DASH Diet and Weight Loss

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:23:22 GMT

One thing I really appreciated about this diet - you can include low fat dairy foods such as cheese and milk, which can really help to add variety and make you feel less deprived. There's evidence that the calcium content helps shift that stubbon spare tire of fat around the midriff.

DASH Diet Menus

A diet that gives you Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin with Light Cream Cheese at breakfast; Coleslaw, Minestrone Soup and Turkey and Light Swiss Cheese on Wholewheat smothered with Cranberry Sauce at lunch; Grilled Salmon, Italian Bread dipped in Olive Oil, New Potatoes, Haricots Verts and a Very Berry Sundae for dessert? It all sounds delicious, and you know you won't go hungry.

Ultra-healthy, and including lots of lovely things to eat, The DASH Diet is what we should all be eating.

Apple Pumpkin Soup

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:12:28 GMT

Squeezed on to the sofa between two black cats curled up like apostrophes, consuming a late evening snack of Pumpkin Apple Soup, last of the pumpkin-soupathon of last weekend. It's matured rather well, and the sweet undertow of fruit is just the thing, at a time of night when thoughts can all too easily turn to chocolate... Pumpkin Apple Soup

Buy an extra pumpkin when you're preparing for Halloween, and use it to make this warming pumpkin soup. This recipe is ridiculously easy and the soup has such a creamy texture you'd never believe it was fat-free.
