Rice & Lentil Salad
1 cup Wild rice
1 cup Long grain brown rice
1 cup Green (French) lentils
COMBINE WITH
1 each Red, yellow, green bell
Pepper, chopped
2 cup Small cherry tomatoes
1 Or 2 carrots
1/4 cup Chopped fresh basil (more or
Less)
1 To 2 tablespoon or chopped
Fresh mint
DRESSING
each Nonfat tomato-herb
each Red wine vinegar
Cook grains separately, in 2 cups water, until done,
45 minutes or less.
For the dressing, I used a prepared nonfat tomato-herb dressing
(Trader Joe's) mixed about half and half with red wine vinegar
because I generally find prepared nonfat dressings too thick and too
sweet for my taste. I didn't measure, but I used perhaps half a cup,
maybe as much as a cup, total, just enough to moisten everything.
I let it sit in the refrigerator all day, to let the flavors mix. I
don't know how many people it served--it filled a large bowl-- but
there wasn't any left over after the potluck (and while I was glad
that everyone liked it, I was sorry not to have some to take home).

Weight loss hints and tips
If your aim is to drop a dress size and better your general condition, then, as most people know, you should eat a specially configured well-balanced daily routine. Ideally, this ought to include five standard portions of fruit/vegetables daily and also take in the optimum fusion of carbohydrates, fat, and protein.
When planning a diet, it is important to also make efforts to decrease ingestion of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
When starting a weight loss program, people most certainly focus on retail store and branded foods referred to as 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often incorrect, for a food item may be lowered in fat, but nevertheless far too high in carbs & calories.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Sometimes at some stage in a busy day, you assume that you are a little peckish but in fact you may want a pure glass of water or orange juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite similar, albeit one results in bad health and the other one is healthy.
Rather than thinking about the many junk foods you ought to remove from your meal plan, focus on the healthy foods that you might want to bring into your dietary regime. If you manage to insert some nutritious pulses and vegetables into your diet, you'll discover that stop feeling hungry and have a substantially decreased risk of being seduced by those unwholesome afternoon potato chips.
