|
Dr. Steven A. Schnur's new book, The Reality Diet, has recipes the entire family will enjoy--including the kids. Packed with yummy desserts (non-sugar), high-energy breakfasts, and easy-to-fix dinners, we know you'll enjoy them all, including this one. The joy of dessert is alive and well this evening. The crêpes are sweet and decadent, but the fruit and whole-wheat flour make them healthful. 1/3 cup non-fat dry milk powder 3 1/2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour 1 teaspoon sugar substitute 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon canola oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract Nonstick cooking spray 1/2 banana, sliced 2 pitted dates, chopped 4 toasted pecan halves, chopped 1 teaspoon semisweet chocolate mini-morsels In a small bowl, combine the dry milk, flour, sugar substitute, cinnamon, and baking powder. Whisk in the water, oil, vanilla, and coconut extract until the batter is smooth. A few lumps in the batter are okay. Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour in half of the batter. Lift and tilt the skillet to spread the batter across the bottom. Return the skillet to the heat and cook for 30 seconds. Carefully turn over the crêpe with a spatula, and cook the second side for another 30 seconds. Slide the cooked crêpe onto a plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. Arrange half of the banana slices, dates, pecans, and chocolate morsels across the lower third of each crêpe. Lift the bottom edge of each crêpe and roll it up to serve.

For one thing, you lose muscle and water, but little fat, and may seriously jeopardize your health in the process. For another, restricting certain foods and food groups deprives your body of essential nutrients. In the end, the faster the pounds come off, the faster they pile back on. After seeing many of his patients fail on these kinds of fad diets, and suffer health-threatening side effects, Dr. Steven A. Schnur, founder of the largest cardiology practice in South Florida, developed a new, breakthrough program. The Reality Diet is not low carb, low fat, or high protein. Instead it is rich in a wide variety of foods that are high in one key fat-fighting ingredientâ€"fiber. Not only does fiber stop hunger, it also significantly lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other illnesses. Flexible and forgiving, The Reality Diet is for real people living in the real world. With eight weeks of mouthwatering menus, more than 200 quick and easy recipes, tips for eating in restaurants and navigating holidays, as well as an effective exercise program, The Reality Diet is both a comprehensive weight-loss plan and a blueprint for lifelong health.
