Low Carb Recipe

Did you know that the body does not get rid of fat cells that it creates? They only shrink when you lose weight. Now they will get real small but they don’t go away. Many people have turned to liposuction to remove the excess fat but it should only be done after you have shown the ability to control your weight. I know someone who had it done and then turned around and gained all the weight back in a month. What a waste of money and a mental blow. If you are controlling your weight and losing weight it might be an option to help.

Hoodia gordonii (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is also called hoodia, xhooba, !khoba, Ghaap, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus.Hoodia is a cactus that’s causing a stir for its ability to suppress appetite and promote weight loss. 60 Minutes, ABC, and the BBC have all done stories on hoodia. Hoodia is sold in capsule, liquid, or tea form in health food stores and on the Internet. Hoodia gordonii can be found in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Hoodia grows in clumps of green upright stems and is actually a succulent, not a cactus. It takes about 5 years before hoodia’s pale purple flowers appear and the cactus can be harvested. Although there are 20 types of hoodia, only the hoodia gordonii variety is believed to contain the natural appetite suppressant.Although hoodia was “discovered” relatively recently, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert have been eating it for a very long time. The Bushmen, who live off the land, would cut off part of the hoodia stem and eat it to ward off hunger and thirst during nomadic hunting trips. They also used hoodia for severe abdominal cramps, haemorrhoids, tuberculosis, indigestion, hypertension and diabetes.In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San Bushmen noted that they used hoodia to suppress appetite. But it wasn’t until 1963 when scientists at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), South Africa’s national laboratory, began studying hoodia. Initial results were promising — lab animals lost weight after taking hoodia.The South African scientists, working with a British company named Phytopharm, isolated the active ingredient in hoodia, a steroidal glycoside, which they named p57. After getting a patent in 1995, they licensed p57 to Phytopharm. Phytopharm has spent more than $20 million on hoodia research.Eventually pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (makers of Viagra) caught wind of hoodia and became interested in developing a hoodia drug. In 1998, Phytopharm sub-licensed the rights to develop p57 to Pfizer for $21 million. Pfizer recently returned the rights to hoodia to Phytopharm, who is now working with Unilever. What you need to know about hoodiaHoodia appears to suppress appetite Much of the buzz about hoodia started after 60 minutes correspondent Leslie Stahl and crew traveled to Africa to try hoodia. They hired a local Bushman to go with them into the desert and track down some hoodia. Stahl ate it, describing it as “cucumbery in texture, but not bad.” She lost the desire to eat or drink the entire day. She also didn’t experience any immediate side effects, such as indigestion or heart palpitations. Stahl concluded, “I’d have to say it did work.”In animal studies, hoodia is believed to reduce caloric intake by 30 to 50 percent. There is one human study showing a reduced intake of about 1000 calories per day. However, I haven’t been able to find either study to actually read for myself and am going on secondhand reports.For more information visit: Hoodia Gordonii

If you’re on the Internet searching for hoodia, it’s almost impossible to know you’re buying the real deal. There are simply far too many con artists on the loose, and they know that people are desperate for hoodia. Everybody wants to lose weight, right?

But beware! If I were you, I wouldn’t buy from just anybody. It’s hard to know who to trust in this emerging, high-profit business. Anybody can throw powder into a capsule and claim it’s hoodia, but can they prove it?

We only use 100% pure South African Hoodia from the Kalahari Desert in Hoodia Gordonii Plus and are proud to display the certificates to prove it. Our Hoodia is licensed by the Western Cape Conservation Authority of South Africa and is certified to be 100% Authentic. There are two certified documents required to prove the authenticity of pure South African Hoodia. They are the C.I.T.E.S Certificate and the Analytical Report.

Just like a Musician needs sheet music and a carpenter needs building plans, to effective cook in a low carb and calorie way you need a good Book. So check out some of these.



Welcome to low carbohydrate recipes here you’ll find a large selection of low Carb recipes and meals. It is my belief as with everything in life there is no magic bullet and in order for a low carb diet to be effective everything must be done in moderation. The reason for this is we’re all creatures of habit and drastically changing any one of these habits is a recipe for failure. So with that in mind choose recipes that you like and you are sure to eat it again.



Also feel free to post your own low carbohydrate recipes and any tips or advice that you might have learned in your quest for a low carbohydrate lifestyle.

Now let’s add just a little bit of background to some things that will help you with your low carved diet. Basically foods are made up of three different elements carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. All three of these elements are essential for a healthy diet and a healthy body. The proportions of each determine the amount of fat that we store the amount of muscle that we maintain and the amount of energy that we have.
Carbohydrates provide the energy that the body needs to run the team excess amounts of carbohydrates allows the body to store the unused energy as fat.
Proteins provide the elements that the body needs to build and maintain muscle mass the more muscle mass that you have the more calories your body burns and rust and during work. Protein rich foods are also lower in calories than an equal portion of carbohydrates. One thing that you must remember when increasing your protein intake is to also increase your water consumption. This is because as the body breaks proteins down it creates toxic chemicals which are stored in the bladder in order to flush these toxic chemicals you must consume additional amounts of water.
Fats are also essential to maintaining a healthy body but not all fat is good. The good type of good fat is monounsaturated and comes for olive oil, flaxseed oil, canola oil, and oil found in nuts and surprisingly real butter. Word of caution here use these fats sparingly as fat contains a higher percentage of calories than proteins or carbohydrates. For example 3oz. of olive oil contains about 1000 calories where as a 3 oz. chicken breasts contain only 140 calories.

So in order for a low carbohydrate diet to work we need to approach it with a logical and slow approach. For some of us cutting back on carbohydrates is as difficult as quitting a smoking habit. Don’t try to do a cold turkey; the process that we want to take is to make a conscious effort to decrease our carbohydrate intake an increase our protein. I personally am not a big fan of counting carbohydrates it tends to make me feel like I’m depriving myself of something. Starts substituting could carbohydrates for bad carbohydrates for example instead of getting the garlic mashed potatoes substituted them for the steamed broccoli. Small changes like this over a longer period become a habit and low carbohydrate diet and meal planning are good a habit. It said it takes at least 21 days to form a habit and only two days to break it. Also do not shy away from the good fats now this doesn’t mean go out and start eating tubs of butter but fats make you feel full and satisfied the biggest downfall to a low carbohydrate diet is that we never feel full.

Now in having said all that I’m going to try and simplify this in just a couple of sentences.
1. Start decreasing carbohydrates and increasing your protein intake.
2. Make sure that the fats you’re eating are good fats monounsaturated fats like olive oil, flaxseed oil, and oils found in nuts.
3. Increase your activity; start with small things like parking further away from your office.
So in conclusion the magic formula is burn more calories than you consume. Protien has fewer calories than carbohydrates and fat per oz. Eat more protien, reduce carbs and include some fat.
