Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat Book

Ori Hofmekler's book Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat is the topic of today. But mostly, I want to share what my experiences are with Diet Books

Health Diet and Fitness books are showing up all over the place - all the time - seems almost each week there is another new book or eBook to look at. If you're anything like me - you have collections and collections of books and eBooks from over the years.

Being such an over-weight child, I have been watching what I eat since the age of 14 - this is why I find it interesting to read weight-loss-management- fitness etc. books I really like like Fit For Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, which I was told about in the late 80's by a fellow student at the Business College which I was attending at the time. I followed the principals laid out in this book to a "T" for approximately 10 years or more, thus finding I was a healthier and much happier person than I'd ever been. The Warrior Diet by Ori Hofmekler, Also quite the similar to Fit For Life as principals of timing of what and when you eat. I do believe this is the key to weight loss and weight maintenance.
Ori's Maximum Muscle Minimum Fat, I wouldn't think, would be anything less than great -
In a world of health problems increasing in many nations, Ori Hofmekler's "Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat"gets into the nitty gritty of the biological concepts that aids muscle gain and fat loss. This book to me seems to be written for a broad group of people who are aware and concerned with their health and weight issues - dieters, bodybuilders, health and fitness coaches, will, find this book builds on and beyond the perceptions in his book "The Warrior Diet."

The author and weight-loss expert - Hofmekler - in easy to understand terms - explains the under-eating and fasting effects to trigger the anabolic switch that stimulates growth and rejuvenation of the cells. Also how to manipulate the hormones for rapid muscle gain and faster fat breakdown. Ori offers strategies to tale the advantage of hunger to stimulate muscle growth while you burn fat.

Coffee For Lactose Intolerant - Skinny Latte & Soy Latte

Post as at Take The Plunge Coffee Blog - Written by Urzay G
As the knowledge that soy and low fat products are of importance for some with health issues - in many Australians as well as the Americans, and the English, prompts me to write this quick, short post on skinny latte & soy latte - along with it being suggested by a social media buddy too.

Some of us have problems with lactose intolerance, others just don't like the taste of milk, some people have allergies to dairy - yet we love our coffee so rich and creamy like lattes and cappuccinos - so what can we do about this - well a friend suggested that I write a  post on soy latte - I personally do not like soy milk or soy products although I do like to go vegetarian most of the time - anyway back to the post - well I have my lattes and cappuccinos with skim milk.

The only problem with using soy rather than dairy, whether - whole milk, skim or low fat - is that soy does not get quite foamy enough as the dairy milks do - I read this on another blog post here at Jolinda's Vegetarian Food Blog - Also quoted on Jolinda's blog is that "the secret to getting a nice foamy soy latte is getting the soy milk extra hot before steaming it. Or, apparently, using a specially formulated soy milk!

Out there, there are many products on the market to suggest we can make the perfect soy latte at home just by doing a little internet surfing. As soy latte is becoming more and more popular with the general public, it would be highly unlikely that a soy milk manufacturing company would not jump at the idea of perfecting a soy milk that will froth up to the max - for our favourite coffee beverage - it would be a mistake for those involved in soy manufacture to dismiss the fact that serious soy lovers (or ones who need to consume soy) want that soy latte or soy cappuccino (I don't even know if soy cappuccino has been invented yet, as I was saying I don't particularly like soy).

From my short experience as a Take-Away shop attendant many years ago - I found that skim milk froths well - as long as you follow the rules of temperature - can't remember - was so long ago - any way there are also different brands of skim - low-fat - no-fat milks - that are specifically designed for skinny lattes and skinny cappuccinos. One of my colleagues told me, they use crema milk at a favourite Maryborough QLD Espresso bar - (website in the process of being built at this time - will add link when their site is up and running) This is a creamy minimal fat content milk and add substance to their beverages they serve.

Butternut Pumpkin and Potato Soup

Today while I was looking for something different to eat for lunch, I remembered that I had a butternut pumpkin in the fridge - hmmmm, I thought, even though the weather is really hot out there, I felt like pumpkin soup. So I started to boil up the pumpkin when I then remembered that I had a potato and some shallots in there as well. so this is what I came up with this recipe for -
Butternut Pumpkin and Potato Soup

Ingredients:
1/2 large Butternut Pumpkin (Squash)
2 Large Potatoes
1 Bunch of Shallots (AKA eshallots or spring onions)
2 Beef Stock Cubes (Vegans use vegetable stock cubes)
Cold water (just enough to cover the pumpkin at first)
Salt & Pepper to season
Boiled water (to just cover potato after they've been added)

Directions:
1.Peel and chop Pumpkin into about 1" cubes.
2. Put into a large saucepan, just cover pumpkin with cold water.
3. Bring to boil over medium to high heat
4. While the pumpkin is coming to the boil, peel and chop potatoes to about the same size.
5. Add to pot with pumpkin.
6. Wash shallots and chop into small pieces, add to the pot along with stock cubes and add boiling water to just cover all ingredients.
7. When the potato is tender, drain, (set aside the stock) - return to veges to the pot.
8. With a hand blender, mash up veges until smooth, gradually adding the stock back in to desired consistency.
9. Serve with garlic bread or toast
Makes 4 large serves
