Ingredients

Olive oil cooking spray, as needed

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can no-salt-added plum tomatoes - (35 o, chopped, with juic
1 can low-sodium tomato puree - (15 oz)
2 tbsp good-quality chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin

= (abt 2 tbspns per serving)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Scrub the potatoes and pat dry. Prick several times with a fork. Bake
directly on the middle oven rack (for the tastiest skin, don't oil the
potatoes or wrap them in aluminum foil). Bake until soft to the touch,
about 55 minutes to 1 1/4 hour.
Spray a large nonstick pot with cooking spray and saute the onions and
garlic over low heat, stirring until they begin to turn golden. Add the
tomatoes and tomato puree along with the chili powder, cumin, pepper
flakes, oregano, and cinnamon. Stir to combine and then add the turkey,
green pepper, and kidney beans. Bring to a simmer, and cook for 40
minutes.
Slice each potato in half, lengthwise and then cut a slash down the middle
and open out. Spoon a cup of the chili on each potato half and top with a
dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cheese.
This recipe yields 8 servings.

Lycopene foods (includes watermelon, red bell peppers & spiny bitter gourd) The nutrient lypcopene is a simple coloring compound and member of the carotenid family of phytochemicals. It is the agent responsible for the deep red hue of some fruits and vegetables. Unlike numerous nutritional compounds, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, rather it is essentially enhanced by being cooked. . Lycoprene's main advantage is that it acts as an antioxidant and is believed to be an asset in the battle to reduce the probabilty of developing cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most powerful remover of singlet oxygen, which is associated with skin aging. It's also thought by many experts to prevent the growth of atherosclerosis. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it enables fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, eg pork and hard cheese. With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/high protein, diet. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The 'science' behind the atkins diet is that if we consume less carbs, we will utilise the fat we have stored and we will reduce weight |
