Diabetic Wheat 'n' Fruit Cookies - Sugar Free
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1 Egg
2 tsp Vanilla extract
1 cup Whole wheat flour
1 tsp Baking powder
1/8 tsp Salt
1 cup Unsweetened coconut, flaked
1 cup Unsugared dates, chopped
4 tsp Orange peel, fresh grated
1 cup Pecans, finely ground
Cream the butter, egg and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. In
a small bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt.
Add the flour mixture a little at a time, to the creamed mixture,
beating after each addition. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut,
dates, orange peel, and 1/2 cup of the pecans. Stir into the cookie
mixture. Divide the dough in half and form into two logs,
approximately 1.1/2 inches in diameter. Place the remaining 1/2 cup
of pecans on a piece of waxed paper. Roll the logs in the nuts. Wrap
each log in waxed paper and chill for 1 hour. To bake, slice the logs
into 1/8 inch rounds and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned.
Makes 5 dozen.

Advice on losing weight
If you wish to become thin and boost your general well-being, then, as any doctor will tell you, you should start a carefully calculated balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to involve 5 measures of grains and vegetables per day and also take in the correct combination of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
In deciding on a diet, the most important step is to try to moderate your consumption of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
When buying food, dieters ordinarily focus on supermarket and branded foods claiming to be 'low-fat'. This is most certainly an error, given that an item may be significantly reduced in fat content, but also elavated in carbs & calories.
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. At times in the course of a normal morning, you fancy you need a snack but actually you may want a healthy tumbler of water or orange juice. The sensations of being thirsty and hungry are somewhat similar, albeit one of them results in weight gain and the other one does not.
Instead of thinking about those junk foods that you really should leave out of your dietary regime, direct your attention to the sensible foods which you can introduce to your weight loss program. If you bring in a few nutritious fruit & vegetables into your diet, you will be delighted to find that you feel full and have a much decreased likelihood of being seduced by those unhealthy afternoon potato chips.
