grow organic:

Peaches ~Apples~Sweet bell peppers~ Celery ~ Nectarines ~ Strawberries~Cherries~Lettuce~Grapes (imported) ~ Pears ~ Spinach ~ Potatoes

In contrast, these foods were found to have the lowest residual pesticide load, making them the safest bet among conventionally grown vegetables:

• Broccoli ~ Eggplant ~Cabbage ~Banana ~Kiwi ~ Asparagus ~ Sweet peas (frozen)~ Mango ~ Pineapple ~Sweet corn (frozen) ~ Avocado ~ Onion

So if you need to work within a certain budget, use this information to help guide you to the best choices when it comes to lowering your overall pesticide exposure.Do you like this article???

For all you Nuts out there

        Are you nuts?   Eat Nuts for a Trim Belly

Want to trick your mind into eating less? Have a handful of nuts every day, says a new study from the University of Barcelona and if you care Dr. Oz says. Not only are nuts an excellent source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, they also increase your levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and appetite (it has also been called the “happy hormone.")

During the study, the researchers compared subjects who ate one ounce of raw, unpeeled walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts a day for 12 weeks to another group that ate no nuts. All of the subjects were overweight in the midsection. Those who ate the nuts had higher levels of serotonin at the end of the study.

The trick, the researchers say, is keeping the serving small—about 30 grams, which fits into the palm of most people’s hands. And let’s not overlook how the nuts were prepared—they weren't. No honey glaze, sea salt, oven-roasted, chocolate-covered offerings were used. But if the raw variety will keep the pounds away and keep our moods light, I'm willing to make this a daily habit. How about you?

Eat 5-6 times per day...I know you know this...

 Eat 5-6 times per day. 



 Do not allow your blood sugar levels to drop in between meals. By eating more often and eating the right types of foods that are on the low end of the glycemic index, you can keep your blood sugar levels more even throughout the day and ensure that you are not getting those mid-afternoon yawns while also helping keep the excess weight off.       

Remember that when you spike your blood sugar by eating simple sugars and refined carbohydrates, this will potentially cause your body to store fat!

Broccoli Beef

Broccoli Beef This is a great recipe, mainly because broccoli is cheap and beef could be sliced thinly to stretch and feed unexpected guests.

So, how do you get the broccoli crisp-tender and the beef juicy, succulent? Well, the secret is to blanch (boil) the broccoli first, before stir frying the beef. This helps you control the cooking times for the broccoli, instead of praying that the broccoli and beef finish cooking at the same time. You’ll add the broccoli back into the pan as the beef finishes cooking.

And how do you prevent the garlic from burning? Most recipes will have you add the garlic in the pan or wok before you add the beef. If you do this, you’ll surely burn your garlic, as the beef takes about 1 minute to 1 ½ minutes to cook through on high heat. In this recipe, you’ll add the garlic after you add the beef. There should be plenty of oil in the wok to fry the garlic (if you use a large frying pan or wok) and the timing will be perfect.

Broccoli Beef Recipe

INGREDIENTS (everything I list is either organic or no hormone all natural)

• 3/4 pound flank or sirloin, sliced thinly across the grain
• 3/4 pound broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 2 cloves garlic, very finely minced or smushed through garlic smusher
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

For the beef marinade

• 1 teaspoon Braggs alternative soy souce
• 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the sauce

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 tablespoon Braggs
• 1/4 cup chicken broth

METHOD

1 Marinate the beef: Stir together the beef marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the beef slices and stir until coated. Let stand for 10 minutes

2 Prepare the sauce: Stir together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

3 Blanch the broccoli: Cook the broccoli in a small pot of boiling, salted water until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

4 Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat until a bead of water sizzles and instantly evaporates upon contact. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add the beef and immediately spread the beef out all over the surface of the wok or pan in a single layer (preferably not touching). Let the beef fry undisturbed for 1 minute. Flip the beef slices over, add the garlic to the pan and fry for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until no longer pink, Pour in the sauce, add the blanched broccoli and bring to a boil. Pour in the dissolved cornstarch and cook, stirring, until the sauce boils and thickens, 30 seconds.

Knowing how many calories you burn

 IMPORTANCE : Wow!
Knowing the calories you are burning can go a long way in helping you reach your weight loss or fitness goals. For every 3,500 calories you burn you can lose 1 lb. of weight.


The amount of calories you burn during any exercise is based on your weight, intensity of the activity, type of activity and the duration. According to What's Cooking America, you can find out how many calories you burn in one minute doing any exercise by multiplying .096 by your weight in pounds. 

For example, someone who weights 150 lb. would determine that .096 x 150 = 14.4 calories per minute. To find out how long you have to do an exercise to reach 3,500 calories you would then divide 3,500 by the answer from the previous equation. Therefore, 3,500/14.4 = 243. minutes...
