Seasonal Recipes

From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking

Valentine's Day candies have been in the store since, oh, the day after Christmas, so I don't think I'm being too premature in thinking ahead to Valentine's Day. If you would like to indulge in some lighter sweet treats, I have a few that might tempt you.

Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

Keep things sweet and simple with some chocolate dipped strawberries. The key is to make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping them.

Mini Lemon Angel Food Cakes

Made with egg whites, these mini angel food cakes are fat-free. Serve them with perhaps a little homemade lemon icing (made from powdered sugar and lemon juice), or as a luscious-looking dessert with strawberries and a little dark-chocolate syrup drizzled over.

See More About: low fat dessert recipes angel food cake recipes low fat baking

Low Fat Panna Cotta

Converting an indulgent recipe like Panna Cotta into a low fat one obviously means making a few adjustments. Panna Cotta is usually made with cream, which accounts for its delightfully silky texture. But if you want a lighter version, this very low fat panna cotta does the trick.

Valentine Meringue Cookies

For a perfect fat-free Valentine's Day treat, try these light-as-air meringue cookies. For best results, separate the eggs while cold, making sure that not a trace of of yolk contaminates them. Leave the whites for 20 minutes or so before beating them. Make sure the whisks and bowl are clean and free from grease before use.

If you think that the first year after you're diagnosed is the worst - you are right! Research confirms that your emotions as well as your body is highly stressed during that first year, and doesn't always gracefully taper off. But there are ways to deal with this!

Breast Cancer Survivors Use Mindfulness To Lower Stress

A group of newly-diagnosed women took an 8-week course on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and scored well on stress tests. This improved their emotional and physical health! Until the study was over, and then ... read what happened.

Young Women With Breast Cancer Are Heavily Impacted By Weighty Issues

"Will I survive breast cancer?" is the question that every patient asks. But when the patient is a college student, a young mother, or a rookie career woman, she faces choices and issues that menopausal women may not have to deal with. An expert is putting together a program of services designed to support just this kind of patient.

Chemopause - I'm Too Young For Hot Flashes!

I call it "Chemopause" because many chemo drugs induce early menopause. It comes with all the symptoms of natural menopause, but it happens quickly. In younger women, chemopause may be only temporary. But then, you might get to have menopause twice! If it happens, you'll be ready.

How Does Chemotherapy Affect Fertility?

Not every oncologist mentions the possibility of chemo causing infertility. Of course, if you're menopausal - there's no issue - but if you're still having periods, you'd better make a plan. Fertility may be preserved, but make sure you know when and how to take the right steps.

From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality

At what point does a worry become a problem? If we're all worried, to greater or lesser degrees, about some aspect of our bodies or our sex lives, doesn't that just mean that worrying is part of our experience of embodiment and our experience of sex? Optimists and self-help gurus would surely answer no. Honestly most of the time I'm not sure. This week's newsletter is about what we know, what we think we know, and what we worry about, and how all of this influences our sex lives. ~ Cory

The Penis Roller Coaster

UK Edition

Dear Reader,

Have you ever wondered why – despite your best efforts at dieting and exercise – you can't lose weight... or worse, you keep gaining weight?

Well, I've got THREE pieces of very good news for you...

The first is that it's NOT your fault you can't lose weight - so stop beating yourself up over it and feeling like you've failed.

All you're missing is just one very small, but vital trigger that will turn your body back into a fat burning machine like Nature intended.

Let me explain...

Leptin is the hormone secreted by the fat cells in your body that alerts your brain about fat stores. When your fat stores are high, it signals your body to shut down your hunger and burn more calories

The problem in overweight and obese people is that their fat cells become resistant to leptin. This means that the proper signal isn't being received by the brain to stop eating and burn fat.

Instead the body releases more and more leptin into the bloodstream, which in turn means the fat cells become less and less sensitive to the leptin. It's a vicious cycle...

Therefore, your body burns LESS fat, and MORE fatty acids build up in your blood which ultimately leads to a rise in blood sugar... which is bad news for diabetics.

So, if you're overweight or diabetic, how do you normalise your leptin resistance and ensure that it doesn't lead to raised blood sugar?

Well, here's the second piece of good news...

Scientists have discovered an extraordinary new weight-loss compound that ticks all these boxes... Read the full story here.

Not only has this new compound shown significant improvements in body weight, body fat and waist circumference in clinical trials on overweight and obese people, but researchers also discovered that:

• Total cholesterol fell by 25%
• LDL cholesterol reduced by over 30%
• Fasting blood glucose dropped by 25%
• C-reactive protein (implicated in inflammation and chronic illness) improved over 50%

What's more, leptin levels in the study group dropped a massive 48.6 per cent - a sure indication that the body's optimal sensitivity to leptin was working properly again!

This all-natural, fat-busting breakthrough is now available in a powerful, new formula that will outperform any diet or synthetic weight loss pill...

Read more about what some of the thousands of delighted weight-losers are already saying about this new weight-loss sensation.

Here's to your fat-free future,

Andrew Miller
Editor
Nutrition and Healing

P.S. I almost forgot... the third piece of good news is that you can trial this amazing new weight-loss phenomenon risk-free for 30 days with my 'win-win' guarantee: "If you don't start to lose the fat you hate within this time, then you don't pay a penny!" Claim your risk-free trial here...

Linkbucks Major Update and Huge Rate Increase

2012-01-31T13:47:00.001-08:00

Hello,

We're proud to announce some exciting new features that have been launched last week.

It has taken us a little longer than expected but we have finally launched the AlertPay payment processor to withdraw funds. Before using AlertPay to withdraw funds, you must first update your preferred payment processor in your manage account page.

For advertisers, we're running a very special promotion for the month of January giving you a 50% deposit credit for using AlertPay. This is a great deal so get on it before it's too late!

Advanced reporting is finally here for publishers. If you head over to your link management page, you will notice the shiny new graph with detailed reporting information on your clicks and earnings. This information is updated in real time. But that's not all! We added detailed reporting to every single link created. You will notice a little reporting icon next to each link as well as the earnings generated for that link. Simply click on the icon to bring you to the link reporting page which provides detailed information on your traffic.

Since reporting data has only been collecting for the past few weeks, some existing links will appear to show less earnings then what they have actually earned. We recommend that you create new links to see the full earnings generated.

Major Rate Increases!

We've made an unprecedented 2x double rate increase to the following non-adult countries:

Australia
Canada
Ireland
Israel
Singapore

Rate increases are expected every month so you will be making more money than ever before.

Don't forget to drop by the forums to provide feedback and address any of your questions.

Pose of the Week - Warrior III - Virabhadrasana III

Let's talk about arm variations in warrior III. Arms extended in front has got to be the classic, as evidenced by its inclusion in Light on Yoga, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't mix it up. Arms extended backwards, as shown here, is easier on the shoulders and a little more stable. Hands on your hips helps you to level the hips, which is good for alignment since the hip on the raised leg tends to want to cock up. My personal favorite is reverse namaste, which helps me keep a nice, flat back. How to do like to do it?

Coping and Support

From Marcia Purse, your Guide to Bipolar Disorder

In her address at the 2010 conference of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, Kay Redfield Jamison said that lithium is prescribed less than it should be because it's inexpensive, and all too often drug companies are still paying kickbacks to doctors for prescribing their more expensive mood stabilizers. If she's right, it's a shame, as lithium has been shown to work well for both mania and depression. And if you or someone you care about is taking lithium, it is essential to be aware of potential problems.

Lithium Toxicity

The window between the therapeutic dose of lithium and the toxic dose is almost vanishingly small. This means it's vital to know the symptoms of lithium poisoning and to make sure you're being tested regularly. Read more...

Coping

From Daniel More, MD, your Guide to Allergies

I'm sure you heard that old superstition about when you have itchy palms, you will soon receive some money. While this superstition is most likely false, some people actually have itchy palms after handling money. It is actually possible to be allergic to money -- not the act of making it -- but from coming into contact with the physical form. People can be allergic to both coins, typically as a result of the nickel contained in certain denominations of United States and Euro coins, as well as to paper bills, as a result of the ink in printing. Certain rashes are also seen on the hands of people who count large numbers of paper bills, such as bank tellers. Find out more about the different forms of money allergy, including how to avoid and treat this type of allergy.

Allergic to Money

Could you imagine being allergic to money? It sounds like a great excuse for not being able to find a job, being in debt or maybe even the reason why you can't repay your friend the $50 you owe him. To most people, having an allergy to money seems nothing more than an excuse - and a bad one at that. Like something your teenage son would say when you asked him to mow the lawn to earn his allowance, right? But what if a person were actually allergic to money? Not the act of making money (hard work), but the physical form of money - coins or paper bills?

Nickel Allergy

Nickel allergy is the most common form of allergic contact dermatitis. People who have nickel allergy often notice a dry or blistering itchy skin rash at the site of contact with various jewelry or other metallic items. For example, nickel allergy often causes itchy rashes on the earlobes from earrings, the neckline from a necklace, the wrist from a bracelet or wristwatch, or near the umbilicus ("belly-button") from a belt buckle or jeans rivet. More recently, there have been reports of cell phones causing facial rashes as a result of nickel allergy.

Contact Dermatitis

Contact dermatitis is an itchy, blistering skin rash typically caused by the direct contact of a substance with the skin. There are 2 types of contact dermatitis: irritant and allergic. This difference is often difficult to tell apart, and is not usually an important distinction to make. Contact dermatitis results in 5.7 million doctor visits each year in the United States, and all ages are affected. Females are slightly more commonly affected than males, and teenagers and middle-aged adults seems to be the most common age groups affected.
