Ingredients
LIZ JONES VXRF36B
2 turkey thighs
1 cup boiling water
28 oz tomatoes with liquid
2 large onions, chopped
3 green peppers, seeded/chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp chili powder, or more
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 salt & fresh-ground pepper
1/4 cup extra sharp shredded cheese, cheddar, jack, optional
Directions
Put turkey thighs on a chopping board; slice meat away from the
bones. Cut meat in 1-inch cubes, discard skin. Spray a non-stick pot
(or pressure cooker) with cooking spray for no-fat frying. Add cubed
meat. Brown over moderate heat in its own melted fat (no added oil
needed). Remove from flame and stir boiling water into juices in pot.
Pour liquid into a cup, set aside until fat rises to surface. With a
bulb-type baster, skim off and discard surface fat. Return
fat-skimmed liquid to pot. (Bones may be added for flavor and removed
before serving.) Add all remaining ingredients except cheese. Cover,
simmer over low heat until tender, about 1 hour in conventional pot,
or 20 minutes in pressure cooker. Uncover, continue to simmer until
most of the liquid evaporates and chili is thick. Spoon into serving
dish. Top with cheese. The Tampa Tribune, Feb. 1993.

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a weight loss program first advocated by Barry Sears in a series of books. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, nevertheless many zone diet followers find that they actually manage to lose a few pounds by following this system. The 'science' claimed for the Zone Diet is that if you can control the amount of the hormones 'insulin' and 'glucogen', then anti-inflammatory chemicals are released which, in turn puts the body in a state of balance which is an awful lot more healthful than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears alleges that if you get into this 'zone', your metabolism is working at its best and, because of this, doesn't build up fat. The key procedure of the zone system is to maintain the exact ratio of carbs to proteins, and to ensure you get high levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. The low calorie diet In simple terms, a low calorie weight loss regime is based on the fact that if you plan to achieve weight loss, then you have to eat less calories than your body requires. So what is a calorie? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. The food calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food has higher calories, then it will will give you a larger amount of energy when eaten. Low-cal foods include brussels sprouts, bell pepper, water melon, low fat hot-dogs, and low-fat cheese. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes parsley, collard greens and tomato ketchup) These superfoods contain carotenes believed by nutritionalists to play a major part in minimizing the risk of cancer, specifically of the the lungs and stomach. Most also help you lose weight, so should be included in your weight loss program. |
