Deadly bomb hits Shiite bus in Karachi
A bomb struck a bus taking Shiite Muslims to a protest rally in Pakistan's city of Karachi on Friday, killing one man and wounding 11 others, police said.
The attack came one day after 20 Shiites were hauled out of vehicles in the northwest and shot dead by gunmen dressed in military fatigues.
"A low-intensity bomb planted near a bus stand in Gulistan-e-Jauhar neighbourhood exploded and hit a car and a bus," senior police official Shahid Hayat told AFP.
"The bomb killed a man in the car and injured 11 others, most of whom were bus passengers," Hayat said.
The bus was carrying around 40 Shiites to a rally marking solidarity with the Palestinians and to demonstrate against Thursday's sectarian killings.
Police said it was unclear if the Shiites were targeted in Karachi.
"We can't say it was aimed at the bus as the bomb mainly hit the car. But we are investigating," said a police official on the condition of anonymity.
Karachi is Pakistan's financial capital. Ethnic, sectarian and politically-linked violence has killed at least 1,100 people so far this year in the city, according to Pakistan's leading human rights organisation.

Story Time dominant in the Coral Brighton Belle ? Heat 5
The two-year-old, Story Time, has been busy adding success stories on her profile. She is the most reliable entry today with recent lined up hat-trick coupled with training sessions that have added to her form. She has earned herself the entry in the Coral Brighton Belle ? Heat 5 on Thursday, 16th August at Hove over 515 metres.
The race has promised the winner ?150 prize money and for contesting it five more hounds are taking chances today. Completing the line-up are Parkwest Angel, Droopys Hiss, Confident Ramona, Ballintine Molly, and Cougar Flash.
Ballymac Maeve?s blue, brindle and white daughter started racing during this season and has proved herself through the tenure. Story Time has lost only one race ever since the new season took off and has been trained four times.
She won the Bedford Road Puppy on 23rd February, 2012 at Henlow over 460 metres. She did not wait for long to set into speed and did not let go off the speed. The tactic got her the race in 27.49 seconds while she led by the margin of 1 ? lengths.
Finishing the closest to the winner was, Be Real.
After finishing fifth, the trainer, B. Turner, thought the better of it and trained his under charge thrice, once at Romford and twice at Henlow. The sessions worked just as intended as the two-year-old struck a hat-trick.
On 22nd June, 2012, she won a 460 metres race at Henlow. She raced away quickly, raced from the middle and then led for the remaining distance. Story Time concluded the race in 28.32 seconds and won by the margin of a length.
The second pillar of the hat-trick surfaced on 26th July, 2012 at Henlow over 460 metres. She made it to the other end of the wire in 27.90 seconds with four lengths margin right under her belt.
Story Time?s final strike was in the Grade A1 460 metres flat at Henlow on 3rd August, 2012. After breaking from the third trap, she burst into speed and timed the track distance in 27.40 seconds and won by the margin of five lengths.

Pandora: The Handheld Console for Linux Tweakers | SemiAccurate
Aug 17, 2012 in Channel, Consoles, Gaming, Humor, Microprocessors, Mobile, Software, theintertubes
It?s often best to let those who care the most about ?a product describe it in detail. As such we asked Micheal to give us a run down of what specifically the Pandora is.
Many of our readers many not know very much about the Pandora, so can you describe the product to me?
That?s pretty hard, as it can do so many things it?s hard to put it into one category. Well, basically, it?s a miniature Linux PC the size of a Nintendo DS, so way smaller than a Netbook. So you got a pretty neat keyboard, a high-res touchscreen, an incredible battery time (over 10 hours in normal usage) and can do things you can do on a normal PC. Coding, Office Work, Websurfing, etc. However, that?s not all. You also have a proper DPad and buttons to play games ? and we made sure these are one of the best (as we?re gamers ourselves). So you can both replay classic games (SNES, Genesis, Arcade, Amiga, C64, Playstation, etc.), play Linux or Homebrew games or even code your own games. And another special thing is: It?s open. If you want to run Android on it, you can do so. You rather want Debian, Slackware or Ubuntu? You?re free to do that. It?s up to you what you want to do with your Pandora. We won?t lock you down. Heh, and you can also chat with the creators of the device ? ever tried doing this with the PSVita or Samsung Galaxy chief developer?
A lot of people believe that the commercial?success?of hardware products, like this one, is decided by whether or not it has a ?killer? feature. To that end we wanted to know what Micheal thought was the most important feature that the Pandora has to offer.
What is your favorite function of the current Pandora?
Besides being able to play my PlayStation RPG-Collection on-the-go, I?d say it?s not a function but the community behind it. It?s so much fun seeing first versions of new games or ports ? and then following the improvements and enhancements which are being included and discussed by and with the community. That?s awesome. It?s also nice being able to play Android games with proper gaming controls and NOT having to fear that they gather any personal contact data from your system.
One of the more harrowing details of the history of the Pandora as a product has been the countless production mishaps, thus we thought it would be nice to see?approximately?how big the user base is for the Pandora.
Approximately how many units of the Pandora have been shipped?
Should be about 4000 now.
While 4000 units is a number that compares poorly to mainstream consoles (and Windows Phone 7 sales /pun), it actually a testament?to how dedicated the team at OpenPandora is to their product. This is especially?apparent?when you consider how difficult it is to get a project like this one off the ground, and after you?ve read through some of the news posts on the OpenPandora?forums that?describe?in detail the?difficulties?of manufacturing the Pandora.
Speaking of manufacturing, the Pandora is a product whose design has continued to evolve since its inception.
The latest version of Pandora seems to have amassed quite a few improvements compared the initial batches back in 2010, what?s changed?
The first initial batch really had some issues. The LCD Cable failed after a while, the nubs did as well. The case also had some weak spots which easily broke. The CPU used back then also had some bugs which have been removed in the current versions. Luckily, all these things were fixable. The new LCD Cables don?t fail anymore ? and if an old one fails, we?re replacing it with the new one. Same with the nubs. The case has been improved as well and the weak spots have been strengthened. Oh, and the new units got more RAM ? and we also have upcoming versions with a faster CPU. However, all these units are using the same OS and are compatible. This was very important for us.
Moving the focus onto an aspect of the Pandora that its larger?competitors?like to talk about, we wanted to learn more about the ecosystem surrounding the Pandora.
What do you think is the strongest draw to the Pandora, and it?s ecosystem, for prospective users?
It surely depends on the user. I love that the Pandora is open, everyone is welcome to hack on it and play around as much as he likes. And the OS is not crippled ? it?s a fully fledged Linux OS. Also, there are no hidden costs. You buy the Pandora once and there?s no need to pay any additional fees or buy games. Well, okay, you need at least one SD Card; And being able to run homebrew and emulators without having the everlasting fight between hackers and manufacturers is great as well. However, while these are strong points for the users who love the Pandora, it also are the weak points for some others. Being open and uncrippled means that it?s a bit more complicated to use than an Android smartphone for example, as it?s a lot more flexible. You can compare it to a normal desktop PC: Even inexperienced users can use stuff like an iPad, but a desktop PC with many possibilities is too complex to them. It doesn?t mean the Pandora is hard to use. If you are experienced enough to know what a ZIP-Archive is, you should be able to use a PC.
The Pandora is not meant to compete for the same class of users that Apple and Nintendo branded products are aimed at. Instead it?s designed to meet the needs of users who are really interested in knowing and understanding exactly how to get what they want from their hardware.
What does the future hold for you and the Pandora?
Who knows? Hopefully, it will continue to sell well. As?the Pandora is?not being made by a huge company in a developing country, the price is high compared to other devices, like smartphones. However, if you check the message boards,?almost everyone will tell you it?s worth the price. We are hoping we?ll be able to continue development and release a Pandora 2 at some point? An OMAP5 with quadcore would surely rock. But it would only make sense if we made money with the Pandora 1 to fund the development of a sequel.
The ~$500 price is the biggest and most obvious draw back to the Pandora, but as any BMW or Audi salesman will be happy to remind you, there is some merit to owning a product of Germany.
What are your thoughts on the sales decline of dedicated hand held gaming consoles (like the PS Vita, and the 3DS) over the past few years?
As far as I know, the 3DS sells pretty well now that it has?some good games available. The PS Vita is technically an impressive console ? but it doesn?t offer?a new in gaming experience. Gamers who have been playing games for years are looking for good games, not only good hardware. As can be seen with all these remakes of classic games we get today (Rayman, Speedball 2, etc.), it?s not all about graphics, it?s about fun and gameplay. And MANY classic old games have more charming appeals than the latest and greatest games. If the PS Vita had more interesting games, it would sell better. I?m also one of these gamers: I only buy a console when there are good games out there. I have a 3DS, but no Vita yet. And I just bought a PS3 ? as Tales of Xillia is coming out now. So as long as the new devices don?t offer anything except for a bit better graphics, they won?t sell.
Micheal hit the nail on the head here. Many pundits often?talk about the early troubles of mainstream console products such as the 3DS and?cite the lack of substantive advantages that they can offer?over their predecessors as their biggest drawbacks, and they are not wrong when they do so.
Open Pandora is a very open and community oriented company, what is it like to try and maintain those principals day in and day out?
Oh, it?s pretty easy for me, as I?ve always been honest and open and always loved achievements?that were made by a community and not a company.
Recently Open Pandora held?an app competition in perparation of a new production run of Pandora units. This event was called the pandora Rebirth Competition.
Are you pleased with how the Pandora Rebirth Competition went?
Yes, there were some pretty neat releases PNDManager really enhances the Pandora a lot. It?s basically an app manager like Google Marketplace ? but way more comfortable and nicer (well, in my opinion).
Closing out our interview with Micheal, we decided to hit him with a question that, while a little clich?, often offers a little tastes of a different perspective.
If you could return to the early days of Pandora development and give yourself, or one of your colleagues, a piece of advice, what would it be?
That?s easy: Always work with companies you can easily reach with your car in case anything goes wrong. It might cost more money, but it really helps. That?s the reason the Pandora PCB is now being produced here in Germany and future cases will be produced in England, right around Craigs corner (the iCP case is already being made there). It really is the only way to ensure reliable production.
So if you?re into retro gaming and handheld Linux consoles it would not hurt to spend a little time checking out with the Pandora has to offer.?And if you?re planning on attending this year?s gamescon in Cologne you can find Micheal and some of the other Open Pandora guys in hall 10.1, at stand F70. Thanks again to Micheal for finding the time to do this interview.S|A

12 Health Dangers of Cooking Food at High Temperatures ...
by?Diana Herrington?- Care2
What Happens When We Cook Food at High Temperatures
1. 30% to 50% of the?vitamins and minerals?are destroyed. We lose up to 97% of the water-soluble vitamins (Vitamins B & C) and up to 40% of the lipid-soluble vitamins (Vitamins A, D, E & K).
2.?Protein?becomes coagulated, making it less digestible (studies suggest that cooked proteins are up to 50% less likely to be utilized by the body.)
3. Overly cooked foods ferment more easily, causing them to putrefy?in the intestinal tract creating candida and body odor as it eliminates.
4. Digestion of cooked food demands much more energy?than the digestion of raw food. Most raw food is much more easily digested, passing through the digestive system in at least one-third of the time it takes for cooked food.
5. Cooked food is acid-forming;?most raw food is alkaline-forming. To read more on the benefits of an alkaline diet:?10 Benefits of A Properly Alkalized Body
6. It creates?enzyme-dead foods:?90-100% of its enzymes have been destroyed. These are needed for every metabolic action in the body. Extreme high heat used in the production of processed foods, while pasteurizing the product, also kills all the live enzymes.
7. Oxalic acid, which occurs in over 50 fruits and vegetables, becomes harmful when cooked.?This includes such?powerfoods?as?spinach?and?dandelion greens. The calcium binds with the oxalic acid in the blood to neutralize it, forming calcium compounds that are difficult for the body to excrete; this may lead to kidney stones.
8. White blood cells increase when food is cooked; the body reacts to cooked food in the same way it reacts to infection.
9. Cooked fiber passes through the digestive system more slowly?than raw food. It is then more likely to ferment, causing toxins, gas and heartburn.?Cooked foods can take up to 24 or 48 hours or longer to digest?hard work for the body for a few nutrients!
10. The pancreas enlarges as a result of over-stimulation from cooked food; eventually it breaks down, according to studies. Years of abuse to the pancreas cause it to secrete fewer enzymes which may cause digestive problems or diabetes.
11. Unsaturated oils in cooked foods become rancid within a few hours, even in the refrigerator. The saturated fat and trans fat in deep-fried foods increase your risk for high cholesterol and heart disease. Deep-fried foods also may contain acrylamide, a possible carcinogen; foods fried at higher temperatures or for longer contain more than those fried for shorter times or at lower temperatures.
12. All?processed?foods are?cooked?foods, which come with packaging that is polluting this world.
Cooked food is not bad; it is all about balance and knowing what your body needs. I am not a 100% raw food eater. I love my cooked millet, brown rice, vegetables and homemade baked beans. Actually this list could go on, but you get the idea.
When I was unwell with a digestive system that did not work well (I could only eat 12 foods), I could not eat any raw food.? My naturopath doctor wanted to get some simple nourishment into my declining body; he asked me to drink organic, freshly-made carrot juice. The first glass caused me to go into painful gut spasms an hour later. He advised me to drink less, but each time it was the same, just a lesser degree of pain. Even a sip caused an intense journey into pain an hour later.? Those same carrots cooked worked well in my digestive system, so I was not allergic to carrots, as some of you might be thinking. Simply put, I could not consume raw food.
Now with a digestive system that works, my food is 40-90% raw, depending on the season. I love carrot juice and never have an adverse affect from drinking it now.
What I am saying is you have to listen to your own body and give it what it needs?and I do believe from personal experience and research that including some fresh raw food is good for most of us.
Cooking Food at High Temperatures Does Destroy Enzymes!
At 212 degrees, 100% of the enzymes are destroyed.? When our diet is enzyme-deficient (too much cooked food), the body has to supply the extra enzymes needed. The pancreas and other organs become overworked, which can exhaust them, causing the loss of the ability to digest foods.
Research found thirty times more enzymes in the saliva of young adults than in that of persons sixty-nine years of age. (Howell, E. Enzyme Nutrition. Avery Publishing Co. 1985)
According to Dr. Howell, ?This may be the direct cause of cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, and many other chronic incurable diseases.?? It is no wonder that after a lifetime of ingesting an enzyme-deficient diet, the pancreas becomes so exhausted that it does not function properly. This may explain why so many of these diseases are becoming much more prevalent.
What to Do?
- Eat some raw food every day.
- Start the day at breakfast with a piece of raw fruit or a smoothie made with raw fruits and greens. Learn how to make and eat one in a new way here:??Diana?s Green Smoothie with a Difference
- Have one salad a day.? Here is a simple tasty one:??Power Spinach Salad
- For snacks have fresh piece of fruit.
- When cooking, use the lowest heat possible for the job with the least time possible. Steaming is better for nutrients? than stir frying; stir frying is much better than deep frying.

7 Tips for Writing & Publishing Your First Ebook | Personal Branding ...
Writing and publishing an ebook is proven success strategy for branding yourself as an expert in your field.
Ebooks offer a significantly faster branding strategy than previous publishing options.
Although success is never guaranteed, the 7 tips that follow, however, will increase the likelihood of your personal branding success during today?s period of rapid change.
What?s changed, and what remains the same
Until recently, it could take years to locate and convince a traditional publisher that you had a sellable book idea.
Then, it wold take even more time for them to edit, produce, print, and distribute your book.
Now, however, you can get your ebook into your prospect?s hands in a fraction of a time!
Speed, however, is no substitute for planning.
Although publishing technology has rapidly changed, the fundamentals of writing and publishing success remain the same.
The trick is to write an ebook that will resonate with your prospects while simultaneously pre-selling your expertise and building your personal brand.
7 tips for writing & publishing a successful ebook
You can heighten the probability of your ebook?s success by addressing the following 7 issues before you start to write:
- Readers. Start by discarding the ?best-seller? mentality! Your goal is not to become a bestselling author. Your goal is much simpler: to promote your competence and expertise to your ideal readers?those you want as future clients and prospects. Traditional publishing has always been based on selling a lot of books to a lot of strangers. Your success, however, involves targeting for reader quality, not quantity. This involves creating reader personas describing your ideal readers and their information needs.
- Benefits. Next, make a list of how your book is going to benefit your readers. In order for your book to build your personal brand, it must help readers solve their problems or achieve their goals. It must help them increase their sales or reduce their costs. It must help them save time or increase their productivity. The more benefits you include in your book?s title, the more success you?ll enjoy.
- Purpose. Why do you want to write and publish an ebook? It?s not enough to say, to build my brand. You have to know exactly how you?re going to benefit from your book. The best way to do this is to prepare a mission statement for your book. Your mission statement should provide a roadmap for your career success,? describing how you will convert ebook readers to coaching and consulting clients or prospective buyers of your future information products like e-courses, special reports, or videos.
- Format. How are you going to organize the contents of your ebook? Format involves addressing both content and design issues. Content issues involve deciding between a step-by-step, or ?procedural,? approach versus a case study approach. You can also organize your book?s contents in terms of questions and answers, or best practices. Design issues involve choosing either a portrait, or vertical, orientation for your pages, or landscape, or horizontal, page layout. Page length also plays a role.
- Promotion. How are you going to promote your ebook? No matter how well your ebook turns out, quality?by itself?is no guarantee that ideal readers are going to discover it. Marketing and promotion are your responsibility! It?s up to you to bring your ebook to the attention of your ideal readers. In most cases, you?ll want to analyze your current online presence and decide if it provides the author platform you need to attract, convert, and upsell your ideal readers.
- Leverage. Look for ways to use your ebook to support every aspect of your career. Instead of parenthetically referring to your ebook in your personal marketing, make your ebook the core element in your personal brand. Leverage your ebook throughout your marketing and activities and keep it as fresh and updated as possible.
- Followup. A single ebook is seldom enough for years of personal branding success. Think of your ebook and your brand as seedlings that need to be constantly nurtured. Each new edition of your ebook, and each followup ebook, will shine more light on your brand. Accordingly, when choosing the title for your first ebook, look for a title that you can support with companion books and ebooks. Think of Jay Conrad Levinson?s 30+ years of success based on over 100 Guerrilla Marketing books!
Perspective
A lot has changed during the past three years of Author?s Corner Personal Branding Blog posts.
The fundamentals, however, remain the same. Writing a book can completely change your life, the same way it changed my life.
However, more than ever, you have to be strategic in your approach. You can?t allow yourself to be distracted by new tools and new opportunities. You must constantly focus on your readers and on your career, while learning from the success of others who have created successful brands in the past.
It?s also important to enjoy the process of watching your ideas take shape on the screen of your computer or iPhone! And, as you move forward, share your concerns, experiences, and questions below, as comments!

?
For a healthy person Weight Loss is simple: burn more calories than you consume. Your healthiest weight is determine by height to weight ratio or Body Mass Index (BMI) and the amount of fat in your body. Unfortunately over 60% of the North American population are considered to be overweight according to the BMI index because of unhealthy diet with foods high in saturated fat and trans fat, causing many diseases and becoming a heavy burden to our national heath care system.
For many people losing weight is easy, but keeping that lost weight is the big problem. In fact if you have a permanent weight loss plan, you will have no problem maintaining that lost weight.
I) Tips to Trick your Body Into Losing Weight For many people losing weight is easy, but keeping that lost weight is the big problem. In fact if you have a permanent weight loss plan, you will have no problem maintaining that lost weight. Here are some tips that may help and you might want to keep them in mind in daily diets.

3. Foods to avoid Avoid eating foods that are high in saturated and trans fat. Dip fried foods can contain high calories and any extra fat will be stored away for future use, causing weight gain. Also saturated fat and trans fat might cause arteries to clogg up with bad cholesterol, resulting in heart diseases.
4. Limit food variety An overload of food will make you go beyond fullness just because you want to taste everything. Limit only a few selection of snacks in your house so you will eat less, because you will get tired of the same old foods.

Therefore you might intake a lot of calories, but your stomach will still feel hungry.
II) lose weight With Foods Containing High Amount of Fiber Since fiber improves large intestine function and keeps the muscles of the large intestine strong, it speeds up the transit time of food and increases the size of stool (fecal bulk), thereby helping prevent constipation and hemorrhoids. Foods that contain fiber are typically low in fat and therefore it is a very important component in weight control as well. In this article we will discuss why foods containing high amounts of fiber can eventually make you lose weight.
1. Foods high in fiber offer more food per calories Since most fiber can not be digested in your stomach, they have a negative calorie effect. Fiber also help to trick your stomach into feeling full with less calories than you would normally eat.
2. Prolong your meal High fiber foods require lots of chewing and swallowing. Therefore it takes longer for you to finish your meal.
3. Fill up your stomach Water soluble fiber absorbs water from your stomach and forms a kind of gel that swells up, causing receptors in your stomach to signal your brain that you are still full and no longer need to eat.
4. Stabilizes blood sugar Foods containing high fiber such as whole grain, and dried bean release their sugar slowly into blood streams thus supporting blood glucose stability to help weight loss. Also a high fiber meal can affect blood sugar?s response to the next meal, keeping your blood sugar more stable throughout the day.
5. Boost your Hormones Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, a small protein that is naturally produced in the human body and can slow the digestive process and giving a sense of fullness, causing you to lose weight.

III. How To Lose Weight with Foods Substitution The healthiest weight is determine by height to weight ratio or Body Mass Index (BMI) and the amount of fat in your body. Unfortunately over 60% of the North American population is considered to be overweight, according to the BMI index. We also have discussed the negative weight loss in the article ?Foods make you lose weight?. In this article we will to discuss How To Lose Weight with food substitutions in your diets.
1. Dip fried food is crunchy and tasty, but it contains lots of saturated fat that causes arteries to build up with cholesterol, heart disease and unhealthy weight gain. You can avoid these by steaming, stirring and consuming more cold water fish.
2. Adding one teaspoon of hot pepper and mustard to every meal will raise metabolic rate by as much as 25 percent.
3. Replace the cream in your recipe with low fat sour cream or low fat evaporated milk.
4. Don?t smother your baked potato with butter or sour cream. Replace it with salsa or low fat chili.
5. Use olive oil or canola oil instead of animal oils or vegetable oils.
6. Add nuts in your diet. Nuts tend to be high in fat and nutrition, so include them in your diet but do not overdo it.
7. Substitute mungbean paste for butter in peanut butter cookies to lower fat and increase fiber.

If you have a healthy diet plan that contains a lot of fruits, vegetables, less meat and dairy foods andare low in saturated and trans fat, it will help you to lose weight and keep it off longer. In this article, beside some other diet plans, we find that some herbs can help you to lose weight and keep it off forever:

Fennel seeds also aid in digesting and promotes the functioning of the liver, kidneys, and spleen, thereby ensuring the healthy processing and elimination of dietary fat.
2. Cleavers Cleavers is one of the most well known tonics available to assist the lymphatic system with the healthy clearing of waste and toxins and is an excellent detoxifying agent. Cleavers are not known to lesson the appetite but rather accelerate the fat metabolism.
3. Raspberry leaves Red Raspberry leaves are very beneficial to the health of many people. Red Raspberry leaves can be used to treat a wide variety of problems.

V. How to Lose Weight with Common Sense Approach
Together with a healthy diet and consuming more of fruits, vegetables and meat and dairy foods that are low in saturated and trans fat would help you to lose weight and keep it off longer. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you would like to start any weight loss program. Here are some common sense approaches that might help you to lose weight:
1. Don?t skip your breakfast Skipping meals will only cause you to eat more in the next meal. After a long period of hunger, your stomach triggers the brain to release more chemicals that ask you to eat more (more than 2 meals combine) in the next meal.
2. Follow the BMI index According to the National Institution of Health, the definition of healthy weight is a BMI of 24 or less. Men and Women with a BMI of 25-30 are considered to be overweight. BMI is reliable for people from 19-70 years of age. Study reveals that for people over 64 years of age, the risk of dying from heart disease does not go up with a BMI between 25-27.

VI. How to Lose Weight with Mediterranean diet As we mentioned in the other articles, for a healthy person weight loss is simple: burn more calories than you consume. The healthiest weight is determine by height to weight ratio or Body Mass Index (BMI) and the amount of fat in your body. Unfortunately over 60% of the North American population is considered to be overweight, according to the BMI index. There must be something wrong with our diet. In faraway places such as Southern Italy and Greek, most people live longer than us because their diet contains lots of fruits and vegetables. The People in Southern Italy and Greek only eat fish and poultry a few times a week and meat a few times a month. Their diet is high in carbohydrates and only containing 8% of saturated fat. You can find some very good traditional Greek foods in you local restaurants. Here are some meals that I found very different than our diet:
1. Savor souvlaki Also known as shish kebob, it contains a large amount of vegetables and a small amount of meat. This is a meal with an average of about 300 calories and only 10 grams of fat with 1/5 of fat being saturated.
2. Pita Bread sandwich Pita bread sandwich includes hefty raw vegetable, some meat, feta cheese and cucumber sauce. It contains roughly 800 calories with 45 grams of total fat and half of that are saturated.
Unfortunately, under the influence of western diet, some of the meals that we found is no longer really Greek foods. They are high in meat and saturated fat, therefore please do not assume that all Greek restaurant are original Mediterranean diet.
Here are 2 recipes of original Mediterranean diet that not only helps you to lose weight but also reduces your high blood pressure and bad cholesterol level in result of lowering risk of heart diseases and strokes.
1.Sauce of yoghurt with dill ( Sources from Ellaia)
* Sauce of yoghurt with dill * 300 gm. yoghurt with low water content * 1 spoonful dry dill * 1 clove garlic, salt, pepper * 2 spoonfuls olive oil ELLAIA * 1 spoonful lemon juice. * We pulp the garlic in a mortar with little salt.
In a deep bowl we strike yogurt with garlic, the dill and the pepper and we continue with the olive oil and the lemon until they are mixed well. We maintain the mixture in the refrigerator. Accompanies vegetables and green salad.
2. Meat with plums ( Sources from Ellaia)
* 1,5 kg meat (pork, lamb, beef or even chicken) * 1 onion * salt, pepper, nutmeg * 1 cinnamon stick * 5-6 clovesjuice of 2 lemons * 2-3 spoonfuls olive oil ELLAIA * Half kg plums * 1 cup almonds * 2 spoonfuls sugar or honey * Wash the meat and cut it in portions. We put it in a basin and throw on the onion in big particles, salt, pepper, the cinnamon, cloves, the nutmeg and the juice of lemon. We leave the meat to be marinated for 2-3 hours and meanwhile we wet the plums in water in order to absorb water and also the almonds in order to be peeled easily. We put the olive oil in a saucepan and saut? the meat. We douse with the marinade liquid, we add 1-2 glasses hot water and we boil the meat in low temperature, until it gets soft. We put inside also the plums, the almonds and the honey or the sugar and we leave them to boil for a few minutes.
Finally we will provide you with a Mediterranean diet food list. It contains cheese, eggs, fish and sea food, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, olive oil, red wine, vegetables and yogurt.
On the top of the pyramid contains meat, poultry and on the lower broader base, there are dairy products, oils, fruits and vegetables.
VII. How to Lose Weight With Fiber Fiber is the portion of plant material that humans are not able to digest. There are two kinds of dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble. Both are important for proper bowel function. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, forming a gel in the intestines. Insoluble fiber passes through the digestive system almost intact, adding bulk to the stool and acting as a sponge to absorb water. If you have gone through all kinds of diet plans or programs such as diet pills and supplements, and despite all your efforts you can?t seem to lose weight, then you might be not eating enough fiber. Study shows that people eat as much as 60% of fiber everyday, 85% are in ideal weight. In the US they only average about 15% of fiber being consumed per person, this may be the the cause of obesity of 60% of adults.
Here are some foods that are high in fiber:
1. Dried Bean Dried bean is high in fiber and contains proteins. Fiber-rich dried beans like some other complex carbohydrates make you more likely to feel full sooner. Therefore, it is an ideal food for weight loss. Also a diet high in fiber can reduce the risk of colon cancer, as well as cholesterol levels that we know may cause heart diseases.
2. Acai Berry Acai Berry is filled with vitamins and minerals that can aid in weight loss, building muscle and increasing overall energy. Acai berry helps to increase your calorie consumption rate such as burning more calories doing the regular chores and exercises. This increased metabolism rate leads to substantial weight loss.
3. Whole Grain Products Whole grain cereals are very nutritional as they are a good source of vitamins, phytochemicals, and minerals that are needed in your day-to-day life. Whole grain products generally take a longer time to digest, and thus gives a feeling of fullness that discourages a person under a weight loss program from overeating. This is how it basically helps in weight loss.
4. Broccoli Broccoli not only has low calories, but is also inexpensive. Broccoli is one of the tastiest and healthiest vegetables, and it?s readily available year-round. Broccoli helps you lose weight because they are high in fiber and water, so you get a lot of food for a few calories.
5. Celery Celery has a high concentration of calcium that ignites your endocrine system. The hormones help to break up the accumulation of fat build up, resulting in weight loss.
6. Spinach Spinach is a dart green, negative calories vegetable. It is an excellent source of powerful disease fighting antioxidants and a good source of iron, vitamins and minerals. Spinach is loaded with fiber and one cup of steamed spinach has only 42 calories.
7. Nuts and Seeds Nuts and seeds are high in protein, nutrients and fiber. It contains lots of Omega fatty acids which means nuts and seeds can get you to feel more full and keep you from overeating in result of weight loss.
All of the above are the foods we eat daily, and contain high amounts of fiber that help to improve bowel function and transition time as well as weight loss.
VIII. Negative Calorie Foods
These foods causes you to lose weight because they contains such a small amount of calories that it takes more calories to digest them, then the food itself contains. An example would be a food that contains 25 calories, but takes 50 calories for you body to break down and digest.
Celery First if you?ve ever eaten celery you know it takes some work to chew, and with 1 stalk containing just 5 calories the chewing alone will probably burn more calories then the celery contains
