Cartea de fa?? este scris? de un proasp?t diagnosticat cu diabet ?i so?ia lui. Niciunul dintre noi nu are studii de specialitate ?n nutri?ionism sau medicin?. Principiul de selec?ie a re?etelor a fost folosirea de ingrediente s?race ?n carbohidra?i, colesterol, sodiu ?i eliminarea, pe c?t posibil, a pr?jirii ?n ulei.Multe dintre re?etele selectate ini?ial au suferit modific?ri fie prin ?nlocuirea alimentelor bogate ?n carbohidra?i, prezente ?n cantit??i mari, cu alte alimente s?race ?n carbohidra?i, fie prin mic?orarea consistent? a gramajelor lor ?i completarea cu alte alimente ?prietenoase“ cu diabeticii.Aceste re?ete sunt doar un punct de plecare pentru dumneavoastr?. Pute?i crea propriile re?ete consult?nd tabelele nutri?ionale ale speciali?tilor ?n domeniu ?i folosind alimente preferate cu aport sc?zut de carbohidra?i.Restric?iile legate de alimentele ce trebuie consumate cu precau?ie probabil c? v? vor ?ngreuna demersul, ?ns? ve?i reu?i ?n timp s? v? crea?i re?ete delicioase personalizate.Nu uita?i ca de fiecare dat? c?nd crea?i o re?et? nou? s? c?nt?ri?i alimentele ?i s? calcula?i aportul nutri?ional per por?ie.?i nu ?n ultimul r?nd, fixa?i un meniu zilnic care s? nu dep??easc? acea cantitate maxim? de carbohidra?i, colesterol ?i sodiu recomandat? de medicul dumneavoastr?.A scrie o carte de re?ete pentru diabetici a venit nu ca un moft, ci ca o necesitate: nu g?seam pe pia?? nicio lucrare pe aceast? tem?. Ap?ruser? vreo dou? sau trei, dar se epuizaser?.Mai ?nt?i am c?utat s? aflu c??i carbohidra?i are fiecare aliment. Ave?i la finalul c?r?ii tabelul cu rezultatele acestui demers.

Ne putem modifica destinul genetic? Mitchell Gaynor, renumit medic cu decenii de experien?? ?n domeniu, spune c? da. ADN-ul nostru este afectat profund de tot ceea ce m?nc?m ?i bem, de m?sura ?n care avem sau nu o via?? sportiv?, de obiceiurile ?i tiparele care ne guverneaz? existen?a. Nu putem schimba genele cu care ne-am n?scut, dar putem ?mpiedica ?i inversa evolu?ia bolilor cronice, cu ajutorul alegerilor pe care le facem privind alimenta?ia, suplimentele ingerate ?i stilul de via??, activ?nd astfel genele bune ?i dezactiv?ndu-le pe cele rele. Abordarea revolu?ionar? a autorului pune accentul pe combaterea obezit??ii, a bolii coronariene, a diabetului, a cancerului ?i a ?mb?tr?nirii, ar?t?ndu-ne cum ne putem p?stra organismul s?n?tos ?i func?ional prin aplicarea unui plan de nutri?ie u?or de urmat. Planul este astfel conceput ?nc?t s? v? ajute s?: ? lupta?i cu cancerul, boala coronarian? ?i diabetul. Planul de terapie genic? educ? at?t pacien?ii, c?t ?i t?m?duitorii, pentru a atinge acest scop cuprinz?tor. Dr. Mitchell Gaynor se concentreaz? asupra modului ?n care putem folosi alimentele pentru a favoriza ?ns?n?to?irea. Aceast? carte nu se refer? doar la consumarea alimentelor s?n?toase pentru noi, ci la desc?tu?area puterii ascunse a hranei de a ne schimba predispozi?ia genetic? pentru anumite boli, sco??nd informa?ii dintr-o ramur? a geneticii numit? ecogenetic?. Aceasta reprezint? un domeniu aflat ?n plin? expansiune, care aplica filosofia medicinii personalizate, prin utilizarea anumitor substan?e, pentru a ?inti profilul genetic al unui pacient de a contracta boli precum cancerul, diabetul ?i boala coronarian?. Concentr?ndu-se asupra nutrien?ilor bioactivi, cum ar fi apigenina din grepfrut, EGCG (polifenolul epigalocatehingalate) din ceaiul verde ?i curcumina din curry, medicii vor putea prescrie alimente care ac?ioneaz? la nivelul ADN-ului, pentru a promova s?n?tatea.

The interest in scientific cookery, particularly in cookery as related to health, has manifestly increased in this country within the last decade as is evidenced by the success which has attended every intelligent effort for the establishment of schools for instruction in cookery in various parts of the United States. While those in charge of these schools have presented to their pupils excellent opportunities for the acquirement of dexterity in the preparation of toothsome and tempting viands, but little attention has been paid to the science of dietetics, or what might be termed the hygiene of cookery.? A little less than ten years ago the Sanitarium at Battle Creek Mich., established an experimental kitchen and a school of cookery under the supervision of Mrs. Dr. Kellogg, since which time, researches in the various lines of cookery and dietetics have been in constant progress in the experimental kitchen, and regular sessions of the school of cookery have been held. The school has gradually gained in popularity, and the demand for instruction has become so great that classes are in session during almost the entire year.? During this time, Mrs. Kellogg has had constant oversight of the cuisine of both the Sanitarium and the Sanitarium Hospital, preparing bills of fare for the general and diet tables, and supplying constantly new methods and original recipes to meet the changing and growing demands of an institution numbering always from 500 to 700 inmates.? These large opportunities for observation, research, and experience, have gradually developed a system of cookery, the leading features of which are so entirely novel and so much in advance of the methods heretofore in use, that it may be justly styled, A New System of Cookery. It is a singular and lamentable fact, the evil consequences of which are wide-spread, that the preparation of food, although involving both chemical and physical processes, has been less advanced by the results of modern researches and discoveries in chemistry and physics, than any other department of human industry. Iron mining, glass-making, even the homely art of brick-making, and many of the operations of the farm and the dairy, have been advantageously modified by the results of the fruitful labors of modern scientific investigators. But the art of cookery is at least a century behind in the march of scientific progress. The mistress of the kitchen is still groping her way amid the uncertainties of medi?val methods, and daily bemoaning the sad results of the "rule of thumb." The chemistry of cookery is as little known to the average housewife as were the results of modern chemistry to the old alchemists; and the attempt to make wholesome, palatable, and nourishing food by the methods commonly employed, is rarely more successful than that of those misguided alchemists in transmuting lead and copper into silver and gold.? The new cookery brings order from out the confusion of mixtures and messes, often incongruence and incompatible, which surrounds the average cook, by the elucidation of the principles which govern the operations of the kitchen, with the same certainty with which the law of gravity rules the planets.? Those who have made themselves familiar with Mrs. Kellogg's system of cookery, invariably express themselves as trebly astonished: first, at the simplicity of the methods employed; secondly, at the marvelous results both as regards palatableness, wholesomeness, and attractiveness; thirdly, that it had never occurred to them "to do this way before."?This system does not consist simply of a rehash of what is found in every cook book, but of new methods, which are the result of the application of the scientific principles of chemistry and physics to the preparation of food in such a manner as to make it the most nourishing, the most digestible, and the most inviting to the eye and to the palate.?Those who have tested the results of Mrs. Kellogg's system of cookery at the Sanitarium tables.

Eu am introdus obiceiuri s?n?toase ?n via?a mea profesional? ?i particular?. La fel po?i face ?i tu!“ – Dr. Mike MorenoProgramul este structurat ?n patru cicluri de c?te 17 zile.Fiecare ciclu modific? totalul caloric al alimentelor pe care le consumi.

Kitchenella: the heroic feminine cook. The continuing story of the rise and fall of good food finds us at the end of a decade of exceptional growth and opportunity, yet once again in crisis. We believe in food icons and celebrity chefs, but their philosophies are no longer convincing, because they cannot possibly understand the predicament of the average family, living through recession and trying to do it right in the kitchen. Where are the cooks with wit, who work out the budget and plan an easy dish that efficiently feeds family and friends? Full of logical, economical and imaginative recipes that solve the modern cook's dilemma, Kitchenella will teach you the skills of those teachers who work without books, the 'mothers' and the cooks who subsequently learned from them, to decisively show you the easy way to cook and shop. Promoting a modest, simple way to cook, Kitchenella shows cooking is not about showing off and extravagance, but generosity and kindness; a subtle and intelligent way to nurture. It is cooking that is economically sustainable and achievable. It has its roots in the learned, spirited cooking of generations, food that can claim to have helped win wars and saved lives; a style of cooking that is still relevant today, by practically addressing the struggles of modern cooks, both men and women. The ambition to cook is a fantasy for many, yet Kitchenella shows how the everyday struggle to put food on the table can be transformed into cooking that is clever and beautiful.

In his outstanding new cookbook, Gordon Ramsay teams up with Mark Sargeant to showcase the best of British cooking. Packed full of sumptuous and hearty traditional recipes, Gordon Ramsay's Great British Pub Food is perfect for relaxed, homely and comforting cooking. Pubs were once a place where you could always guarantee good, simple, cheap food and a great Sunday roast, but when the steak houses and fast food chains arrived the good home cooking from the pub kitchens was replaced with tasteless, defrosted meals. Then came the gastropubs, which weren't much better, serving mediocre food at restaurant prices. That's why when Gordon Ramsay and Mark Sargeant set up the Gordon Ramsay pubs in London they wanted to produce the sort of simple but delicious British classics that warm the cockles of your heart and to serve them at affordable pub prices. Dishes like rich, hearty Chicken and Smoked Bacon Pie, mouth-watering Gloucestershire Sausages with Grainy Mustard Mash and Red Onion Marmalade and indulgent Treacle Tart - classics that have stood the test of time. Now Gordon has gathered his favourite British recipes into one sumptuous collection so you can invite your friends round, serve some good, English ale and cook the best in traditional pub food classics in your own home.
