In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a perfect (and healthy) Fourth of July dessert–her Strawberry-Blueberry Parfait! It is colorful (red, white, and blue), dramatic, and delicious! And super easy to make!!! Ingredients: 2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, dried (with paper towel), and quartered 2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and dried 2 tablespoons Spleda (or sugar or other artificial sweetener) 1 carton strawberry glaze (I used sugar-free.) 8 oz. carton frozen whipped topping, thawed (I used fat-free.) Add 1 tablespoon of Splenda to 2 cups strawberries and stir. Also add 1 tablespoon of Splenda to 2 cups of blueberries and stir. For a pretty parfait, you will need an appropriate clear glass. I used a sundae glass. In the bottom, place a small amount of whipped topping. Next, put a few small strawberry slices, followed by strawberry glaze. Then, put a few blueberries on top of the glaze. When you put these layers in the glass, make sure that each layer can be seen all around the glass. Repeat this layering, up to the last layer. For the last layer, place a generous amount of whipped topping, and then top it off with strawberry slices and blueberries (no glaze, because it would kill the effect of the whipped topping at the top). Done! It’s that easy! It is perfect for the 4th of July, but is very elegant for a fancy summer party!! Happy 4th!!!–BG

Medjool Dates a Powerfood and a Tasty Dessert

Medjool Dates a Powerfood and a Tasty Dessert
Statistically the best way to stay healthy is eat well and exercise. A very number of deaths is attributed to poor food choices and lack of exercise. When it comes to choosing food too many of us eat processed foods heavy on fats, sugars, and preservatives. We cannot all eat well, because there is simply not enough food for all of us to eat healthy food. If suddenly everyone decided to eat a healthy diet consisting of no processed foods or refined sugars, there would literally not be enough food to go around. The reason we all eat a lot of junk food may be due to the fact that there is just not enough healthy food to go around.
Healthy foods are natural foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low fat meats. When choosing natural foods we also have many choices, some foods carry a lot of nutritional value others not so much. Among the best natural foods are such fruits as blueberries, guava, and medjool dates. Medjool dates are not widely known in the United States and even if you have eaten Medjool dates you may not know what you were eating. Medjool dates have actually been around for a long time. Date palms have been around for about 5,000 to 8,000 years. The dates were and continue to be part of the staple diet of many persons through out the Middle East. There are many positive connections between the regular consumption of dates and absence of several illnesses. The Medjool Date is one of several power foods, because of its very high content of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and potassium. The Medjool Date is an excellent dessert, because it is very sweet and it has a lot of nutrients. The sugar content of ripe dates is about 70-80%. There is a link between the regular consumption of dates a lower risk of heart disease and lower rate of cancer. The Medjool Date is a dessert date in the United States and the Middle East. Other less sweet dates are also commonly eaten in the middle east and considered bread dates. Dates also have cleansing characteristics and used the keep the stomach regular.
Bananas are often eaten because of the high potassium content, but they are actually not as high as dates. Dates will likely gain more and more importance as the amount of quality farming land becomes less available. This is because dates grow in very hot areas with every dry climates or deserts. The Medjool Date is not grown as much as other dates, because it is dessert date, but it is grown in the United States in the Southern Part of California where it is desert and also in Arizona. Often farmers want to start date farms in coastal areas and while the date palm may be successful the production of dates will not be, because these are not typical palms. Date palms require dry conditions and also a lot of water. When there is insufficient water the production of dates declines or none are produced and a lot of rain ruins the crop. In the few places where the medjool date is grown the dates wrapped to keep insects out and to protect it from the rain. Generally speaking medjool dates and all other dates are organic, because there is no need for pesticides. The use of pesticides is rare in most date farms.

Eat More Vegetables – 12 Easy Sneaky Ways to Get More Vegetables on Your Plate

Eat More Vegetables – 12 Easy Sneaky Ways to Get More Vegetables on Your Plate
Do you get 5-12 servings of fruits and vegetables every day?
I bet you would love to get your family eating more fruits and vegetables (and yourself too!) The latest recommendation is 5 – 12 servings and I am pretty sure MOST people don’t eat nearly that!
I have some really sneaky ways to hide fruit and vegetable servings!
I don’t find it difficult to personally get my recommended fruits and vegetables. My house is loaded with fresh produce of all descriptions. I have fresh watermelon, honey dew melon, cantaloupe, pears, apples (red delicious and granny smith), naval oranges, tangerines, blueberries, green and red grapes, bananas, a mango, black plums, nectarines, lemons, limes, avocado… and I am probably missing something. I also have several bags of frozen fruits in the freezer (mostly berries). That’s just the fruit!
I won’t begin to list all the fresh vegetables I have on hand… I know I would miss a lot. Health is not, however, about what I eat today (or what my family eats today). Health is about what we eat consistently over time. Each day of getting an abundance of fresh whole fruits and vegetables adds up to the grand total that will make a difference over the entire course of your life. It will affect how you feel, how you look, how you move, how you respond to viruses, how you fight off things like cancer. It is important that you pay attention to this now. It is not too late to start eating more fruits and vegetables.
As a mom, I found a number of creative ways over the years to get extra servings of vegetables into meals and snacks. You know the obvious ways, i.e. salads, veggie side dishes, and fresh fruit snacks or desserts, but these can get boring or tedious.
Here are 12 ways to make sure you get more fruits and vegetables.
Use grated vegetables in pasta sauces – When I used a canned pasta sauce I always saute onions, garlic, fresh mushrooms, green and red peppers and add the sauce with or with out browned ground beef, but I ALSO grate several large carrots to put in. Carrots give the sauce a real fresh flavored lift and the tomato sauce disguises the carrot flavor. To this day my family does not know I put carrots in their pasta sauce.
Grated vegetables are also good in meat loaf or hamburger patties.
When having spaghetti, grate a zucchini or 2 lengthwise and add it to the long noodles. If you peeled it they may not even know!
Mix grated vegetables (carrots, onions, into salad dressings or sour cream and use as a veggie or corn chip dip.
Smoothies – Using fresh or frozen berries as a base throw in some flax seed oil, a banana, and some melon (water melon, honey dew or cantaloupe) Then for more liquid JUICE 2 large carrots per person, and 1 pear per person, to dump in the blender instead of water!
Add some “super fruit” powder or “green” powder to your smoothies for added wallop. Today it’s easy to find organic freeze dried acai powder, goji powder, raspberry powder or any number of high antioxidant pure fruit powders. You can even find a mix of greens and fruits… these powders dramatically increase the power of your smoothie.
Semi-frozen strawberry yogurt- take a cup of frozen strawberries, 1 cup of strawberry yogurt, 2 scoops of protein powder, and 2 tablespoons on flax seed oil. Blend. Add just enough apple or orange juice (or water) so the berries blend) Pour into bowls. This is MUCH more delicious than ice cream and makes a wonderful breakfast for children who don’t like to eat in the morning
Make more casseroles- meatless casseroles with cheese and spices are a yummy way to load up on veggies, and their easy too! Chop. Stir. Bake. Serve.
Make it accessible… Veggies always fresh chopped and in serving sizes… with meals I put the large salad out and I get out their favorite salad dressings ad open the top and set it right next to the silverware, I always have fresh home made salsa available and they will often scoop that up as a condiment or side dish.
Make fresh cobblers for dessert instead of pies. Lots of fruit in a very lightly greased baking dish topped with a crumble of equal parts raw oatmeal, almond meal, shaved coconut and a tablespoon of brown sugar. Add a bit of coconut oil to make a crumbly mixture and bake at 350 until fruit is soft and bubbly. If using apples or peaches sprinkle a bit of cinnamon. Berries may require a bit of your choice of sweetener. It is very fast to do something like this up and pop it in the oven after you take the casserole out. It is ready when your meal is done!
Wrap large lettuce leaves around sandwich filling instead of bread.
And don’t forget celery or carrot sticks spread with peanut butter. YUM!
The other night my teen age daughter actually ASKED for a vegetarian dinner. I had taken some pita breads, brushed them with olive oil and sprinkled them with garlic powder and sea salt and then baked them until lightly browned at 450 degrees. Then I served some home made salsa, a guacamole made with fresh avocado, juice of one lime, garlic clove crushed, and cilantro, and served both dips with the “chips” and some carrots, celery, cucumbers, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes. The ONLY reason she asked for this is because she LOVES the “homemade nacho chips”.
My rule of thumb is.. if I am having something they aren’t crazy about, I serve it with something they love!
Happy healthy eating to you, and get your 5-12 a day! Twelveliness is next to healthiness!

Implementing A Low-Carb Way Of Eating For Weight Loss Part 2 Replacing Carbohydrates With Animal Fat
June 26, 2010 Posted by admin
Implementing A Low-Carb Way Of Eating For Weight Loss Part 2 Replacing Carbohydrates With Animal Fat
So we are going to aim for 60 grams of carbohydrates which would constitute 10% or 240 calories of our 2400 calorie daily intake example instead of the usual 300 grams which would constitute 50% or 1200 calories of our 2400 calorie intake. We have just cut our calorie intake by 960 calories. The second biggest question in starting a low-carb approach to weight loss is: After cutting carbs, what do I eat to take their place? You increase your intake of animal fats.
Remember the goal of a low-carb approach to weight loss is not to starve the fat off your body. That is the goal of a low calorie, low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. The conventional wisdom claims that only gluttony and/or sloth leads to overweight or obesity. You lose weight by cutting daily calories to the 1500, 1200,1000 or even less levels and at the same time increase your physical activity walking, jogging ,running multiple times a week and or lifting weights on the same or alternate days. Low calorie diets were originally known as semi-starvation diets. You suffer from hunger and weakness. Most people can’t stand this form of self-deprivation for the long term, and fall off the dieting wagon. The masochistic few, with a will of iron, are able to stick with it and lose substantial weight. However, most of them will gradually regain all their lost weight and more, when they resume their normal eating habits. Low-calorie, low-fat dieters would achieve less dismal results, if they were under lock and key in a hospital ward, or better yet, behind barbed wire of a concentration camp, under the watchful eyes of armed guards and attack dogs.
The goal of a low-carb approach to weight loss is to help your body burn its fat stores more efficiently. You accomplish this not by cutting calories but by cutting carbohydrates. Carbohydrates cause an increase in blood glucose levels. Elevated blood glucose levels cause the pancreas to secrete insulin to drive down blood glucose levels by storing the glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles or as fat in the fat cells. Insulin is thus a fat-storage hormone. Excess carbs drive elevated blood glucose levels which drive increasing insulin secretion which drives fat accumulation. You keep your levels of insulin low by replacing carbs with animal fats. Fat consumption doesn’t cause an increase in blood glucose levels nor elicits an increase in insulin secretion. When carbs are limited, the body will breakdown fats eaten and fats stored in the body to fatty acids to be used as a fuel source instead of glucose.
Step one to implementing a low-carb approach to weight loss is: Cut carbs to 60 grams a day. You accomplish this by banning sugar and flour. You live life without bread. You cut out all grains and starchy root vegetables. You eat only salad greens (with extra virgin olive oil and red wine or apple cider vinegar as a dressing) and non-starchy vegetables. Low-carb fruits are limited to one or two portions a day such as: a ½ grapefruit at breakfast or a ¼ cup of blueberries for dessert at dinner. Your non-starchy vegetables and low-carb fruits are side dishes or garnishes to your meals. Your regular sodas and diet sodas have been replaced by water and mineral water. Your carb intake will range from 10-15% of total daily calories.
Step two to implementing a low-carb approach to weight loss is leaving your protein levels at 15-25% of your daily caloric intake. Now, however, the overwhelming majority of your protein will come from animal instead of plant foods. Flesh foods such as meat, poultry and fish will supply all the amino acids needed for proper growth and repair of body tissues.
Step three to implementing a low-carb approach to weight loss is increasing your animal fat levels to 60-70% of your daily caloric intake. You accomplish this by not trimming off the fat of your red meat. When you eat an 8 oz. (½ pound) steak you want to make sure that the lean to the fat ratio is not more than 3 to 1. That means 6 ounces have to be lean meat accompanied with 2 ounces of fat by weight. You don’t take off the skin from your poultry. You smother your your non-starchy vegetables with butter. You pour real cream without additives over your blueberries. You embellish you salad greens with chunks of full-fat cheeses and slices of hardboiled eggs. You avoid all low-fat, non-fat, reduced-fat dairy products. You take only real heavy whipping cream in your coffee, tea or cocoa.
Only your total carbohydrates are restricted. Your total intake of proteins and fats is left to your appetite and and not restricted at all. You will not be hungry on this way of eating. You can expect to lose on average 7-8 pounds a month, even though in the beginning you can lose more due to the excretion of water. In six months you can lose 50 pounds. In one year it is possible to lose 100 pounds. You will only reduce your excess fat stores. You will not cannibalize your lean muscle mass, which is often the case on severely restricted caloric diets. Carbohydrates are the only foods that fatten fat people. Fat and protein are slimming foods. They help you burn up your excess fat and they stop making more.

Low-Calorie, Sugar Free, Delectable Desserts!
You don’t have to give up dessert just because your doctor told you to cut back on your sugar intake. There are dozens of delicious, refreshing and downright delectable desserts that you can make with absolutely no sugar at all. Next time you’re looking for something a little sweet to end your meal that won’t triple your calorie count try one of these great sugar free suggestions to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Root-toot-fruity and frosty desserts
Fruit is naturally sweet and delicious and summertime fruit is especially refreshing. Take full advantage of fruit that is in season with one of these tasty dessert ideas using fresh fruit.
Nutty Frozen Bananas
Peel ripe bananas and cut each banana into 3 inch long pieces. Insert either a bamboo skewer or Popsicle stick into the end of each piece. Dip the pieces into sugar-free melted chocolate, and then roll them into either chopped walnuts or crushed peanuts. Freeze the bananas on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper and enjoy as a mid-afternoon snack.
Pineapple-Strawberry Skewers
To make pineapple-strawberry skewers first rinse and hull a fresh pack of strawberries. Next slide two or three strawberries onto a bamboo skewer, alternating each one with a chunk of pineapple. Then soak the skewers in unsweetened pineapple juice or apple juice for half an hour and after that freeze for 1-2 hours. You’ll have a delicious, frosty treat that’s the perfect end to a barbecue meal or a family picnic.
Berry-Blast Sorbet
Puree two cups of mixed fresh berries with the juice and zest of one lemon. Strain the berry puree through a metal strainer to remove the seeds and pulp. Add Splenda or another sugar substitute to taste. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker and store in a covered container in the freezer. Try mixing proportions of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries until you get the flavor that you like.
Variation: Add ½ teaspoon of grated ginger or a dash of cayenne for an added zing.
Sugar-Free Strawberry Shortcake
No need to give up that quintessential summertime treat just because you have to cut sugar out from your diet. Here are some ways to make your strawberry shortcake guilt and sugar free.
- Slice fresh berries and sweeten with Splenda Granulated instead of using sweetened frozen berries or sweetening with sugar.
- Instead of high-calorie shortcake or biscuits, bake a sugar-free cake to serve as the base.
- Barring that, use sugar-free graham crackers or vanilla wafers instead of shortcake for your base. Just let the berries sit on them for an extra minute or two to let the juices sink in.
- Top with a tablespoon of homemade fresh whipped cream, either unsweetened, or sweetened with a packet of sugar substitute.
- OR chill two cups of skim or low-fat milk to just above freezing. Whip to a thick, bubbly froth with an electric beater, sweetening with sugar substitute.
Sugar-free Ice Cream Ideas
Do you love ice cream? You can certainly buy low-fat and sugar-free ice cream at the grocery store, but you don’t have to be stuck with the few flavors that you can find sugar free. Instead, invest in an inexpensive ice cream maker and play with your own flavors. Not only will you get ice cream made with healthy, fresh ingredients, but you and your family can have a lot of fun creating your very own signature flavors. Start with this basic recipe for sugar free ice cream and then try your own variations to create a special and deliciously guilt-free ice cream.
Ingredients
3 c. nonfat milk
¼ c. nonfat powdered milk
1 c. Splenda Granulated
8 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 c. fruit
Ice cream maker
Start by mixing 2 cups of nonfat milk, powdered milk and Splenda in a heavy saucepan. Heat to a simmer, but don’t allow it to boil. Then set aside the warm milk.
Whip egg yolks until they’re thick and creamy. They’ll be a light, creamy color and you’ll be able to draw a spatula through the yolks and leave a ribbon.
Add one cup of the hot milk to the eggs while constantly whisking the mixture. This “tempers” the yolks so that the hot milk doesn’t cook them.
Pour the egg-and-milk mixture back into the pot and turn the heat up to medium. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is about the thickness of thick gravy.
Stir in the cold milk (you can use half and half or light cream instead for creamier ice cream) and vanilla, then refrigerate till chilled – at least eight hours or overnight.
Add pureed or chopped fruit to the custard mixture, and then pour it into your ice cream freezer bowl. From here on out, follow the directions on your ice cream freezer.
Sugar Free Ice Cream Add-ins
2 cups of pureed mangoes
2 cups hulled, pureed strawberries
1 cup of raisins macerated in ¼ cup brandy or rum
2 cups mixed berries, pureed and strained to remove seeds
½ cup very finely chopped mint leaves with 1 c. pureed peaches

Yummy Summer Desserts That Are Good For You

Yummy Summer Desserts That Are Good For You
Many times, when we try to lose weight, the first thing we do is give up dessert. After all, you can’t lose weight eating sweets, right? Wrong. As long as you eat the right ones, adding something sweet to your meal can actually be good for you.
Now that summer has finally arrived, it’s even easier to indulge in a little treat after you eat. Let’s start with summer’s most powerful health boosters: berries. Strawberries, with their ellagic acid and vitamin C are superstars and so are blueberries, which are loaded with antioxidants.
Of course, if you dump spoons full of sugar on them or slather them with whipped cream, they’re not going to help you lose weight. But if you add a half cup of either or both to a cup of lowfat or fat-free yogurt, you’re doing your body good. You can even sprinkle a tablespoon or two of lowfat granola on them to make them a perfect parfait.
Blueberry pie and strawberry short cake are certainly not on the list of approved diet desserts. Or are they? Well, if you make the pie with just a bottom crust, as little sugar as possible and just a few little cutouts of crust on the top, you could have it once a week and still lose weight.
Or, how about strawberry shortcake, made with lowfat biscuits made with lowfat biscuit mix, and just a spritz of canned “whipped cream”, which has very few calories, fat or sugar in it? As long as you don’t have them every day, they won’t add enough calories to sabotage your weight loss. Just compensate by making sure that the rest of your meals are on the light side for calories.
Besides berries, there are other super healthy treats in the summertime. Watermelon, grapes, plums, cherries and peaches all are low in calories and high in vitamins, fiber and antioxidants. All of them can be combined with low calorie options like yogurt, cottage cheese, granola, a few nuts or a sprinkle of coconut. Use your imagination and your calorie counter to come up with innovative ways to indulge your sweet tooth.
If you really want to top off a low cal meal, you can melt a square of chocolate and then dip fresh strawberries in it. Chocolate is good for your heart, your blood pressure, your immune system and your mood. Pair it with strawberries and you have the perfect healthy dessert to round off your summer meal.
Losing weight isn’t about dieting for a day or a week. It isn’t about being bored and deprived. If your weight loss plan isn’t working, find out more about weight loss for life at www.lillslifesystems.com.
