Fat Burning Natural Foods

There is a category of food that does just what overweight
people want it to do. There are actually foods that are
natural fat burners. Amazingly, they are not difficult to
find. The thing is that some of these foods may actually
surprise you. There is a concept that has been around for
some time. It is called negative calorie foods. What this
means is that there are foods that require more energy to
burn than they provide. Some of these are celery, spinach
and apples.

Remember your mother's admonition about eating your greens.
It's true that they're not much fun but they do burn fat. With
some creativity you can incorporate these foods into your menu,
lose weight and feel satisfied when finished eating. This would
include cabbage, dandelion greens, Chinese cabbage, mustard
and collard greens. The emphasis here is on changing your diet, not dieting. By
focusing on what you eat as opposed to losing weight, you
will naturally, effortlessly lose weight and feel better.

Citrus fruits aid your body in the release of fats. It also helps
your body to process the fat more efficiently and quickly.

No-Calorie Soda Pop Syrups

Two big pancakes made with cake-flour and smothered in fresh crushed strawberries, sweetened with a good sugar substitute like Splenda, contains less than 250 calories. A tablespoon of cooking oil adds an extra 120 calories, and butter contributes another 100 or so.

Many Colors Soups

The usual calling card (aroma’s from the kitchen ) was being left and had commenced drawing everyone from each corner of the house, inside and out, to have a need to get a drink of water, a cup of coffee, or anything that would put them in, or near the kitchen. The only thing was we all knew that when Aunt Nelly was in the “cooking business” you didn’t dare disturb her unless, you had a chore in the kitchen, or, a 911 emergency which included blood! The reason being that cooking for a small army required much concentration and much more work.

Aunt Nelly was preparing Emerald Soup which would be partnered with hot butter Corn Bread. She had soups of all colors in her collection of recipes. Ruby Red Soup (Cream of Tomato & Pimento), Yellow Harvest Soup (Creamy Butternut Squash & Pumpkin), Brown Beef Soup (Savory Vegetable Beef). There was even a Plum Purple Soup which was served cold over a small square of pound cake as a dessert soup on hot summer days. What can I say, Aunt Nelly was a colorful individual. Her soup was not of this world, as Aunt Nita would say, “simply Heavenly”, or “this is divine!”

Makes Soup So Good?

I think it is because every culture in history has had a "lower" class that has had to make do with the cheapest, least sought after ingredients. Higher "quality" ingredients often have as much to do with texture as with flavor, and the richest people in any society get the pick of the tenderest cuts of meat, the finest spring vegetables, and the freshest fruit. In contrast, the "peasantry" lives on the tougher cuts of meat, the bones often included, root vegetables and leftover fruit that has either been dried or fermented.
Bones, gristle and similar tissues contain, among other things, collagen. This is a protein used in connective tissues, and it has some very interesting properties. Firstly, it dissolves in hot liquid. Second, it coagulates when it cools down, provided it is concentrated enough. If this makes it sound like gelatin, then you are correct: collagen is one of the main ingredients in gelatin. The third property of collagen that is of interest in the kitchen is that is carries flavors that water cannot.

Incredible Life of Soup

A little bit about soup first of all. Although people used hot water to heat foods, it was not until the invention of heatproof containers that foods were able to boil in their juices. The invention of these containers started new taste sensations. When flavors were released from boiling, it created a whole different menu for the general populations. Ancient people (it is assumed) would eat everything in the pot including the liquid, which was an ancient version of the soup. Initially they could have been cooked on hot stones in bowls of natural substances. Soup derives from the word "sup" meaning the bread on which the broth was poured. In the beginning it was more like porridge and gruel.
Even before cookbooks were published in America, newspapers and magazines mentioned them. William parks published the first cookbook in America. America is the melting pot and its many culinary influences show in its soups. The Germans helped us to see that a soup can be a meal. After the French Revolution, the French fled to America, and in the process brought high flueten gourmet soups. Then those from the slave uprisings in Haiti brought Cajun soups. Soup was often a first course at dinner parties all through the new world

Liquid Gold From the Gods

Fats can be broken down into 2 main categories: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fats are the ones most doctors and nutritionists will tell you to avoid because they have been shown to raise cholesterol levels which can contribute to heart disease. The other category of fats is unsaturated. These fats come in two forms: polyunsaturated and monounsaturated, and both are healthy fats in moderation.
