Gazpacho
Servings: 6
• 6 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
• 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1 medium red onion, minced
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley to taste

Peel the tomatoes by submerging them in boiling water for 15 seconds. Remove to a colander and rinse under cold water. The skins will slip right off.
Core the tomatoes and gently squeeze out the seeds. Chop half of them coarsely and puree the other half in a food processor. Combine the puree and shopped tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Blend the remaining ingredients, except the herb croutons, with the tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving. Serve chilled, garnished with herb croutons.

Answer 2

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMlzI

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 3

A slice of whole wheat bread is 90 calores, vegetables are mostly 30 calories or less for a half cup:steamed broccoli, sqaush, mushrooms.
A rice cake (Hains) is 50 calories.
Low fat or regular sour cream is between 40 and 60 caloires for 2 tablespoons,
Natural ground peanut butter or almond butter is 100 calories for 2 tablespoons.
Main course:
Lentil and beans are usually between 70 and 110 caloires for a 1/2 c serving.
Non fat yogurt is 110 calories for 1 cup.
salads are very low in calorie because lettuce is 15 calories for a cup and tomates are between 20 and 40 caloires depending on size.
A GOOD RULE OF THUMB: FAT AND SUGAR ARE THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTERS TO HIGH CALOIRE FOODS.
A serving of fat is one teaspoon of oil or butter at 130 calories and a teaspoon of sugar is 45 caloires.
