June Recipe of the Month - Broccoli Almond Crunch Vegetable Dish

Jun 3, 2010 @ 03:04 PM — by SEO Admin

Broccoli Almond Crunch Vegetable Dish Makes Approximately Four 1-Cup Servings Tired of the same old broccoli dish? Try this one its fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor. We like to serve it cold in the summer with some chopped chicken tossed in for a great outdoor evening meal or picnic. This vegetable dish also tastes great warm with any type of protein serving along side; chicken, salmon, beef or pork. Because you can buy this slivered broccoli slaw pre-cut and ready to cook, the preparation time takes about three minutes from stove to table. Enjoy on any of the Key Diets. Ingredients: One 12 oz. package Manns Broccoli Cole Slaw (or other brand if you like)

  • 1/4 cup raw slivered almond
  • 2 T. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. of the Napa Valley Meritage Seasoning mix, or seasoning of your choice
  • Salt and pepper to taste about 1/2 teaspoon each.

Apr 9, 2010 @ 09:47 PM — by SEO Admin

HCG Treatment for Obesity - HCG and Weight Loss

Dec 20, 2009 @ 05:08 PM — by SEO Admin

History Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone normally secreted by the trophoblastic cells of the placenta during pregnancy. It was first described as a treatment for obesity in conjunction with a very low calorie diet by Dr. A. Simeons in 1954 [1]. The Simeons method consisted of a rigid diet of about 500 calories per day combined with 125 units of HCG injected six days per week for 8 weeks. For each of the two meals permitted daily, patients were instructed to select one item from each of four food groups, protein, vegetable, bread, and fruit. For protein servings patients were told to select from the following list: 3.5 ounces of meat, 3.75 ounces of fish, 4 ounces of Hoop cheese, or 6 egg whites. The latter two choices were to be selected occasionally [2]. The protein intake on the Simeons diet therefore ranged from about 45 to 50 grams per day. The Simeons method was very popular in the 1970s and advocates claimed that the method had
