Healthy Recipe at the bottom of the page
I am sure you are familiar with sweeteners like caramel, molasses,
and high-fructose corn syrup but what about HFCS 42, HSH, and Jaggary. They are
sugars,imbedded in the foods we eat and I am quite sure it is main reason why I felt yucky on
day two of this 10-day detox.
All day I thought to myself, why do I feel so bad, I have
made significant dietary changes since my thyroid disease diagnosis, therefore,
I considered it to be pretty good – at least that is what I thought - until my
health coach explained to me about the many hidden sugars lurking in our food. I was never a
staunch label reader while grocery shopping, my health coach, Gretchen advised
that if I want to lose weight and keep it off, mindful shopping/eating is what
will garner success. She sent me a list of what to look for on labels. Now that
I am armed with this list (see below), I will think twice before purchasing.
For example, one of my favorite Paul Newman salad dressings
contains sugar and the sugar is pretty high on the list of ingredients. The yummy
gluten free crackers that I have purchased many times at my local “health” food
store has various types of sugars in it. Add this all up and it equals to me
not wanting to get off the couch today and the stubborn weight I have kept on
for years.
Here is the list of sugars in food – So now, when you see
HFCS 42, HSH or Jaggery, you will know this is sugar – Ya gotta know who your
enemy is ( :

Tonight’s dinner:
Turkey meatballs and tomato
sauce over zucchini squash
Turkey meatballs
I made the turkey meatballs by combining the turkey with
chopped pecans (very fine used a mallet), basil, garlic and egg. Pan fried in
olive oil.
Tomato sauce
Four vine ripened tomatoes
Half of an onion
About 2 cups of Low-sodium chicken broth
Fresh Basil and oregano
About 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
About 5 blueberries
About 5 raspberries
About 10 small walnut pieces
Cooked all in a pot for about 1 ½ hours on low then mixed in the food processor.
Returned ingredients to pot and cooked for about another 30 minutes.
Zucchini
Peeled zucchini. Put the zucchini in the veggetti. Put the
spiraled zucchini in a small amount of boiling low-sodium chicken broth for a
few minutes, then pour zucchini in strainer.
This is a yummy dish
