Eating Grains - The Healthy Alternative

Nothing can beat the versatility of the humble grain. The next time you are looking for an entrée or a side dish with a twist, look no further than brown rice, wild rice, quinoa, barley or bulgur wheat.

Excellent sources of vitamins, protein, dietary fiber and iron; these grains pack a nutritional wallop. Moreover, each grain has its own distinct flavor and characteristic, making them nutritious and tasty as well.

All five types of grain are adaptable enough to be added to any dish. Using the same recipe, just use a different type of grain and you've got a dish that tastes completely different. Mix and match the different grains for a unique flavor every time. Couscous and quinoa go together very well and so do wild rice and brown rice. Experiment away! You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Try some of these ideas to incorporate these grains into your diet.

Adding ¼ cup cooked wild rice or brown rice when cooking tomato or vegetable soup will give the soup fullness and flavor.

For breakfast try cooking brown rice or bulgur wheat in a combination of ¼ cup apple juice and ¾ cup water. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over the hot cooked rice for a deliciously wholesome breakfast.

When making the recipe for meat chili, replace 1 pound of wheat with 1 cup dry bulgur. Sauté the bulgur along with the other vegetables and onion. When you finish sautéing, add liquid and let the chili cook on a slow fire till it thickens.

Here's a hearty side dish that goes well with turkey or chicken. Sauté ½ cup mushrooms and ½ cup onions in I teaspoon olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add two cups low-fat, chicken broth and bring the mixture to boil on high fire. Add 1 cup barley to the boiling mixture, stir and reduce heat. Cover the pan and let it simmer for at least 45 minutes. Enjoy!

Bulgur Wheat
Delicious and easy to prepare, bulgur wheat is the main ingredient in the tabbouleh, a Middle Eastern salad that is fast gaining popularity all over the world. It is often used to replace ground beef in vegetarian cuisine, giving the vegetable chili a texture similar to that of ground beef but with far less fat and much more fiber.

Barley
A kernel-shaped, mild-flavored grain, barley is often used for thickening soups and stews and is a great addition to casseroles comprising of winter vegetables such as root vegetables, carrots and onions.

Wild Rice
Not really rice at all, wild rice is the seed of a grass grown in Minnesota. Because of its overpowering flavor, wild rice is usually combined with other grains before serving. It is delicious when used in different kinds of soups.

Couscous
Couscous is actually tiny pasta that is made from fine semolina wheat. It is easy to prepare and makes a deliciously airy bed for fish or chicken kebab.

Quinoa
Its superb nutty aroma and taste make it great for use in soups, salad, pilaf and a variety of side dishes.

Brown Rice
Brown rice is basically just unpolished rice. Using it in any recipe that calls for rice, increases the fiber content of the dish instantly.

Rice Diet 7 Day - Losing Weight by Eating Rice?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


First of all: Despite its name, the Rice Diet is not based upon eating rice.

Created by Duke University, the Rice Diet was created in order to help those with hypertension, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.

The diet is not a typical diet and cannot be followed from the comfort of your home.

The Rice Diet is medically supervised that is only administered by doctors and nutritionists. Only doctors and nutrition experts that work in a place called Rice House in North Carolina are able to provide you with the needed items for the diet.

Many overweight people from all over the world save up money and make time to visit the Rice Diet Center. The center offers many health classes and workshops. The visitors are also put under the watch of nutrition experts. Usually, visitors stay for 4-8 weeks.

The entire program consists of just 2 phases.

The beginning phase of the diet consists of eating just grains and fruits. This should always and only be done under medical supervision of a doctor or nutritionist.

The second phase of the diet allows dieters to add fish, beans, vegetables, and other types of carbs to their own menu.

The Rice Diet program is best suited for those who are extremely overweight and have been struggling with obesity since childhood or for a few years. It is also for people who need to lose a lot of weight, not just a few pounds. The diet is not for everyone as it is also very costly.

Maybe you have heard about the Cabbage Soup Diet. What are the differences between the Cabbage Soup Diet and the Rice Diet? The Cabbage Soup Diet is much different from the Rice Diet, and is not as healthy as the latter. The diet is also referred to as the Mayo Clinic Program.

So, what is the Cabbage Soup (Mayo Clinic) Diet?

The Cabbage Soup Diet is a week long plan that allows the dieter to eat an unlimited amount of cabbage soup each day.

This is so because the soup has virtually no calories. The diet also allows for other foods to be eaten along with the soup, but these foods are limited, unlike the cabbage soup.

The menu that goes along with the diet is slightly bizarre to some. Some days it lets a dieter eat fruit with unlimited cabbage soup, then some days the diet only allows unlimited soup with vegetables along with it.

On different days the diet allows users to eat an unlimited amount of rice, while other days are made to be full of soup and bananas.

This unusual weight loss program is a quick week long diet for people to lose weight by eating very low amounts of calories each day.

As a whole, I do not recommend this diet because it is not very healthy, and healthier diets exist.

The Rice Diet is a much better choice; however, the Rice Diet was not created for everyday people who are just looking to drop a few pounds. It is only for extremely overweight people who have no other means of losing weight.

Overall, both programs are not the best choice for everyday dieters. In my opinion, there are much better options out there. If you are an average dieter, I do not recommend either of these diets for you.
