Substitute Yourself Skinny By Chef Susan Irby,The Bikini Chef
Los Angeles, CA (Vocus) July 28, 2010
For most of us trying to eat right and lose weight can feel like a never ending battle. There are so many diet plans out there and so many promises how can we be sure we have picked the right one? And how can we be motivated to stay on a diet when they all focus on what we cant eat?
What if you could eat all the foods you love and still lose weight? Enter Substitute Yourself Skinny by Chef Susan Irby, known to her fans as The Bikini Chef, the ultimate healthy cookbook that actually allows us to eat the foods we love with simple, calorie-slashing ingredient swaps.
Substitute Yourself Skinny proves its possible to cut fat and calories and still eat satisfying and delicious foods.

With tips on how to swap one ingredient for another, anyone wanting to eat healthier can turn favorite foods into appetizing low-calorie creations.
For my whole life I have strived to find a balance between staying slim and healthy and enjoying the fattening foods I love. People think that because I am The Bikini Chef being thin comes easy for me. It doesnt, says Chef Susan. A few years ago I was stress eating and not exercising. I gained more weight than I ever have. So I made the commitment to get back on track. It wasnt easy and it didnt come quickly but I stayed with it and learned I could still eat my favorite foods but just make them skinny.
Mention the word substitution in relation to a recipe and we tend to get a little nervous - - afraid that food will taste funny or have an odd texture to it. Low-calorie and fat-free ingredients are easier than ever to find, come in a variety of brands, and are high in quality and flavor, making it easy and delicious to create low calorie and low fat meals. Susan gives home cooks the skinny on ingredient substitutions in the chapter, The Skinny on Substitutions.

Fat Burning Detox Program
If you're like me then dinner will probably be your main meal of the day. So for this reason it needs to be satisfying and nutritious. Being on a low carbohydrates diet doesn't mean that your dinner needs to be any different and we can incorporate many belly fat burning foods.
Once you've got to grips with the foods that you can and cannot eat on a low carb diet, you will see that most main meals can be adapted in some way to be made low carb. If you are going to stick to any diet it is important that you enjoy the food you eat and have plenty of variety to stop becoming bored. Here I have made some dinner suggestions to do just that.
When embarking on a low carb diet it is well worth stocking up on a few staple foods first, so that you are never without the right foods. This includes flavorings such as herbs and spices, olive oil, eggs, no-sugar added oil and vinegar dressing and cheeses. A good selection of low carb vegetables in the freezer such as spinach, green beans and diced onion will ensure you always have an accompaniment for your dinner dish.
Depending on the type of diet you are on, some diets allow wholemeal bread, brown rice, wholemeal pita bread and whole meal tortillas. These ingredients can be very useful to add to your meal. These are what are known as complex carbs or good carbs as opposed to simple carbohydrates, which are the bad carbs.
Some low carb diets promote high protein, low carb foods, while others talk about low fat, low carb foods. Whichever type of diet you are following the main bulk of your foods will come from, meat, fish, shell fish, non-starchy vegetables, salad vegetables and some dairy foods. It is surprising just how little you will not be allowed on a low carb diet. If opting for a low fat, low carb diet, then low fat cheeses and very lean meat should be chosen instead of their full fat options.
If wanting a starter with your low carb dinner, making a salad of tomatoes and mozzarella cheese makes a light and tasty starter. If you're having a dinner party this can be made to look very impressive by making a tomato and mozzarella tower. Simply place some salad leaves on a plate and alternate slices of tomato drizzled with olive oil with slices of mozzarella. Add some basil leaves for extra flavor.
Another great starter for your diet is soup. Most ready prepared soups are not low carb, but making your own is very simple. A good base for homemade soup is chicken stock made from your left over chicken bones. Place in a pan and cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer for at least 30 minutes, longer if you have time. You can then add to this any combination of low carb vegetables as you like. Mushrooms, peppers and onions make a very satisfying soup.
For the main course of your dinner, meat will probably become the main staple of your diet. If you look at your favorite dishes you will see that many of them can be adapted to suit your diet.
For instance the Sunday roast. You would probably include in your roast dinner, roast meat, potatoes, carrots, green vegetables, cauliflower cheese etc. When cooking a low carb version, the only ingredients you would leave out are the potatoes and the cheese sauce. By adding extra green vegetables and grating some strong cheddar cheese on the cauliflower before grilling it, your meal is much the same as everyone else's.
Many people assume that being on a low carb diet means no dessert. It can be difficult as ingredients such as sugar and chocolate are off the list. But yet again many recipes can be adjusted to replace sugar with a sweetener or no sugar alternatives. Sugar free jelly is a good stand-by when you fancy something sweet. Low carb cheesecake is a very substantial dinner dessert. But if you want something quick and simple to make, here is 2 deliciously sweet desserts that I have tried.
Strawberry Pecan Whip:
Ingredients:
125g sugar free, low calorie strawberry jelly 225ml boiling water 225ml cold water 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 2 tablespoons pecan pieces, toasted 50ml semi-skimmed ricotta cheese
Method:
Dissolve the jelly in the boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Add the cold water and place in the refrigerator until partially set. Stir the pecans and vanilla essence into the ricotta cheese. Using a whisk add to the jelly and whip until mixed. Divide between 4 bowls and refrigerate once more to set before serving.
Apricot Almond Custard
Ingredients:
6 dried apricots 125ml skimmed milk 2g sweetener 1/4 teaspoon almond essence 1 egg 1 tablespoon flaked almonds
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180C /350F. Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and add the apricots. Boil for 3-4 minutes to re-hydrate them, drain and roughly chop. Place the apricots, milk, sweetener, almond essence and egg in a small bowl and mix together. Divide between 2 ovenproof dishes or ramekins. Sprinkle with the almonds and bake for 30 minutes or until the custard is firm.
Being on a low carb diet is particularly useful if you have to cook for the family and do not want to cook separate meals. By adapting and adjusting some of the ingredients, you can eat many of the same things as the rest of the family. It is important however that you do your research and know your low carb foods. If buying packaged foods read the labels first to check the carbohydrate content. Some foods contain surprisingly high carbohydrate levels. Getting a carbohydrates list can be useful, either from a diet book or online.

for diet-
Los Angeles, CA April 17, 2003 FACT Corporation (PRWEB) April 18, 2003
of Freehold, New Jersey and Western Bagel Baking Corporation of Van Nuys, California say the response to the launch of the reduced digestible carbohydrate, low calorie Alternative Bagelconscious consumers has exceeded expectations to date.
Western Bagel began using our unique, Healthy Lifestyle premix in two bagel products at its thirteen company-owned stores in Southern California, as well as through giant food retailer, Albertsons, only a few months ago, and initial responses indicate that the products are already a huge success, said Jacqueline Danforth, President of FACT. FACTs premixes are the core for a variety of functional products that fit almost any diet regimen, even such popular weight-loss programs as Weight Watchers, Dr. Atkins, Sugar Busters, Jenny Craig and The Zone.
Suitable for foods such as breads, bagels and pastas as well as a variety of sweet baked goods, the FACT line of premixes are a boon for dieters who no longer want to be one of the more than 140 million adults in the United States estimated to be overweight.
Western Bagels Marketing Director, Corie Ustin, said the low-carb bagels, known as the Alternative Bagel, meet the requirements of health-conscious dieters without sacrificing taste and texture.
Ms. Ustin added that the overwhelming response to date has prompted Western Bagel to expand its distribution to 300+ Albertsons stores in Southern California, as well as to Food4Less and Ralphs, both owned by The Kroger Company, one of the largest food retail companies in the United States, and to Gelsons supermarkets, bringing the total number of stores expected to carry the Alternative Bagel to well over 750. There are also plans for expansion of the Alternative Bagel line to introduce a wider variety of flavors, including Cinnamon Spice and Sweet Wheat, as well as the impending introduction of the product line to Publix, the employee-owned Florida supermarket chain.
Rolf Richter, COO of FACT commented, Its wonderful to see timely success for early adapters such as our first customer, Western Bagel, with the launch of this line of health conscious, functional bagels. We intend to see replication of this phenomenon over several different product categories over the course of the year.
FACT Corporation is positioning itself to become a leading producer of Healthy Lifestyle brand premix for functional products that deliver specific health benefits to consumers. Formed in 1947, Western Bagel Baking Corporation is one of the worlds largest bagel producers with national and international distribution under the Western Bagel and other brand names.

Benefits of a Low Carb Diabetes Diet
Diabetes is a disease in which the patient experiences gradual increase in the blood sugar level. There are a variety of reasons which causes this disease such as, being over weight, wrong eating habits, irregular sleep, unlimited consumption of junk food and no resistance to chocolates, sweets and other such food item containing sugar in high doses. With these food items in your diet chart the dream of combating diabetes will only remain a dream.
A diabetic person needs to take care of their eating habits and settle for a sugar free, low carb, low calorie diet. A low carb diabetes diet basically consists of protein rich foods such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk and milk products like cheese, yogurt etc. Besides these vegetables such as carrots, avocado, spinach and other green vegetables are extremely essential. Food grains like kidney beans are also recommended.
The basic merits of a low carb diabetes diet can be mentioned under the following points:
A low carb diet substitutes carbohydrates with a preferably higher intake of fat. This fat burns to provide the patient with a comparatively higher amount of energy.
A meal low in carbs normally contains protein, fat, and lesser active carbohydrates which breaks down very slowly and gradually. Thus a person adapting to this diet feels that his stomach is full for a longer period of time.
A person settling for low carb diet can take in a higher dose of calorie without putting on unnecessary weight.
The most important benefit of a low carb diet is that it releases nutrients in the blood without causing a rise in the sugar level of the blood.
Below are three very quick and easy to prepare recipes for a sugar free, low carb diabetes diet.
Pineapple Yogurt
Ingredients- low fat yogurt, pineapple crushed into small pieces, splenda. Preparation- mix all the above mentioned ingredients together and blend them uniformly. Add salt to taste, and your yummy pineapple yogurt is ready.
Bacon And Broccoli Salad
Ingredients- cooked bacon slices, broccoli, onion, raisins, milk, vinegar and sun flower seeds. Preparation- Putt all the vegetables in a bowl, add vinegar, raisins and salt to taste and mix well. Garnish with milk and sun flower seeds. It is an excellent choice to maintain your blood sugar level.
Corn Bread
Ingredients- Double toned milk, canned corn, flour, baking soda, eggs. Preparation- Mix all the above ingredients in a dish and pour it in a heated frying pan to heat. After heating it slightly put it in a baking dish and bake at medium temperature. Serve hot.
Show your culinary skills by making use of these low carb diabetes diet recipes and guiding your family towards a diabetes free life.

Low Carb Foods: Dieting Boon or Rip-off
Questioning the Wisdom of Low Carb Modified Foods
If you are following a low carb diet and you think eating "low carb" versions of things like pancakes and bread is smart, think again. You'll gain weight as soon as you add real carbs (water weight mostly), any carbs, and you will be paying high prices for unhealthy food in the bargain. Instead eat whole foods such as whole baked potatoes, fresh carrots, salads, vegetable soups, bean dishes. Eat the real thing!
Stay away from the modified versions whether low fat, low carb, or low anything. Low carb means added artificial sweeteners and who knows what to stretch the fiber, low fat usually means added sugar, low calorie is usually crappy tasting. Why pay extra for this trickery?
If you want to lose weight and keep that weight off a few things must happen. Your diet must include healthier foods in greater quantity than unhealthy foods. I'm not talking "good" or "bad" foods. Any food is fine, in moderation. The trick is moderation. I love cake but I don't eat it every day. I love all kinds of sweets but I don't over indulge every day. If I did I'd gain weight, and it really is that simple. I choose to stay in shape by eating the goodies when I want, but my desire is infrequent because I want even more to maintain my size.
What does eating pancakes do for me? It makes me want syrup, and maybe something sweet later that day. It sets me up for craving sugary sweet foods. That may not be what I really want, especially if I'm trying to lose a few pounds.
What about bread? Wouldn't I be better off eating the low carb bread? No. Choose a healthy, whole grain bread. The low carb brands are not whole grain, they are white flour, with added corn starch and artificial sweeteners. They reduce the size of the loaf, and slice the pieces teeny tiny then claim, "Only 4 Net Carbs per Slice" or something equally ridiculous. Check the loaf. Is a sandwich made with teensy sized pieces of bread going to satisfy you or is it going to make you want another sandwich? Eat the real thing, and you'll feel satisfied from having eaten an adult sized sandwich, and you won't feel deprived or crave for more.
