Longer Consumption of Green Coffee Has Better Slimming Effects
Have you ever tried to lose weight? If yes, another question is, have you ever tried a weight loss product that is marketed for its slimming effects upon its consumption? If your answer to this question is also a yes, you probably would have wanted to increase its consumption to experience more and more weight loss. The same goes with the Leptin Green Coffee 800, which is a popular and widely known replacement of regular coffee but with much better slimming effects.
Many people have tendency to quickly expect the results by consuming lots of green coffee but for a shorter duration of time. Their reasoning behind this behavior is that if they eat lot of high calorie food, they gain weight faster, and drinking Leptin Green Coffee 800 should also follow the same pattern. In their view, lots of green coffee in a short duration should mean much quicker weight loss in a short duration. However, weight loss does not work in the same way as the weight gain. Leptin Green Coffee 800 works by maintaining the vitality and by keeping the energy levels high. This reduces the fat by increasing metabolism at a constant rate.
The way it reflects in the weight loss is dependent on how consistently you consume Leptin Green Coffee 800 for a longer duration. Studies have proved that people who consumed Leptin Green Coffee 800 for quite long durations had much lower fat percentage in their body than those who had short durations of its heavier consumption. People who continued to drink Leptin Green Coffee 800 continuously felt more active while not losing their physical energy and still kept burning fat consistently.
Green coffee promotes reduction of weight and burning fat without compromising on your health unlike many other slimming products. This is why it is always recommended to consume refreshing green coffee as your regular drink and to patiently experience its results along with your entire fitness regime.

The Paleo Diet Recipes – Exposing One Of The Most Brutal Paleo Diet Recipes!
The Paleo diet recipes I dug up from an internet archive not too long ago were dreadfully lame! I made a couple of those recipes and they were so flavorless, I don't think any modern caveman would lap them up.
Okay! Maybe some would, but let's get something straight....
Even though the modern Paleolithic diet is not renowned for its tasty offerings, that doesn't mean we can't dish up some mouth-watering Paleo cuisines!
See, recently I found a bunch of Paleolithic cookbooks. The Paleo diet recipes presented in those books seemed gastronomically satisfying. Actually, they are hundreds of recipes in those books. I've only tried about 14 so far and they all tasted good!
I'm so drunk with joy because prior to discovering those cookbooks, my interest in this healthy diet had waned considerably no thanks to the lack of quality Paleo meal recipes online.
In fact, I feel extremely delighted right now, thus I wish to share a BRUTALLY delicious Paleo recipe which I obtained from one of the cookbooks.
And at the end of this recipe, I'll tell you where to get those cookbooks if you're interested.
Now, enjoy this recipe!

Paleo Chicken Recipes – The Recipe that Won My Mother-In-Law’s Heart!
I've been looking for some delectable paleo chicken recipes like forever; I think...Look, I was sick and tired of hearing my mother-in-law's negative remarks about the paleo diet (I've always been at odds with her!).
And despite the obvious change in my physique (I lost some body fat thanks to this diet), she kept insisting that the "caveman diet" is a fad type of diet and may be detrimental to my mind in the long run.
Huh? For real?
Well you see, the Paleolithic diet is perceived by many as one of the most boring dietary regimen on the planet. You can't eat dairy stuff, artificial preservatives, rice, bread etc.
These are staple foods of most people!
So when you go on a paleo diet plan, you can't eat those things. You end up eating tasteless dishes every single day, and your mind may very well go nuts. Well...at least that's her theory which I argued vehemently.
And then she challenged me!
She told me to search for some nice paleo chicken recipes and quit eating the same thing every day. See, I only knew how to make 2 different paleo chicken meals...
One is paleo chicken soup with cabbage and the other, paleo chicken with a bunch of garlic and onion. Hmmm...Pretty boring I admit.
So I accepted her challenge. I checked out a few bookstores and after what seemed like forever, I came across a bunch of download only paleo cookbooks online. There are so many sumptuous paleo chicken recipes in those books and they're also pretty easy to prepare!
Heck, they have all kinds of stuff in there including recipes for paleo cookies, chocolates, noodles, snacks etc all done the paleo way. You may follow the link at the bottom to check out the cookbooks:
Anyway, here's the chicken recipe that won my mother-in-law's heart!
Paleo Style Chicken and Egg Salad with Satay Gravy
Ingredients for the salad:
1 steamed chicken breast, shredded.
2 boiled eggs, cut them into quarters
1 carrot, diced
1 cup of rocket leaves
1 large green capsicum, diced
Ingredients for gravy:
1 tbs olive oil
¼ cup of almond butter
¼ cup of coconut cream
1 grated white onion
3 cloves crushed garlic
Some chili flakes
Directions:
1) Fry garlic and onion with olive oil until they turn slightly browned.
2) Now put in the remaining gravy ingredients and stir until gravy thickens. Remove from heat and add in chili flakes.
3) Put the ingredients for salad in a bowl and then pour in the gravy.
Now, lap up what I consider to be one of the best paleo chicken recipes on the planet (my mum-in-law thinks so too!).
So if you're interested in whipping up all sorts of tasty paleo chicken recipes such as hazelnut chicken schnitzel, chicken larb kai, Bombay skewers plus loads of recipes on snacks, seafood, omelette, salads, done Paleolithic diet style, then go to: http://www.paleorecipecookbooks.info/

It's quite easy to do so - just follow the step-by-step instructions. I'm sure it'll turn out alright.
You know, recently I tried my hands on a few paleo diet cake recipes which I learned from a digital cookbook set and they all turned out okay.
One of the first paleo cakes I baked had a really burnt look, but surprisingly it tasted awesome! Heck even my fiancé' liked it a lot and she's doesn't even follow the caveman diet. Cool huh?
By the way, if you're interested in downloading that paleo cookbook set just follow the link at the bottom.
You'll find lots of tasty paleo recipes in those cookbooks - seafood, beef, chicken, cookies, noodles etc. I don't recall the exact number of recipes, but they do have several paleo diet cake recipes.
Okay I should stop blabbing now. After all, you want to know how to make that paleo pecan nut cake right? So, let's begin!
You'll need these ingredients: 600 grams of pecan nut flour, 30 grams of macadamia nuts, 30 grams of shelled walnuts, 60 grams of raisins, a bit of rosemary and finally, 3 tbs of olive oil
Directions:
Step 1
Pour pecan nut flour into a mixing bowl and stir it around .Next add about 800 ml of water but don't pour the whole jug into the bowl. Instead pour in a gradual manner and repeatedly stir the flour to ensure that lumps do not form.
The mixture must not become too drippy or thick so stir until it is absolutely smooth.
Step 2
Raisins should be soaked thoroughly and the excess water squeezed out completely. Next, drop macadamia nuts, walnuts, raisins and 2 tbs olive oil into the mixture.
Step 3
Grease a shallow cake pan (cake height shouldn't be more than 1 cm) and pour the entire mixture into it. Use the remaining olive oil (1tbs) to drizzle over the mixture and add some rosemary on top of it. Heat oven to 180°C. Place the cake pan in the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes.

Paleolithic Diet Food List Super Paleo Food List And Recipe Combo For Your Gastronomic Pleasure!
When it came to finding precise Paleolithic diet food list and recipes, part of me felt like giving up! This happened months ago when I was first introduced to the world of Paleolithic nutrition diet. See, there was so much contradicting information on what can or cannot be eaten by a Palo diet follower. Alright look, we don't have to be so neurotic about it. We do have the choice of adding non-Paleo friendly ingredients in our daily meals. Really, it all depends on your level of strictness. And besides, there are plenty of seasoning alternatives to juice up the taste of your daily Paleo meals. For example, many folks like to add salt in their dishes (me too!). Now, in the caveman diet list, salt is a no-no item.
So what can you do?
Well, I just use vegetables organic kelp granules or add more sautéed onion, garlic and shallot combo to juice up the taste of my Paleo foods. Listen, I learned A LOT of about Paleolithic diet food list along with tons of tasty recipes from several downloadable cookbooks. I'll tell you where to get those cookbooks in a short while, but I'm in a sharing mood right now so check out the following food list and recipe first.
Basic Food List
Fruits and Vegetables - Asparagus, avocado, apricot, bananas, capsicum, cabbage, garlic, ginger, leek and lychee are all Paleo approved. Meanwhile, peas, green beans, sweet potato, and chestnuts are not Paleo friendly.
Meats and seafood - Bison, cow, buffalo, duck, poultry venison and veal are alright. Bacon and ham on the other hand, aren't 100% Paleo approved.
Other foods to be avoided by strict Paleo followers - Maple syrup, coffee beans arrowroot and gelatin.
Now, here's one of my favorite Paleo diet recipes!
Paleo Turkey Meatloaf
Ingredients:
1 lbs ground turkey, 1 teaspoon kelp granules, 1 onion, 1 egg, ½ cup ground nuts combo ( I combined crush walnuts and almonds), 5 cloves garlic, some black pepper.
Directions:
Combine ingredients well. Next, grease a loaf pan with some olive oil and put the mixed ingredients on the pan. Bake for approximately 70 - 75 minutes.
Now, SATISFY your gastronomic urge with this yummy turkey meat loaf made with ingredients that are in accordance with the Paleolithic diet food list.
Oh yes! About those Paleo recipe cookbooks I mentioned earlier. You can download them by following this link: http://www.paleorecipecookbooks.info/

Repeat after me: "I'm capable of dishing out a sinfully delicious Paleo diet meal plan that will rock the appetite of even the fussiest Wooly mammoths."
That's right! We Paleo diet followers can cook up a storm in the kitchen. You see, I dislike hearing ignorant comments made by people who do not follow this diet. They say we only eat awfully bland Paleo dishes...They are so wrong!
Now, Wooly mammoths from the Paleolithic era have long gone from this world, but we caveman of the 21st century are here and ready to prepare high quality Paleo recipes, right?
So without further ado, here's a very satisfying 2-course Paleo diet meal plan (more Paleolithic recipe resources are included at the end of this piece). If those mighty Wooly mammoths are alive, surely they will lap up these dishes and may even ask for a second serving!
Meal 1 (Appetizer):
Beef and Carrot Curry Soup
½ Cup of coconut milk
1 Large onion
1 stalk of celery
½ Tablespoon of red curry paste
1 Table spoon of olive oil
½ Cups of walnuts
1 ¼ Cups of carrots (diced)
2 Cups of water
A drizzle of honey
A couple of pinches of white pepper
Directions: First you sauté the celery and onion. Next, put in the walnuts and carrots and sauté once again for about 5 minutes. Pour 2 cups of water, close the lid and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes. Now place them in a blender, pour the coconut milk and blend away until the ingredients become soupy.
Add pepper as well as the curry paste and blend again. Finally, drizzle the soup with some honey and enjoy.
Now let's complete this 2-course Paleo diet meal plan with one of my favorite dishes...
Meal 2 (Main Course):
Scrumptious Paleo Shoulder Pork Roast
A large piece of lean pork shoulder
½ Cup of fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
½ Cup of fresh sage (finely chopped)
½ Cup of fresh parsley (finely chopped)
5 - 7 cloves of finely chopped garlic (I love garlic!)
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons dried oregano
¼ Cup of olive oil
Directions: Place all ingredients (except for the pork shoulder, of course) in a bowl and stir them around for a good couple of minutes. Make sure they are nicely mixed together.
Now, put the lean pork shoulder on the oven and rub the blended ingredients all over it. Massage the meat with those ingredients (man I'm drooling already). Finally roast the shoulder for approximately 40 minutes. I usually cook a pound of shoulder and it takes around 35 - 40 minutes to roast.
Take out from oven and enjoy! They say Paleolithic diet foods are boring? NOOO! The above 2-course Paleo diet meal plan is the real deal my friends.

The Secret Is In the Sauce – A Raw Food Chef’s Taste Trick - LearnRawFood.com
My name is Jennifer Cornbleet, but sometimes when I'm cooking, my alter-ego -- 'Saucy Susan' - takes over. You see, I love what sauces do for the flavor and texture of a recipe, and I'm always looking for ways to sauce-up a meal or snack.
The problem is that I don't like what the ingredients in traditional sauces do for my waistline or my arteries. That's why it was important to me to re-imagine sauces in both of my raw cookbooks, Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People and Raw for Dessert.
You might be wondering what kind of sauce recipes would be appropriate to a desserts cookbook. Raw food sauce recipes, like their traditional counterparts, can be sweet or savory. Some of my favorite raw food sauces serve as the 'crowning glory' on ice cream sundaes.
So in this article, I'd like to invite everyone to 'get sauced' the healthy way...with some delicious raw food sauce recipes that you can whip up in no time.
It's the Sauce, Silly
Do you know where a lot of the flavor can be found in a dish? That's right! In the sauce. After all, isn't fettuccine just pasta until you spoon on Alfredo Sauce? Isn't a vegetable spring roll just 'bunny food' until you give it a whole new personality by drizzling on a spicy, flavorful Thai-style peanut sauce?
Imagine ice cream without hot fudge sauce. Or think about where a certain fast food giant would be today if it served two all-beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onion, on a sesame seed without 'special sauce'?.
It's easy to see that to get more flavor into every bite, the secret is in the sauce. What is less easy to see is that the ingredients that go into typical sauces - like butter, cream, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, refined sugars, etc - are not healthy.
For example, there are 850 Calories in a single serving of Fettuccine Alfredo from Olive Garden and 432 of those calories are from fat. As for the Big Mac, it has about 560 calories...with nearly 100 of them coming from the sauce which is made from salad dressing, pickles, and brown sugar.
Dessert sauces are the biggest culprits when it comes to sneaking in fat and calories. A two-tablespoon serving of a commercial hot fudge sauce manufactured by Smuckers, for example, has 4.5 grams of fat and 18 grams of sugar. That doesn't sound so bad if you can limit yourself to just two tablespoons...but I know that I can't!
There are other problems with traditional sauces, too, that occur because of the processed foods used to make them. The recent problem with commercial peanut butter underscores how much healthier it is to use ingredients that come straight from your garden...or your local farmer.
That's the whole theory behind the raw food movement: using fresh, local ingredients to make delicious meals and snacks. So I've found ways to make Alfredo without the cream...peanut sauce without the processing...and lip-smacking dessert sauces without a hint of refined sugar.
Care to join me for a dip into sauces?
Raw Food Sauce Recipe Ideas
Raw food sauces are (you've heard this phrase before) delicious and nutritious. For example, my recipe for raw food Fettuccine Alfredo dresses translucent ribbons of pale green zucchini with a sauce made from soaked cashews and a tasty spice blend. Believe me; you won't miss the cream or the butter (or the fat and calories).
If you like your sauces green instead of white, try my raw food Pesto. Like the original, my recipes calls for basil leaves, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pine nuts. The only difference is that the pine nuts are raw instead of roasted.
One of my favorite raw food sauce recipes is the Mock Peanut Sauce that I created for Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People. Traditionally, this sauce calls for roasted peanuts, but I use raw almond butter instead. As well as retaining more nutrients, I think raw almond butter actually tastes better in the recipe.
You can make your own almond butter or purchase it in stores. Just make sure you choose raw almond butter.
Mock Peanut Sauce
• 1/2 cup raw almond butter
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons tamari
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• Dash cayenne
• Dash salt
• Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth
This simple raw food sauce can be kept for up to five days in the refrigerator. Drizzle it over your favorite veggies at lunch or dinner or use it as a dipping sauce to add Asian flair to the crudités your serve at your next party.
Every Day Is Sundae
I created my raw food Chocolate Ganache Fudge Sauce for all the chocoholics I know (including me!), but I never miss a chance to introduce people to my rich, nutty Caramel Sauce. Instead of the butter and sugar of a traditional caramel, this nutty brown sauce call for dates, cashews, vanilla...and dark agave syrup.
Agave syrup (also called nectar) is a natural sweetener made from the juice of the agave plant. I use the dark version in this recipe to give the caramel a deep, molasses-like flavor and color.
Raw Food Caramel Sauce Recipe
• 1/2 cup raw cashew butter
• 1/2 cup dark agave syrup
• 1/2 cup Date Paste (see below)
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extra
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
Date Paste is made by soaking Medjool dates in filtered water and then processing the fruit along with the soaking water into a paste-y consistency.
This caramel sauce is a 'natural' when it comes to topping off a raw food ice cream sundae where nut milk replaces the dairy variety. It's also amazing on top of cake or in-between the layers.
For a really decadent dessert, you can drizzle Caramel Sauce and Chocolate Sauce over ice cream and top with crushed raw nuts and dried fruits. Amazing!
When You Want to Warm Up After a Cool Down
Like the savory raw food Mock Peanut Sauce above, the sweet raw food Caramel Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator. To take the 'chill off' before serving, follow this simple process:
• Place 2 inches of water in a saucepan and bring to boil.
• Turn off the heat.
• Place a small bowl of sauce in the hot water (The sides of the bowl should be high enough so that the water from the saucepan cannot flow into the sauce)
• Let sit for 20 minutes
• Stir to achieve proper consistency.
As an alternative, you can place the bowl in a food dehydrator at 105 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

The problem is that I don't like what the ingredients in traditional sauces do for my waistline or my arteries. That's why it was important to me to re-imagine sauces in both of my raw cookbooks, Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People and Raw for Dessert.
You might be wondering what kind of sauce recipes would be appropriate to a desserts cookbook. Raw food sauce recipes, like their traditional counterparts, can be sweet or savory. Some of my favorite raw food sauces serve as the 'crowning glory' on ice cream sundaes.
So in this article, I'd like to invite everyone to 'get sauced' the healthy way...with some delicious raw food sauce recipes that you can whip up in no time.
It's the Sauce, Silly
Do you know where a lot of the flavor can be found in a dish? That's right! In the sauce. After all, isn't fettuccine just pasta until you spoon on Alfredo Sauce? Isn't a vegetable spring roll just 'bunny food' until you give it a whole new personality by drizzling on a spicy, flavorful Thai-style peanut sauce?
Imagine ice cream without hot fudge sauce. Or think about where a certain fast food giant would be today if it served two all-beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onion, on a sesame seed without 'special sauce'?.
It's easy to see that to get more flavor into every bite, the secret is in the sauce. What is less easy to see is that the ingredients that go into typical sauces - like butter, cream, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, refined sugars, etc - are not healthy.
For example, there are 850 Calories in a single serving of Fettuccine Alfredo from Olive Garden and 432 of those calories are from fat. As for the Big Mac, it has about 560 calories...with nearly 100 of them coming from the sauce which is made from salad dressing, pickles, and brown sugar.
Dessert sauces are the biggest culprits when it comes to sneaking in fat and calories. A two-tablespoon serving of a commercial hot fudge sauce manufactured by Smuckers, for example, has 4.5 grams of fat and 18 grams of sugar. That doesn't sound so bad if you can limit yourself to just two tablespoons...but I know that I can't!
There are other problems with traditional sauces, too, that occur because of the processed foods used to make them. The recent problem with commercial peanut butter underscores how much healthier it is to use ingredients that come straight from your garden...or your local farmer.
That's the whole theory behind the raw food movement: using fresh, local ingredients to make delicious meals and snacks. So I've found ways to make Alfredo without the cream...peanut sauce without the processing...and lip-smacking dessert sauces without a hint of refined sugar.
Care to join me for a dip into sauces?
Raw Food Sauce Recipe Ideas
Raw food sauces are (you've heard this phrase before) delicious and nutritious. For example, my recipe for raw food Fettuccine Alfredo dresses translucent ribbons of pale green zucchini with a sauce made from soaked cashews and a tasty spice blend. Believe me; you won't miss the cream or the butter (or the fat and calories).
If you like your sauces green instead of white, try my raw food Pesto. Like the original, my recipes calls for basil leaves, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pine nuts. The only difference is that the pine nuts are raw instead of roasted.
One of my favorite raw food sauce recipes is the Mock Peanut Sauce that I created for Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People. Traditionally, this sauce calls for roasted peanuts, but I use raw almond butter instead. As well as retaining more nutrients, I think raw almond butter actually tastes better in the recipe.
You can make your own almond butter or purchase it in stores. Just make sure you choose raw almond butter.
Mock Peanut Sauce
• 1/2 cup raw almond butter
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons tamari
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• Dash cayenne
• Dash salt
• Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth
This simple raw food sauce can be kept for up to five days in the refrigerator. Drizzle it over your favorite veggies at lunch or dinner or use it as a dipping sauce to add Asian flair to the crudités your serve at your next party.
Every Day Is Sundae
I created my raw food Chocolate Ganache Fudge Sauce for all the chocoholics I know (including me!), but I never miss a chance to introduce people to my rich, nutty Caramel Sauce. Instead of the butter and sugar of a traditional caramel, this nutty brown sauce call for dates, cashews, vanilla...and dark agave syrup.
Agave syrup (also called nectar) is a natural sweetener made from the juice of the agave plant. I use the dark version in this recipe to give the caramel a deep, molasses-like flavor and color.
Raw Food Caramel Sauce Recipe
• 1/2 cup raw cashew butter
• 1/2 cup dark agave syrup
• 1/2 cup Date Paste (see below)
• 2 tablespoons vanilla extra
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
Date Paste is made by soaking Medjool dates in filtered water and then processing the fruit along with the soaking water into a paste-y consistency.
This caramel sauce is a 'natural' when it comes to topping off a raw food ice cream sundae where nut milk replaces the dairy variety. It's also amazing on top of cake or in-between the layers.
For a really decadent dessert, you can drizzle Caramel Sauce and Chocolate Sauce over ice cream and top with crushed raw nuts and dried fruits. Amazing!
