Just think about a starter of Thai coconut soup with a lobster salad, or pineapple fois gras bonbon… What wine would you choose to sharpen the taste of such delectable dishes? Would you serve creamy red Burgundy or light white Chardonnay to compliment pan-seared tile fish with the green asparagus foam that you drizzled over it?

You are stalking Dieting ...
1. Today, the art of making healthy soups is completely neglected in the United States.

However, in every great cuisine of the world – French, Russian, Italian, etc., natural soups form an integral part of culinary art. Continue reading ‘Soups around the World – Facts and Tips’

Something must be terribly wrong with conventional advice on “healthy dieting”. Millions of American women embrace a fat-free or vegetarian lifestyle, exercise vigorously, count calories, and… wind up succumbing to obesity, diabetes, depression, and a whole host of other degenerative diseases.
One of the big reasons we’re seeing more obesity in our society these days is that we are too stressed and busy to make healthy dinners at home, often opting to get fast food at the nearest drive-thru instead. Fast foods compromise the quality of the diet by replacing more healthy foods. Fast foods are known for having high content of saturated and trans-fat, low content of fiber and massive portion sizes, which leads to obesity.
Dieting Myths …
We are advised to eat foods, which are generally antagonistic to the human metabolism and make us look soggy and flabby:
- grains
- newfangled vegetable oils
- fibre
On top of that, restriction of healthy animal fats in the diet and over exercising:
Remember, certain fats are essential components of the human body. Essential fats make up the outer coating of nerve cells and form the basis of many hormones in the body – including the sex hormones. We need these lipids (a medical term for fats), but not the fat cells deposited in all the wrong places. So you can see that some fats are absolutely essential for a healthy body. You can eat certain fats in your diet, and at the same time remove the unsightly bulges of storage fat around your waist and hips.
- facilitate the process of tear and wear of your body
- deprive us of essential fat-soluble vitamins
- increase our risk of plunging into depression.
Women’s hormones and fat cells are extremely sensitive to carbohydrates and oils – this is why, if we follow conventional advise, we tend to gain weight easily and have such a hard time trying to shed extra pounds.
Avoid any carbohydrate that is – or can be – white. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1.5 hours of finishing a resistance-training workout of at least 20 minutes in length: bread, rice, cereal, potatoes, pasta, and fried food with breading. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe.

4. Stop counting calories – the theory of calories is a myth and it does not work.
5. Every day, engage in some moderate physical activity (walking, yoga, or Pilates).
Hit your local gym and perform some light exercises. You will soon start feeling relaxed and full of energy, all because you have successfully burned a lot of your body fat!
