Basic Biscotti
4 oz Blanched almonds
2 1/2 cup Flour
2 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Baking soda
3 Eggs


PREHEAT OVEN TO 350F. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and toast them
in oven until lightly golden. Let cool. Coarsely chop half the nuts.
Butter 2 large baking sheets. Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking soda.
Beat in eggs, then whole and chopped nuts. Mix to obtain a firm
dough. Knead briefly, then divide dough into 4 pieces. On a floured
work surface, roll each piece under your hands into a cylinder 15
inches long and about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place 2 rolls, well
separated, on each baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until very
lightly browned and firm to the touch. With a spatula, carefully
transfer the rolls to a cutting board and slice each one diagonally
into cookies about 1/2-inch thick. Set wire racks on the baking
sheets and lay out the biscotti on them. Return them to the oven for
20 to 30 minutes, or until very firm and crisp. Cool on the racks,
then transfer them to a tin for long keeping. Try adding 1 1/2-to-2
tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to this recipe for a nice
variation.

Weight loss hints and tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to shed a few pounds and also improve your general vitality, then you need to start a thoughtfully calculated wholesome meal plan. In theory, this must involve five standard portions of grains, cereals and vegetables each day and take in the right fusion of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

When devising a weight loss program, the most important step is to try to decrease your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fats and salt.

When people first start dieting, they usually direct your attention to retail store and branded foods labelled 'low fat'. To do this is usually a mistake, for a food item can be moderate in fat content, but also far too high in carbs.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. We all need water , it is necessary for our body's health and is void of fat and calories. Water also fills a dieter's tummy and helps reduce feelings of hunger. The recommended amount medical experts claim that a good target is to drink at least 6 tumblers of plain water every day.

Rather than focusing on those foods you ought to leave out of your diet, focus on the sensible foods that you are able to bring into your diet. If you can bring in the recommended portions nutritious grains and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll discover that you feel more satisfied and have a much lower probability of being seduced by those unhealthy afternoon biscuits.
