Slim Up, Slim Down!

How powering up with the right foods slim you down for that perfect bikini body:
It’s a common misperception that you have to eat less to lose weight.  In fact, eating fewer meals lowers your metabolism and makes it hard to get those last few pounds off viagra generika kaufen.
To rev up your metabolism and burn fat, it’s best to eat 5-6 meals a day consisting of 20-25 grams of lean protein, 20-25 grams of simple carbs such as those found in non-root vegetables such as asparagus, brussel sprouts, kale, spinach, zucchini, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, watercress, eggplant, and lettuce.  Good fats like olive oil, coconut oil are calorie-dense and should be used sparingly.  ~Dr. Mylaine Riobe, Author of The Tao of Integrative Medicine and The Answer to Cancer

FODMAP for you!

The Low-FODMAP Solution

Cinizia Cuneo, MSc

With bright and colorful pictures and recipes to match, The Low FODMAP Solution by Ciniza Cuneo makes cooking lively. This book is a key resource for anyone suffering from IBS and abdominal pains. By combining a specific and personalized approach, Ciniza Cuneo’s guide reads like a discussion with a close friend. I really liked the brief explanation of the principles of the LOW FODMAP diet and the weekly chart of exact meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Low FODMAP Solution proves to be a super helpful guide for anyone seeking a healthier life.

BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS REVEALS 2016 DINNER REPORT

BHG Uncovers How the American Dinner Has Evolved

79% of Women Report Eating Dinner at Home 5+ Nights per Week

Whether you’re setting the table for a family of five or for one, making a meal at home is still high on the priority list. No matter what we’re cooking (or not cooking), we’re doing it smarter and faster, and making it a practice rather than a production. From data collected through Better Homes and Gardens’ Food Factor Study – which has polled more than 2,000 women, age-18 plus, for the past 25 years – BHG reveals insights into the food, shopping, and cooking habits of consumers in the United States. Here is what we found:

READERS ARE HEADING BACK TO THE KITCHEN IN RECORD NUMBERS

  • 79% percent of women typically eat dinner at home five or more nights a week, with 80% saying that cooking is an important part of family traditions, and 74% saying it’s a critical part of how they entertain.

DINNER HAS BECOME A FORM OF EXPRESSION

  • More than two-thirds of women in the United States say cooking is a creative outlet for them, and almost 75% regularly experiment and cook new dishes at home.

THE PANTRY HAS GONE GLOBAL

  • 63% of women like to experiment with regional or ethnic food in their cooking, with 78% always looking to bring new flavors.
  • Exotic ingredients like kimchi, tahini and cotija have become pantry staples for adventurous eaters.

READERS CRAVE COMFORT WITH A SIDE OF HEALTHY

  • 42% of women say they want to eat more healthfully – which means ingredients that are fresh, and meals that contain extra veggies.
  • Today, 59% of women declare they’re eating more healthfully than a few years ago, with 86% saying they try to control the healthfulness of the meals they prepare – making cooking at home more important than ever.

THERE’S A RENEWED INTEREST IN WHERE OUR FOOD COMES FROM

  • Consumers are growing more food at home. An additional five million households report regularly digging in and planting compared to just six years ago.
  • Gardening is the number 1 hobby of women in the United States, with nearly 1 in 5 women reporting that they grow some of their own food, and one-third of millennials reporting that they are growing edibles – whether that’s a small pot of basil on the patio or a few raised beds with a variety of produce.

With this data as a guide, BHG’s Dinner Report shares on-trend recipes, up-and-coming ingredient information, and highlights the dinner-time rituals of foodies including cookbook author Katie Workman, TV host Joanne Weir, and cookbook author Heather Christo.
