  • Green Eggs and Ham

      • Serves: 1 Carbs Per Serving: 5-8 Prep Time: 15 mins Effort: Easy Ingredients: 2 eggs 1/4 - 1/2 avacado salt and pepper slices of ham (or bacon) How to Prepare: Hard boil the eggs and mash or chop them up while still warm. Mix with the avocado to make a green egg salad. Add salt and pepper to taste. (You can also add a little cream.) Lightly fry the slices of ham and serve with the egg salad. I like to use the egg salad chilled and roll it up in slices of cold ham like a crepe. The kids will love it!

  • Basic Meat and Eggs or Tofu

      • Carbs Per Serving: 7g total Effort: Easy Ingredients: ½ pound chicken, beef, or ham – cooked and cut according to preference OR 12 ounces tofu, firm drained very well OR 6 large eggs 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon yellow mustard ¼ cup chopped onion ¼ cup chopped celery 2 tablespoons capers – drained 3 tablespoons dill pickle – chopped How to Prepare: Note: chop meats to desired chunkiness after cooking. Leftovers work great! In a large bowl, mix desired main ingredient with remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. I like to add a little horseradish sauce to the ham or roast beef salad for some zip. For egg salad: Mix everything but the eggs well. Chop eggs to desired chunkiness and fold into mixed ingredients. Add a few drops of tabasco sauce if desired. A squeeze of lemon also goes well. For eggless salad: Mix everything but the tofu Squish tofu with your hands or with a fork until it breaks apart. Fold in with remaining ingredients. Eggless salad should sit for at least an hour, refrigerated, before serving. Lemon or a few drops soy sauce work great in tofu based salads. **personal note*** Process meats find in a food processor for more of a ‘spread’ consistency. Don’t process with the remaining ingredients until you get the meat broken down almost to the size you want. The spreads work very well on lettuce leaves for roll-ups The chunky version works great over lettuce for a salad meal. NOTES : Counts for tofu and eggs not included in totals… tofu is 10 carbs, eggs 3.6.

  • The Glycemic Index Diet

      • Written by Rick Gallop, a former President of The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, The Glycemic Index (GI) Diet claims, "if you can understand a traffic light, you'll understand this diet". Gallop divides food into three groups based on their glycemic index, how fast they cause spikes in blood sugar levels. He separates food into green light, yellow light and red light foods. Glucose is set at a GI level of 100 and all other foods are compared against it. Red light foods should be avoided, yellow light foods are avoided during the initial weight loss phase and eaten occasionally during the ongoing maintenance phase and green light foods should form the basis of your diet throughout. No special foods need to be purchased. Simply look up where your favorite foods fit in the plan, eat green, sample some yellow and avoid red. Period. Gallop says dieters should expect to lose one to two pounds per week and need not start with a crash diet. While this is a low carb diet it is not as high protein as most of the other diets and encourages dieters to cut fats as well as carbs. He also encourages exercising for 30 minutes each day and eating three balanced meals that include carbs, proteins and fats. According to Gallop, followers of the GI diet should consider it a lifestyle change that they will adhere to for the rest of their lives, not a diet. It isn't easy, though. For example consider this "Red Light foods" list and note all of the "good eats": Baked beans w/pork Refried beans Alcoholic beverages Regular soft drinks Bagels Croissants Baguettes Cake Cookies Cornbread English muffins Hamburger buns Hot dog buns Kaiser rolls Melba toast Muffins Doughnuts Pancakes Waffles Pizza Regular Granola Bars Stuffing Tortillas White bread Millet White rice Instant rice Rice cakes Cold Cereals Cream of Wheat Granola Grits Muesli Instant oatmeal Croutons Ketchup Mayonnaise Tartar sauce Cheese Chocolate milk Cottage cheese Cream Cream cheese Ice Cream Whole/2% milk Sour Cream Yogurt Butter Coconut oil Hard Margarine Lard Palm oil Peanut butter Regular salad dressing Tropical oils Vegetable shortening Cantaloupe Dates Honeydew melon Prunes Raisins Watermelon Canned fruit in syrup All
