The Idiot Proof Diet is designed for one reason -- to make

the scale go down dramatically. And guess what? There

are NO specific calorie limits on this diet, you may eat

until you feel " satisfied " at every meal, no matter what.

Soup Stuff

---------------------

 

First, two quick soup tips from Chef Jamie Gwen:

 

There are many ways to thicken soups: cream, butter, egg

yolks. One of the simplest ways is to use the properties

of the ingredients themselves.

 

Here's a great idea for serving a hearty soup: slice the

top from a round wheel of bread, lightly toast it and

fill it with soup for an edible bowl (and easy clean-

up).

 

Good tips, eh?

Mama's Healthy Lentil Soup

 

1 bag of dried lentils (1 lb)

1 large onion

2 to 3 fresh carrots (preferably the ones with the

green tops attached)

2 ripe tomatoes

3 stalks of celery

1 small can of tomato sauce or, if you wish, tomato

juice

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp. of fresh oregano

3 or 4 springs of fresh parsley

1 bunch of fresh spinach

Pepper and salt

3 to 4 tbs of olive oil

 

Wash the dried lentils well and drain in a colander. In

a large pot add about 2 Tbs. of olive oil add chopped

onion, celery, chopped tomato and chopped carrots.

Simmer on very low heat for about 5 minutes, then add

lentils, tomato sauce and enough water to cover lentils

but top it off with about 2 inches of extra water.

 

Add seasonings and simmer for about 1 hour or until

lentils are very tender. Add washed spinach and cook

for another ten minutes. Stir in another 2 Tbs. of

olive oil. Serve this soup with brown rice, or Italian

pasta called shells or tubettis. You can also eat the

soup with French bread. Garnish with grated Parmesan,

Mozzarella, or French Roquefort cheese. With a salad,

this soup makes a meal.

Friendly Skeptic Looks at Goji

 

Cancer researcher Ralph Moss takes a close look at the

latest rage in the network marketing health industry: Goji

Juice. Does the stuff live up to its claims... or is it

just another over-priced " nutritional " drink?
