High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

[Corkey]

Omega-3 include ocean fish like tuna and salmon. Some companies are making gluten free pastas, just have to look hard for them. Be careful with fish from the gulf as studies are showing oil from the spill making it into the higher food chain. Trout is a good substitute. Farm fish I am totally against, but finding sustainable resources is best.

Poached salmon with capers/grape tomatoes and feta gluten free linguini.

Salmon filet boned and skin on
dill weed
butter(real)
lemon butter seasoning
lemon or lime juice

Season fish and use aluminum foil to make a packet, put used lemon half or lime half in with fish, skin side down. Make sure packet is tightly sealed.

In a 12 inch fry pan add 1/2
water, bring to a boil and place packet in water.
Heat through for approximately 16 minutes.

Let sit for about 5 minutes before opening packet, it will be hot,
Remove filet from skin and serve with pasta, feta and capers.

Make pasta and use olive oil stir in feta until creamy, or most of feta has melted, add rinsed capers/grape tomatoes.

Speaking of salmon...

Salmon Muffins

1 can salmon, drained and shredded (I also pick out most bones and skin)
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
2 or 3 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheddar (or whatever cheese you prefer)



Mix everything together. This is salty enough for us; you might want to add more. Pam-spray a muffin tin and plop a muffin's worth of salmon into each cup. This makes about six bigger muffins. Bake at 325 until egg sets—about 20 or 25 mins. They aren't greasy when made like this and can be eaten hot or cold. Good with a scoop of Greek yogurt or sour cream. sometimes I add a bit of flax meal to this recipe.

Preheat oven to 350

Buy whatever types/amount of chicken you desire, I use thighs or legs or a mix of both.Wash well in cold water.
Place chicken in a casserole type dish. Pour in a low fat salsa, preferably one that is either homemade or organic with zero sugars, and cook for 45- 60 minutes.

30 minutes into cooking, add broccoli and asparagus, fresh works great. Make sure veggies are kept moist and keep chicken and veggies covered with tin-foil.

10 minutes before serving, add in some cottage cheese. stir it up and serve.

It is delicious! :-)

While waiting to boil preheat oven to 350*
When pot is boiling put covered pot in oven for 2 1/2 hours keeping ribs covered with liquid through out. If more liquid is needed add hot water to cover ribs. Stir occasionally.

Remove from oven and let set for 15 minutes, there may be some fat from the ribs to skim off top.
Serve over creamy polenta.

Makes enough for 4-6 people or in my case a small army.

I have the chicken but do you keep the skins on I don't, don't want the fat but the salsa sounds good and the cottage cheese will have to pass maybe mascapone cheese instead would work for me.

I remove the skin and the fat on chicken.

i been tryin to hunt up a really good video i seen on this ..... but ha .. just cant seem to locate it....
it was also explaining how super markets are layed out and how you should shop them..... being most of all the foods you should eat should come from the ground.. natural .. and how to stay to the outside of the isle's .. down all them isle's are mostly all processed foods...i dont remember all the details.
but when or if i do come across the video i'll post it.

i dont think we should even think of the word diet... as going on a diet....
i believe we need to learn portion control and a diet should be something you can live with for the rest of your life.
Good" carbs are not processed and contain a fair amount fiber (i.e. whole grain bread, oatmeal and whole-grain cereals, legumes, veggies, fruits, etc.) "Bad" carbs are refined or processed (i.e. white bread, white pasta, soda, sugary foods, including ice cream).

It is recommended that you select whole-grain carbs over sugary or processed carbs. However, you can incorporate small portions of refined carbs into your diet on occasion and still lose weight. The key will be small portions.

Remember, all calories count when you are trying to lose weight -- whether you are on a low-carb diet or low -fat diet.

List of Good Carbs and Bad CarbsOverview
Good carbohydrates provide the body with vitamins, minerals, fiber and nutrients. Bad carbohydrates have little or no nutritional value, are high in sugar and often higher in calories.

Good Carbs
Good carbohydrates include oatmeal, brown rice, 100 percent whole wheat breads and buckwheat. These items are considered whole grains, or complex carbohydrates. Whole grains have several B vitamins, minerals and are full of fiber. They keep you full for long periods of time and reduce or prevent constipation.

Bad Carbs
Bad carbohydrates include white bread, white rice, corn tortillas, pretzels and white pasta. These are refined grains in which the fiber and nutrients have been removed. Unless they are enriched (certain B vitamins and iron added back in), these items produce more calories than anything else.

Vegetables
Good vegetable carbohydrates include dark-green leafy vegetables, legumes (beans, peas and seeds), sweet potatoes, parsnips and yams. These items provide vitamins such as protein, thiamine, folic acid, vitamin E and fiber.

Sweets
Baked desserts and other sweet carbohydrates include cakes, muffins, candy, syrups and soft drinks. These items are known as "empty calories" because they provide little or no nutritional value, are sweetened mostly with simple sugars, and often lead to weight gain.

Fruit and Dairy
Fruit, milk, cheese and yogurt provide necessary vitamins such as calcium, folic acid, iron and/or protein.
