Guiltless Brownies
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine cocoa, oil and bananas in a food processor or blender. Puree until
smooth. Combine sugar, eggs, flour and banana mixture in a mixing bowl.
Beat until blended, then stir in the nuts.
Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 9 x 13 inch baking pan and bake for
15-20 minutes or until done. Toothpick inserted into center should come
out clean. (My suggestion - line baking pan with waxed paper and spray
with non-stick vegetable spray.) Cut into 2 1/4 inch squares when cool.

Diet tips
If you wish to lose weight and improve your overall physical condition, then you need to commence a carefully prepared well-balanced dietary regime. In theory, this should take in 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables each day and also involve the optimum combination of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
When planning a meal plan, you have to also try to reduce intake of salt, fats and refined carbohydrate.
People starting a weight loss program ordinarily focus on department store and brand name products known as 'low-fat'. This is usually a mistake, since a food could be reduced in fat content, but also contain excess carbohydrates and calories.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Your body must have water , it is critical for our good health and has no fat. Water additionally fills the dieters tummy and decreases sensations of emptiness. A few nutritionalists assert that we should try to drink as much as 6 glasses of water each day.
As an alternative to focusing on the many food types that you need to eliminate from your daily routine, focus on the "good" foods that you can add to your diet. If you can bring in the recommended portions healthy grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you will be amazed to find that you feel more satisfied and have a much decreased chance of being tempted by those unhealthy midday sweets and chocolates.
