Since living in the UK I have been fortunate to visit some really great Indian Restaurants and there is also an abundance of Indian grocery stores to buy a wide range of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice" title="Spice" rel="wikipedia">spices</a> and other ingredients.</p> <p>What I found out is that a lot of Indian food is cooked in Ghee (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarified_butter" title="Clarified butter" rel="wikipedia">clarified butter</a>) which can make it fattening so you have to be careful but if you portion sizes down it can still be a delicious meal.</p> <div class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; display: block;"> <div> <dl style="width: 310px;" class="wp-caption alignright"> <dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tandoorimumbai.jpg"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Tandoorimumbai.jpg/300px-Tandoorimumbai.jpg" alt="Tandoori Chicken, Mumbai" title="Tandoori Chicken, Mumbai" height="225" width="300"/></a></dt> <dd class="wp-caption-dd zemanta-img-attribution" style="font-size: 0.8em;">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tandoorimumbai.jpg">Wikipedia</a></dd> </dl> </div> </div> <p>One really healthy way of cooking is using a special sort of oven known as a Tandoor which cooks at really high temperatures but I came across this article and thought you probably learn more from an expert…</p> <p>With an increase in obesity, a healthy and enjoyable alternative is certainly needed to the abundance of fried foods, sweets and sugary sodas that have left us with expanding waist lines and rolls of excess fat round our bellies. </p> <p>What is needed in our diets are foods that are delicious and filling, yet low in calories and good for our metabolism and fat burning. Nothing fit the bill better than tandoori chicken.</p> <p>Tandoori chicken is cooked at high temperatures in a tandoor oven. Tandoor ovens are made of clay and can cook with extreme heats up to 900 degrees F. </p> <p>The tandoor oven produces a very unique and special flavor, which is attributed to the juices of the chicken dropping down on the hot coals. This creates a delicious flavored smoke that will make your taste buds tingle. </p> <p>Tandoori food is often considered the culinary pride of the people of India and the reasons for this are obvious. It is truly delicious!</p> <p>You can prepare tandoori chicken for a dinner party or just a snack. Tandoori chicken is fat burning food that will get your metabolism working in high gear.</p> <p> It is a truly delectable food you can incorporate into any diet or weight loss program, and once you start losing weight while enjoying this amazing food you might just get addicted! </p> <p>It is a good feeling to enjoy spicy and succulent food with the added reassurance in knowing you will be able to keep in shape and not pile on the pounds that are associated with many other types of cooking.</p> <p>Every traditional tandoori chicken dish is marinated in a special spicy yogurt. In a large bowl, add 1 cup of yogurt and your tandoori chicken spice. To make traditional tandoori chicken, you want to season your yogurt marinade with tandoori masala spices. </p> <p>The spices will make the food hot and spicy, and in the United States a milder less spicy marinade is often used.</p> <p>Next you will want to clean your chicken pieces by washing them off. Use a fork and punch holes into the chicken pieces. This will make the chicken more tender and allow the marinade to absorb into the chicken pieces. </p> <p>Place your pieces of chicken in a large plastic bag, and pour in your marinade. It is definitely best to let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator overnight, but if you don’t have that opportunity 4 or 5 hours should be enough time to let the chicken absorb the delicious marinade. </p> <p><strong>Make sure the chicken is sealed air tight in the refrigerator.</strong></p> <p>It would be a good idea to make several portions of tandoori chicken so you have so there is some left over which you can make more delicious food out of. </p> <p>There are so many possibilities for healthy and hearty snacks like tandoori chicken soup, sandwiches with whole grain bread and veggies, or you could simply serve the spicy and succulent chicken over whole grain rice. These healthy and filling snacks can be the cornerstone of your weight loss program and I bet you’ll love it!</p> <p>When cooking tandoori chicken it is best to use a clay tandoor oven.

This is not my crusade against TV controls but is about how sedentary (staying seated) we have all become and how it could be making us seriously ill.</p> <div class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; display: block;"> <div> <dl style="width: 310px;" class="wp-caption alignright"> <dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Piledvariousremotes.JPG"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Piledvariousremotes.JPG/300px-Piledvariousremotes.JPG" alt="A series of remotes piled on top and alongside..." title="A series of remotes piled on top and alongside..." height="286" width="300"/></a></dt> <dd class="wp-caption-dd zemanta-img-attribution" style="font-size: 0.8em;">Image via <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Piledvariousremotes.JPG">Wikipedia</a></dd> </dl> </div> </div> <p>Now let me explain years ago (well probably about 25 or so to more correct) we didn’t use to have remote controls for everything we had to do something which today is seen as really radical we had to get of our butts and change the TV channel.</p> <p>Now if you are under 30 or so that’s pretty much an alien concept but it actually was just part of the exercise (and movement) we used to have in our daily routines.But now the majority of people work on their backside and when they get home they do much the same thing.</p> <p>But what happens is our bodies weren’t built to be coach potato’s so they have started to fight back. Well that’s what an article in the British Journal Of Sports Medicine has been saying.</p> <p>It seems that those who literally spend all day sat down are at far greater risk of certain disease than those that involve some movement in their daily routine (see hence my comment about TV remote’s).</p> <p>Prolonged sitting promotes a lack of whole-body muscle movement, which the Swedish-based research team say is the more suitable way to define sedentary behavior. </p> <p>Many people I have to confess including myself mistakenly believe the term “sedentary” refers to people who do not exercise.</p> <p>But the research team suggests in their latest report that sedentary behavior is instead a distinct class of behaviors, unrelated to a lack of exercise, that boost bad health. </p> <p>Now I found that quite a suprise but it sort of makes sense when you think about it. The behaviors can include habits like TV watching.</p> <p>For example, recent evidence has shown that sitting in front of the TV for hours on end can raise your risk of early death from heart disease.</p> <p>A woman’s risk of metabolic syndrome, a precursor to diabetes and heart disease, jumps 26% for every extra hour she sits in front of the TV, according to one cited study. </p> <p>Whole-body muscular inactivity associated with prolonged sitting has also been strongly linked to obesity and even certain types of cancer.</p> <p>Although the cause-effect relationship between prolonged sitting and bad health needs to be more clearly established, researchers say it appears that muscle movement and contractions may play a role in controlling important blood fats.</p> <p>The editorialists warn that the health of people who are glued to the TV or tied to a desk for extended periods is especially at risk if they forgo exercise altogether.</p> <p>They encourage health care practitioners to emphasize the importance of simple, non-exercise activities, and how such simple movements may ward off bad health.</p> <p> “Climbing the stairs, rather than using elevators and escalators, five minutes of break during sedentary work, or walking to the store rather than taking the car will be as important as exercise,” the team says in a news release.</p> <p>On top of that they will also help you keep in better shape overall so I say lets try and start to move more and eat less a great combination I think you’d agree?</p> <div style="margin-top: 10px;

So maybe it means at the start of your day (well lets assume that for now at least).</p> <p>Now if you like eating big meals (chances are you do or you wouldn’t be trying to lose weight) the fully illustrated monster breakfasts are a dream come to true. That’s right stuff a masive 600 calories for breakfast and within weeks you’ll be losing pounds like crazy according to expert Dr Jakubowicz.</p> <p>Now I am not an endocrinoligist but even in my slightly less qualified opinion this seems rather unlikely but never one to criticise without good reason lets continue even if slightly shell shocked at this news!</p> <p>The claims for this diet now becoming popular in the US ( i can’t think why?) are …</p> <p><em>It will boost up your metabolism<br /> Help you burn more calories by day and more fat at night<br /> Satisfy your hunger all day<br /> Crush those diet-derailing cravings for sweets<br /> Give you energy to burn<br /> Allow you to feel alert and refreshed, rather than sluggish and foggy, when you wake up<br /> Reduce your risk for serious health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease<br /> Reduce migraines</em></p> <p><strong>Really!</strong></p> <p>The science involves 94 women who were overweight of which half were put on this diet and the other half not.</p> <p>With colleagues from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.5481,-77.4533&spn=0.01,0.01&q=37.5481,-77.4533%20%28Virginia%20Commonwealth%20University%29&t=h" title="Virginia Commonwealth University" rel="geolocation">Virginia Commonwealth University</a>, Jakubowicz assigned 94 obese, physically inactive women, on average in their 30s, to two groups:</p> <p> * The low-carb diet group of 46 women was instructed to eat a small breakfast totaling about 290 calories that was low in carbohydrates and typically didn’t include bread. A sample breakfast might have included a cup of milk, one egg, three slices of bacon, and two teaspoons of butter. When they visited the study center, these women ate breakfast there and their food was monitored. They ate an average of 1,085 calories a day.</p> <p> * The big-breakfast group of 48 women was told to eat a breakfast of about 610 calories. A sample breakfast: a cup of milk, turkey, cheese, two slices of bread, mayonnaise, 1 ounce of chocolate candy, and a protein shake. They could eat the breakfast in stages from the time they got up until 9 a.m. This group averaged 1,240 calories a day.</p> <p>After four-months, the dieters eating the modest breakfast dropped about 28 pounds, while those on the big breakfast plan lost 23 pounds.</p> <p>Not that significant I hear you cry hardly worth the effort.</p> <p>The real differences seemed to come to a head at the eight-month mark, when the low-carb dieters had regained an average of 18 pounds and the big-breakfast eaters continued to lose, dropping another 16.5 pounds on average.</p> <p>In all, members of the big-breakfast group lost more than 21% of their body weight; low-carb group members lost 4.5%.</p> <p>Now this means that a total of less than 50 people found some benefit from a diet millions now are convinced that this will help them lose weight.Which of course could be true but the thing is I have not yet come across anyone who has been able to stick to a calorie restricted diet for 8 months most struggle with 8 weeks.</p> <p>Where are the FDA when you need them?</p> <p>The fact that so called scientific research is backed by a doctor (seemingly making it fact) makes it all the more worrying so I thought I would try and find more out about Dr Jubkowicz and here is what one doctor<a href="http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/lipid-hypothesis/big-breakfast-bunkum/"> Dr Micheal Eades MD</a> had to say on his blog. </p> <p>Now I am not saying the book is wrong as I don’t have the MD or qualifications in endocrinology (some days I wonder how I choose a Chemistry degree I never actually used thanks to my Careers adviser), </p> <p>But what is significant certainly amongst the medical world is this study has never been published in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_journal" title="Medical journal" rel="wikipedia">medical journals</a> of serious repute as far as I could tell and the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control" title="Scientific control" rel="wikipedia">control group</a> do seem to have been some what manipulated to get the desired results to prove a point.</p> <p>One thing I learned during my science studies years back was that is you can “help” scientific research work to give you the results you want to prove but when put under closer scrutiny it usually falls down.</p> <p>Have they fixed the results I don’t know but you have to ask why a doctor is more interested in a best selling diet book and not a paper published is a reputable medical journal. </p> <p>Any way that’s my honest review of the book would I recommend buying it no but would it work as a means of weight loss well once again I have to say “buyer beware”.</p> <p><strong>More Thoughts On The Big Breakfast Diet.</strong></p> <p><a href="http://after-cancer.com/food-and-diets/chocoholics-have-an-excuse-to-eat-it-for-breakfast/">Chocoholics have an excuse to eat it for breakfast!</a> (after-cancer.com)</p> <p><a href="http://babyboomeradvisorclub.com/2009/01/15/the-breakfast-diet-the-diet-to-start-your-day-with-and-keep-extra-pounds-off/">The Breakfast Diet-The Diet To Start Your Day With and Keep Extra …</a> <p>The Breakfast Diet-The Diet To Start Your Day With Everyday.

I think more needs to be done to speed up the time it takes for people to receive essential surgery.</p> <p> Often the cost of care and other factors such as loss of income for people who can’t get about exceeds the cost of the surgery over the longer term. </p> <p>In the UK where I am living now medical insurers are starting to recognise that getting the patient back to work or at very least mobile over time is far more cost effective and hopefully eventually this will become the view of HMO’s and state funded health care schemes.</p> <h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em;">Related articles by other authors</h6> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/enter/medlineplus/rss?%2520MedlinePlus%2520Health%2520News&url=http%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Enlm%252Enih%252Egov%252Fmedlineplus%252Fnews%252Ffullstory%255F94664%252Ehtml">Injections May Boost Knee Surgery Success</a> (nlm.nih.gov)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_92610.html">Blood Clot Threat After Surgery Worse Than Thought</a> (nlm.nih.gov)</li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/healthserviceindiaa/medical-tourism-and-knee-replacement-in-india-at-an-economical-budget">Medical tourism and Knee replacement in India at an economical budget</a> (slideshare.net)</li> </ul> <div style="margin-top: 10px;
