Tuscany Salad - Weight Control -- Magic Diet

Tuscany  Salad  - Weight Control  -- Magic Diet

This Tuscan recipe is so easy and fast that I was thinking that it was too simple for a video. Everything is so fresh and the taste from the olive oil blended with the veggies just makes it perfect with the marinated bread.

I made the Tuscany salad with a hearty rye bread that still holds its texture as it absorbs the liquid, thus giving it a great taste.  

I hope that you enjoy this and give it a try, also please let me know if you made any changes to it.

*************************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

3 thick slices of any hearty bread.

2 med.         -  Tomatoes
1/2 lg.          -  Cucumber
1/2 med       -  Lime juice
2 tbsp.         -  Olive oil
1/2 tbsp.      -  Sugar
1/2 med.      -  Onion
1/3 cup         - Capers
1/2 cup         -  Fresh parsley
1/4 cup         -  Green or black olives
1 tbsp.          -  Vinegar


Salt and pepper to taste.



For more information please see the video below.

*************************************************************************************************************

Here I'm using a hearty thick country rye bread that has a texture that can absorb the liquids and still not give you a soggy bread but a smooth marinated taste. 

Try it with day-old bread or really any type you want, just remember to toast it or put it under the oven grill until golden brown.

The cucumber is just perfect for this recipe, the mild fresh taste just goes perfect with the other veggies and the marinated oil. 

Slice the tomatoes in wedges so it becomes nice bite-size pieces, but try it your way and see what pleases you best. After all, it's your salad. 

By not cutting up the parsley you will get a more of a fresh taste in every bite and it will make it more of all-round natural taste. I would advise using only fresh parsley.  

Finish it off with lime or lemon, whatever you use with complete this recipe  your way.

My Weight Loss Story.

My Weight Loss  Story

At One Point In Life

At one point a few years ago I realized that something had to be done with my weight, I was 235 lbs. (106.5 Kg). It even got that I had a problem tying up my own shoelaces for my stomach was enlarged. 

Just like a lot of others, I tried many diet systems, bought a lot of books, joined a fitness Club, but continued to struggle with my weight. 

After I started to have breathing problems and finding that I was getting sick more often, I got a reality check. So I went to see my Doctor and was told that I would not last long if I continued with my present lifestyle. 

I needed to change everything if I wanted a decent life and a future.

Same Clothes As First Pic.

Well,  I knew that I had to get something going soon, very soon. So I started to forget all things about all the diet systems that I tried before and failed.

I grabbed my notebook, measuring tools, pots, and pans, and of course "Mr. Google" and started to create a food system that was made custom for my body and that could help me lose weight and control it.

Magic Diet Soup was born after about a few tries with the soup.  I  finally got it just right. " Magic Diet Soup "

I started to just eat the Soup for about a week and then "wow" !!, I lost weight, but I knew that most of it was only water at first, so I tried to stay cool about the results.  After the first week, I lost about  8 pounds and was happy and I had to say that I did feel better because of all that fiber going through my system, it did give me a better feeling of well being.

Keep On Going, No Choice Do Or Die. 

Now that I did this for a week and finished "now what", where do I go from here. So it was back to the Kitchen to drum some other foods to keep up my diet plan. What I came up with was my "In Between Soups"  Magic Diet Soup # 3, The In-Between Soup that  I would eat usually for Lunch every day, but what about some protein and more of a solid type food, for with just soup, I knew that I would not last long on this diet and I could make myself sick.

Well. then I started to change the way I ate and added meat protein in small portions into my Diet and concentrated on having this for my Lunch and now switching the soups for the evening meal,  for in this way I found it worked better for me and my system. As for breakfast, I had eggs but no more the 3 times a week with a light salad, also during the week I also had high fiber cereals with skim milk and a lot of oatmeal.  

Now I know "what happens when I get hungry?   "In between meals",   well  I ate more fruit and plenty of raw vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, celery, etc., I found this worked for me and the weight was coming off and this time it was not water but the fat leaving my body.

I got to a point that the weight was coming off, but again I knew that I needed some type of exercise in order to further remove the weight and get me in better shape. Now I am really lazy about it and all things associated with exercising, I dreaded getting started. 

So I finally decide to start to run, why?, because I was lazy and this had to be the simplest form of doing it. 

 Right?  Wrong !!   

When I started to run for the first time, I could not even do 100 yds, I was out of breath, had a burning pain in my lungs and my legs were giving up on me. So my first attempt sent me into a slight depression, for how was I going to do this?  Now I knew that I had to try and if others can run hundreds of miles, then I should be able to run at least 1/2 of one. I would do it if I had to kill myself trying, for it was either getting it done or go back the way I was and that would surely kill me.

So I started, really slow at first by walking and jogging for about a month slowly adding more and more distance in yds. until I could do my first month's program until I could do it with ease. Here is my first running program that I designed for my training for the first month of running.  Running Program One     

After the second month, I noticed that the weight was just flying off and "boy !!' was I excited, I just wanted more. So in the following month, I created my second  Running program #2, please check it here for my second month.  Running Program Two

14.01 Km. Run

One of my usual runs along the river, life is good for me now. Now, this shows here that I did a 14.01 Kms. (8.6 miles) run, but remember, was this not the same person that could not even do 100 yds in the beginning.

Today 

Now today I run up to 2 to 3 times a week and enjoy it, I run like I feel like I have wings on my back. My weight is completely under control and maintained where I want it. I have super energy, I sleep like a baby, almost never get tired, hardly get sick, my Girlfriend never complains (wink), and  "yes" I can tie my shoelaces with ease now. I just feel great and my Doctor says that I'm a picture of health inside and out.

Please join me as a  Runner on the program I use  Runtastic App.  (free site) and become my friend so I can cheer you on and encourage you. Just search for  Anthony C   Click here -  www.runtastic.com  once you join to find me.

I have to say the  Soups and my running programs help me get to where I am today. In the above "After" above picture, I finally went down to 160 lbs. (72.5 kg.), but as for today I lost a bit more where I maintain it now and  I'm very happy at  152 lbs. ( 68.9 kg.).  with a 30 inch  (76.2 cm.) coming from a 44 inch  (111.76 cm. ) waist.

It was not easy and I did go up and down, but by going one step ahead forward and making this not a diet for your life, but a Lifestyle is the only way for you to get there. Remember there is no Magic here but there is very strong magic in oneself when you really want something and go out and do it.

I hope and wish everyone on your way to better health and please note that I'm here for you if you need some encouragement or further information. Please feel free to comment.

Remember that " Beauty Starts From The Inside".

Sesame Ginger Salmon – Low Calorie – Magic Diet

Sesame  Ginger Salmon – Low Calorie – Magic Diet

I have to admit that salmon is one of my favorite fish and I could add a lot of recipes here for it is such a easy and great tasting dish. Now this recipe is one of my best choices because when it comes to soya, brown sugar and toasted sesames, I ‘am in all the way.

 

Here  I have reduced the sizes in order  to have it as a low-calorie dish  that will keep me on my diet and keep my weight under control.  I know that I was adding sugar to here, but according to the  facts of dieting  in relation to having sugar in your plan is all good as long as you do not over do it.

It was hard for me to lose the weight and on eating  just things that were  good tasting, but after awhile you do crave for something else that can help you lose the calories but also helps keep your food cravings under control. So now that I have reached my goals and was a very good boy with my dieting I now can have a little extra in my meals and this recipe is “just what I wanted”.

Please let me know how you prepared this salmon and how it worked for you. 

********************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

2 Pieces - Salmon skin one side 

2 Tbsp. - Olive oil

1 Tbsp. - Vingar 

2 Cloves - Garlic 

1 Tbsp. - Soya sauce 

1 Tbsp. - Brown sugar 

1/2 to 1 Tbsp. - Ginger dry or fresh 

1/2 to 1 Tbsp. - Black Treacle or honey 

Salt and pepper to taste 

Toppings;

- Toasted sesames 

- Green onions 

********************************************************************************************************

I keep the salmon flesh downwards in order to have more contact with the marinade, then it's off to the fridge for a minimum of 35 mins. Also please remember with any kind of fish that you have to use caution with it when it is at room temperature. 

So please keep it in the fridge during the  storage or marinating time. 

Use the leftover marinade from the fish to complete the  sauce topping. Also it is important to bring this sauce up to a boil in order to cook the marinate  and caramelize the sugars to bring out that awesome taste to your salmon. 

Here I'am using my indoor grill but you can also bake the salmon and it will try out absolutely awesome. Now with an outdoor BBQ,  now we are talking with this recipe.  

When you see the a lighter color coming up the side of the salmon and/or see a   light opaque color at the sides of the fish, then it's time to flip them. I know some of you like to crisp the skin first and then flip it and thats all good, but you have to be careful not to overcook it, or you it will be chewy and tough.

Veggie Diet Hamburger - Weight Loss - Magic Diet

Veggie Diet Hamburger - Weight Loss - Magic Diet

  I just love my hamburgers and I have to say that I have been avoiding them as much as possible because while being on a diet I just have no choice but to control what I eat.  So in this recipe I came up with a recipe that satisfies me with this craving for one.  Of course I will have it with a side order of other veggies and try to keep away from the fries, for that would defeat my purpose of my diet.

Now  at the start of the frying of the veggies, I do use oil but with one tablespoon  for it really does not make a big difference  when you make a batch of the mixture.  Later I added to the blender some olive oil to give it some taste to the veggies but it does not affect the oil when it is grilled because of the cooking time.

As for adding sugar to the  sauce it is so low that I would not worry about it because you are entitled  to have some sugar in your diet on a daily basis, as long as you do not abuse it.

Enough said, enjoy the Veggie hamburger and go ahead and have two if you can handle it, I ‘am sure you will love it. Please let me know how yours turned out. 

*********************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

1 Cup - Black beans
2 Cloves - Garlic
1 Sm. - Onion
1 Med. - Carrot
1/3 -  Sweet red pepper
1 Tbsp. - Cooking oil
1 Tbsp. - Olive oil
1 Tbsp. -  Parsley
1 to 2 Tbsp. - Soya  sauce
1 Egg - (Omit for Vegetarian recipe)
1/3 Cup - Bread crumbs (more as necessary)

Salt and pepper to taste.

Options;
Add  1/2 Cup - Barley (extra).
Kidney beans instead of black beans.
Bread instead of bread crumbs.


Topping sauce;
3 Tbsp. - Yogurt
1 Tsp. - Mustard
1/3 Tsp. - sugar  
1/3 Tsp. - Lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste.

Options;  
Use sour cream instead of yogurt.
Use buttermilk instead of yogurt.
1/3 Tsp. - Hot sauce



*********************************************************************************************************

I like to use black beans because I find this bean to be more tasteful and it makes more of a  rich texture. If you want you can use some different beans like kidney beans or add some barley to it. 

Either Way it will turn out great and the taste will kill your cravings to the meat ones and keep those pounds off. 

I know a few Vegetarians that will have eggs to their diet and I used it here to provide a more nrich  recipe that should  fill you up more and hold off those hunger craving. 

But for those Vegetarian Friends who do not use eggs, then just  omit the egg and it will be more  to your liking. 

I use a bit extra of the bread crumbs to prevent the mixture from sticking to my board, also if you find that it sticks to your fingers, then rub some cooking oil to your hands and that should make it easier. 

Remember to make your patties about the same size of your buns that you are using. 

Not like grilling our meat patty, our veggie burger should be grilled at a lower temperature and a bit longer. when I see that the colour has changed halfway up the sides, then I flip it over and reduce the heat to cook it through and through.  

This recipe will work great on a outdoor BBQ and of course you can also bake it in the oven on a greased tray for about  25 to 30 minutes on about 350 degree setting. 

Now go ahead and add all your favorite toppings, make it your way. Just watch out for the bacon...:)

Get Motivation From 1, 2 and Start.

Get Motivation  From   1,  2  and   Start. 

Looking for that dream job or trying out a new Diet Plan, well-being motivated can make a great difference between winning or losing. It does not matter whether it is a Business or your personal Life, it’s how your inner motivation thinking  propels   you for succeed or failure. 

Motivation combined with the right attitude often requires some practice until it becomes automatic in your daily life.  Now once you have mastered the power of motivation, it will send you into untiring energy and a feeling of acceleration to accomplish anything you want in Life.  

Where Can I find My Motivation?

Well  just look  around you, the  world  is just  filled  with successful  People.  Start   by  observing them and soon you will catch on, on what powers them to succeed. 

- Draw motivation from the successful  people or so called  world Motivators and also the ones that  haven't achieved much and you will reach your goals with both types of people. 

- Motivators are people that are enjoying a great amount of success in their lives, giving you a concrete vision of where you would like to be at. 

- Now those that haven’t achieved much can also serve you as a reminder, of what you do not want in life. As a thought ask yourself “ do they” have what you want, do they live the life that you’re looking for. If the answer is no, then get motivated and get started on the right path to seek “what you want in order to not get into their position.

Stay Focused On Your Vision.

In order to achieve  your vision it’s important to stay focused  on your goals in the present, the near and far future.  Focus on the positive things that will give you the right outcome and  the motivation that you desire. 

- To reach your goals keep reminding yourself “why” are you doing this. keep going forward towards your success and keep doing everything positive that takes you towards your goals. It’s just like climbing a high mountain, “keep looking up and do not look down”. 

- By remembering your “why”, it will give you the focus that you will need to drive forward to be motivated as your vision comes into your life . As you master more of these “goals” then the energy will come automatically and will be a natural part of your life and there will be nothing stopping you.

- Stay centered on the reasons “why” you are doing this. It’s important to set up your goals “of what you want” with the outcome. If you do not have a reason to get up, do something to propel yourself forward, find one to get you going. Ask yourself, what do I want, how can I get there and what is the path to archive it. The path may not always be clear, but just keep on moving forward and it will become clear.

 Believe In Yourself.

It’s important to believe in yourself, I know,  it’s hard, when you are tired and  sometimes you find yourself down and in the dumps. Now feeling down or feeling fine is really only a state of mind. The world is full of negative, news, TV etc. , it seems that it is only what the mass’s want to hear, negativity feeds the hungry.  We need to surround ourselves with as much positive things as possible, only in this way can we shield our thoughts from  things that will bring us down.   

- Stay positive in your thoughts, have confidence in your yourself and your abilities, remember that we are all different, but each one has a special talent and will always excel in it, if they just stay positive and believe in themselves.

- Staying positive can really be a life challenge, but by keeping up and pushing forward you will be able to have it work for you on a automatic basis. It is important in the beginning to learn “how” to program your sub-couscous mind so it will work for you without you always being aware of what you are doing. One example of the sub-mind is when you are walking, you do not say , right foot move forward then left foot move forward, no you do not, for your body has programmed your sub-mind to act automatically to have you walk.

Another example is, how many times have you walked a few blocks and then looked back and you did not remember walking down the street, stopping for the lights, crossing the streets or things that you have passed. It’s you sub-mind that takes over your body and guilds you to where you are going without you even being aware of what you are doing. So we can program our sub-mind to accept only positive things and reject out the negative , all automatically. 

- What do Achievers have different than you, they have the same mortal body, they have feelings, they feel pain and they are not indestructible, they are just like you and everyone else. The only thing different is the way they “think”, they have controlled their thinking process and programmed it for success. They have built up their thought process to “believe in “themselves” and programmed their sub-mind to act on automatic. 

Keep  Repeating. 

Just keep saying to yourself, that “If they could do it, so can I”.  So start to take the steps toward your Goals, remember practice makes perfect.  Do not give up, do not look back, chest up, and move forward and everything will come into place.  

Health Booster Garlic Soup -- Weight Loss -- Magic Diet

Health  Booster  Garlic Soup -- Weight Loss -- Magic Diet

What could be better  than something to help your  immunity system  when you need it most during a diet or weight loss plan.  Every extra bit helps you to fight off viruses  or any other nasty bugs looking to get you and bring you down. By eating this soup often you will find that it will give you a boost to your  body that you can actually feel as it goes through your system.  

I added  some chili because this spice helps to activate  and elevates  your  metabolism to increase blood flow  and to burn off those extra calories.  As you eat this soup you will start to feel a warmth going through your body  and a sense  of wellbeing. Also  you  should feel a slight clearing of your nasal passages as  it starts to clean  and  clear your  system.  Also I find that I will get a small headache that only lasts for about 5 minutes after eating the soup, but nothing to fear because I know that I’ am going through a detoxifying stage when I have this soup. 

Now one thing that I need to “warn” everyone  is you should always see  a Medical Doctor before you decide to go on any diet or exercise  program.  Also this soup is made only by natural ingredients that you will find in any home and is safe to make, but you should always take anything in moderation and if you feel anything that is not normal, then you should get your question answered by a MD. Never take anything for granted, from any recipe or anything else you could be taking for weight loss or a diet.

I hope this Garlic Soup helps you were you need it and I know you will just love it. Please send me your comments on how it worked for you. 

************************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

6 to 8 Cloves -  Minced  garlic
3 Slices - Rye bread
1 Sm. - Onion
1 - Egg

1 to 1/2  Tbsp. -  Veggie stock (low- sodium) or other.
1/2 Tsp. - Sweet paprika
1/3 to 1/2 Tsp. - Chilli
3 Tbsp. - Olive oil  ( 1 Tbsp. reserved)

1/4 to 1/2 Cup - Milk

Salt and pepper to taste.

Options; 
1/2 Cup - Red sweet peppers
2 Stocks - Green onions
1 Med. - Carrot
1 Med. - Leek





************************************************************************************************************

Go ahead and add the amount of garlic you want. Here I used about  half a bulb, thats about  6 to 8 cloves it just right for me. 

Try it with different types of garlic and change the olive oil to give you that variety in your soup.

Make sure that you have the heat settings on a med.-low to or on low for you do not want the garlic to burn, but to just blend into the oil to give it a full rich flavour. Try to not over cook the oil nor the garlic, for it will give you a bitter taste in the soup if you do.

For me, I really like "rye" bread instead of whole wheat because of the texture and the taste. Also, did you know that the rye bread is just as good for you as the whole grain ones. Please see the article on this bread by clicking this link. "Why is rye bread like whole wheat or is good for you" . Of course you can use plain white bread if you want, and it will turn out just as good but without the benefits of the other breads.

I have a rule that all herbs are good for you and I try to use as much as I can in my recipes, with as much varieties as I can without stopping. So go ahead and add as much as you want and make it your way.

Skinny Chicken Magic Diet Soup - Weight Loss

Skinny Chicken Magic Diet Soup - Weight Loss

Now after  a lot of e-mail’s  asking me to get another  Magic Diet Soup  recipe,  so  this time I added a little more umff !! with some meat, so here’s the  soup  for you to lose the weight.

I have used this soup before during my weight loss program that I started using this first Soup here "Magic Diet Soup - Lose Weight Fast - Low Gi." Although this soup is  a med GI , because of the carrots I find it works just great on its own because the protein just sticks to your ribs and lasts linger in your system .

I hope it works for you like it worked for me, and yes  I do make this soup very often,  say about  twice a month just to keep my diet under control. Also you can change the soup by just adding some meat to it and there you go the same diet soup, but with a different protein.

Please let me know how yours turned out and did you add anything different to it. Also try all my diet recipe's here  "Weight Loss - Magic Diet'

*********************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

1  Lbs. - Chicken breasts

1 Med. - Carrot
1 Med. - Parsnip
1 Med. - Leek
1 Med. - Onion
2 to 3 Cloves - Garlic
1/4 Cup - Parsley
1/4 Cup - Chives
1/4 Cup - Dill
1 1/2 Cube - Chicken stock (low-sodium)
1/2 Cup - Rice (white or brown)

Salt and pepper to taste

 Options; 

1 Tsp. - Tomato paste
1/4 Cup - Green onions
1 Med. - Celery root 

*********************************************************************************************************

Here I'am using only chicken breasts, but you can really use any part from the chicken, as long as you remove most of the fat and all the skin.

Try it with beef or a different type of meat, it will all be good and  it will give you more of a variety for your diet plan.

Go ahead any add any type of veggies you like,  add more or less, whatever you want.

Make it your way, afterall it's your soup, just remember to add only low-sodium stock to it, the less salt the better. 

Add water to about  2 inches above the veggie line. If you find that you want more of a liquid  soup more then a thick one, then add more water until you get it exactly perfect for you. Remember to adjust the stock to accommodate the extra water to keep the soup tasteful.

Add rice or celery root, for I very often use the root to substitute the potato to give me of  a lower GI soup. Anyway you do it, it still will be awesome and be perfect for you diet plan. Also to get it all to a low GI, then substitute the carrots with red peppers and use the celery root.

Go ahead and make it your way. Try to use the herbs fresh for it will give you more of a clean fresh flavour.

Stuffed Peppers Hamburger Recipe

Stuffed Peppers Hamburger Recipe

This recipe is from something that  your Grandmother would make and serve to their Family  with all the fixings that make it just a perfect compact meal. I like to make a nice fresh salad to go with it with some light tasting  oil like olive oil  with a sprinkle of some herbs. It really goes with really any kind of side dish for the  natural flavor of the stuffed peepers  really enhance the  taste buds.

Let me know how yours turned out.  

****************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

2 Med. - bell peppers any color
1/2 Lb. - Ground beef
1 Sm. - Onion
2 Cloves - Garlic
1 Cup - Cooked rice
1/4 Cup - Ketchup
1 Med.- Tomato
2 Tbsp. - Olive oil
1/2 to 1 Tsp. - Oregano
1/2 to 1 Tsp. - Paprika
1/2 Tsp. - Maggie or HP sauce

Salt and Pepper to taste. 


Options; 
- Chilli peppers or sauce to taste.
- Tomato sauce for bottom of dish

****************************************************************************************************

Usually you just cut out the tops and fill the pepper with your rice mixture and that is fine, but I find it is easier to handle on the plate when there are down lying down. It really does not matter for it will turn out just awesome every time. 

I like to use a medium ground beef for I like the extra taste because it has a pit more fat. Now if you are watching your weight then I would go towards a more leaner meat. 

In this recipe I added a fresh tomato and I did not drain it because I want the tomato juice to be incorporated into the rice for a more full flavour.  

It's always good to have some extra sauce to add to the peppers when you serve it. So a fast way to do it is to just add a bit of water and with ketchup. Now if you do not like this method, then you can add some tomato sauce and add whatever you would like to make it your way. 

Now I made two stuffed peppers here or 2 halves for it's only for my Girlfriend and I, but this size dish would five  upright  peppers or  6 halfs.

I hope you will enjoy the recipe.
