Rice & Lentil Salad 1
1 cup Wild rice
1 cup Long grain brown rice
1 cup Green (French) lentils
COMBINE WITH
1 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).

Losing weight
If you enjoy eating, but want to shed a few kilos and better your overall vitality, then, without doubt, you ought to eat a carefully planned sensible weight loss program. Ideally, this should include 5 measures of grains and vegetables on a daily basis and incorporate the right fusion of fat, carbohydrates and proteins.
In planning a meal plan, it is important to make efforts to moderate your consumption of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Dieters most certainly direct your attention to chain store and well known food products labelled 'low-fat'. To do this is often wrong, since a food product may be significantly reduced in fats, but still far too high in carbohydrates and calories.
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Your body must have water , it is indispensable for our body's survival and has no fat. It is also good in that it fills the drinker's empty stomach and decreases sensations of hunger. A few experts insist that you should drink at least six cups of water a day.
Rather than thinking about the junk foods you really should remove from your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods which you should introduce to your meal plan. If one can bring in the recommended amount nourishing fruit & vegetables into your daily routine, you'll find that you feel more satisfied and have a significantl;y reduced likelihood of giving in to those damaging mid-afternoon potato chips.
