2008-01-12 Confessions of a Food Junkie - NAM

Most people are primitive in their attitude to food. We are a hunting-and-gathering species, and it ensures our survival to eat when we see food. This was useful when the caveman had to work hard to get a meal. If he was partial to auroch (a prehistoric ox), he would have to stalk and slay one; in order to prolong the availability of the meat, he would probably eat a little of it and store the rest in a cool part of his cave. But if this same person were offered a chance to have auroch 24/7, smoked, grilled or baked, smothered in wine-and-cheese sauce, chicken-fried or as nuggets with hot sauce, to eat-in or take-out, with a million different side-dishes, just to name a few options, he would have eaten more.

2008-01-06 A Recipe For Wheat Free Hazelnut Cookies food, hazelnut cookies, recipe FitSugar - Fitness, Health and Well-Being.

One of my favorite Winter weekend activities is to bake cookies with my girls. The oven heats up the house and the simple act of baking keeps the young ones entertained during bouts of inclement weather. While these wheat free, butter free cookies will always be cookies and not health food, they are a rather healthy version of a sweet treat. These hazelnut cookies contain no butter and no flour, which is a boon for people with wheat allergies. In fact, I make these hazelnut cookies every year for my friends that need to eat wheat free just cause they cant handle that grain doesnt mean they need to go without holiday cookies.

2008-01-23 Irene Rubaum-Keller: Environmental Control for Weight Control - Living on The Huffington Post

I personally cannot live without a daily fix of chocolate, frozen yogurt, cookies, or all of the above. I have learned, however, that I cannot handle having an entire bag of my favorite cookies in the house. Why Because I will eat them. I dont just mean, eat a few a day (although sometimes this does happen). I mean eat all of them. Maybe not all at once but over a day or two an entire bag of cookies can be gone. I have found small bags of my favorite cookies that are safe. Even if I eat the whole thing, the damage is not too bad. The same goes for chocolate. I cant have a pound box in my house but I can go and get a few of my favorite pieces and leave the scene. If you are considering buying something you might overeat, try this phrase: "If its made it in the car, its gone too far. " The other tip is to total up the

Simple commitment devices can improve self-control and ultimately food choices. Online and preordered grocery plans remove immediacy from the equation. By preordering you commit your purchases to your needs and eliminate the temptation of being lured into less healthful choices at the store. At this point it is very unlikely, but supermarkets and restaurants could offer gift cards that are programmed to purchase only fresh fruits and vegetables or healthy menu items. School lunches and college feeding programs are more likely to opt for this commitment plan. Students and parents could choose ahead what food items will be covered by their debit card and require another form of payment for less healthy items.

Cinnabon is among the best of the literal scent advertisers - those who use the scent of their wares to lure passersby. Indeed, an increasing number of food retailers use aromatic amplification to entice customers. The latest on the block is KFC, which is using the aroma of its world-famous chicken on mail carts to seduce the taste buds of cubicle-dwellers during pre-lunch postal deliveries. The shocker is that rarely are these delicious aromas from real food. Most of these mouth-watering, dinner-date-stopping scents are synthetics prepared by an aromachemical company and diffused through special apparatuses in and around the purchase locale. Scent marketing doesnt stop at food aromas, Bloomingdales in New York recently promoted a new Donna Karan perfume by dispensing the scent outside its doors at 59th Street and Lexington

Maybe youre feeling like I doif you never see a plate of cookies, box of candy or line-up of pastries again, itll be too soon. The holidays are about giving, and that often means edible goodies. Even beverages were on overload: eggnog, hot chocolate and mulled wine. By the time the new year began, millions of Americans had promised that this year they will lose weight, this time they will follow through on the resolution to start healthy eating habits.

2008-01-31 Football cookies are Super treats

For a final touch, I decided to top each cookie with a design resembling the laces on footballs, made from a classic royal icing of confectioners sugar and egg white. I know that some people are cautious about using raw eggs, for fear of food poisoning, so let me add this word of advice from the American Egg Board: "Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing yolks and whites with their shells. " Or, simply leave the icing laces off, or substitute a tube of white decorating icing from your markets baking section.
