Cabbage Soup Diet news 2006-12

2007-01-17 Pirouetting with parsnips

I sliced the parsley root while Noah prepared the carrots, rutabaga, cabbage and potato. He has two secrets; the first is that vegetables for soup should be sliced thin, the thinner the better. Thin slices mean less cooking, and as a raw-food enthusiast, Noah feels that the less cooking the better.

After a week under Noahs ministrations, long walks across the city from street to street, dancing around the apartment, eating soups and raw vegetable salads, with vegetable-and-seed mixtures spread on whole-grain loaves (with the occasional outing for a fat and juicy wurst), I felt positively lithe and graceful. In fact, I felt ready to put on pink satin ballet slippers and fluffy tutu, then pirouette on my chubby toes. Noah was kind and firm in his discouragement of this new career path; encouraging my love for dance, however, he good naturedly encouraged me to twirl on my toes around his apartment instead of in Frankfurts main square.

Beetroot soup, stuffed cabbage leaves and pierogi - dumplings stuffed with meat or vegetables such as mushroom and sauerkraut - are among the most popular items at the shop, along with juniper-smoked sausages, pork loin, bacon, herring and giant gherkins in brine. These are delivered weekly direct from Poland in jars or tins, while the pierogi are frozen and the meat is vacuum-packed. The Maslankas dont import fresh produce as the vegetables most common in Polish cuisine - beetroot, cabbage and celeriac - are already widely available in UK supermarkets.

2007-02-07 Fresh From The Garden: Make it a kale and hearty day with these winter green tricks

In a soup pot, heat oil, garlic, ginger and salt over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until garlic turns golden. Add celery and mushrooms and cook 2 minutes. Add kale, chard and cabbage, cover pan and cook until barely wilted (3-5 minutes). Add broth, bring to a simmer, add shrimp and cook until opaque (3-4 minutes). Add vinegar to taste and serve, garnished with cilantro.

Happily, these wonder greens are widely available in winter. Sadly, many people dont know how to make them tasty and appealing. To include these great greens in your daily diet, use subterfuge: Shred them finely, then sneak them into salads, toss them in stir-fries, add them to soups and stews, and tuck them into sandwiches and casseroles.

2007-02-03 Got Priobiotics

With nutrition and health, it happens all the time. Suddenly, through marketing or through increased interest from a few highly respected media personalities, certain fads or foods hit the spotlight. And while sometimes it may lead to a misinformed public blindly following a new fad (i. e. The Cabbage Soup Diet, The Ball Diet, etc. ), occasionally a few healthful gems are unearthed.

The intestinal microflora, which means the variety of bacteria in our intestines, is highly specific for each individual. These friendly bacteria begin to accumulate in our gastrointestinal (GI) tracts from infancy, and tend to remain fairly stable over time. However, our microflora develops in stages throughout our lives and are affected by diet, illness, and even environmental factors. This is important since optimal gut and digestive health is necessary for the absorption of nutrients and for removing toxins. For this reason, many health professionals feel that ingesting probiotics to further ensure GI health is beneficial.

2007-02-03 Palladium-Item Richmond, Ind.

Besides smooth green leaves or red-purplish leaves, theres also a third cabbage type, Savoy, which has crinkled green leaves. These cabbages are sweeter and have a more delicate flavor than green or red cabbages. Excellent raw in coleslaw or salads, Savoys are also good gently cooked in stir-fries or light Mediterranean-style soups.

Kales are the most primitive member of the cabbage family and grow loose leaves instead of forming heads like cabbage. Theyve been food crops since about 2000 B. C. and until the end of the Middle Ages, kale was the most common green vegetable in Europe, according to the National Garden Bureau.

2007-02-14 Dont kid yourself about no-cal muffins

You can gain weight on "no-calorie" muffins, low-fat yogurt, the cabbage soup diet or the all-you-can-eat-meat diet.

DEAR AMY: I spent the night at my friends house last weekend. "Emily" offered me some zero-calorie muffins for breakfast. I ate four of them, said thank you, and went home. Emily knows that I am on a strict diet, so when I realized that I had gained 2 pounds that morning, I felt hurt and conned. Should I confront her with the evidence or forget about it

2007-01-03 Hangover Folk Remedies

Take 2-6 teaspoonfuls of honey every twenty minutes upon awaking, depending on the severity of the hangover. Continue with the honey until you start to feel better, then take four teaspoonsful with your first meal. The potassium in the honey helps counteract the effects of the alcohol and will decrease the cravings for it. Alcoholic drinks are acidic in reaction and satisfy your natural desire for an acid, the same as coffee and tea do. If you have an alcohol problem, check your body chemistry and make appropriate changes in diet and supplementation. In addition, honey contains fructose, a type of sugar that helps your body metabolize alcohol more quickly.
