Fast Food More Dangerous If Obese? |
|
|
A research tidbit for Kimkins readers:
The
heavier you are the more dangerous fast food becomes according to a
recent study. Scientists at University at Buffalo discovered that after
overweight participants at 1,800 calories of fast food their
inflammation levels were significantly higher than normal weight
participants who also ate 1,800 calories.
During high
inflammation your body produces less HDL (good) cholesterol and more
LDL & triglycerides (bad) which raises your risk of attack.

Read one of Derek's posts in the Kimkins member forums.
He's a true example of determination to make positive healthy changes
in his life:
My name is Derek. I have been a [Kimkins]
member here for a while now, but this is my first post. Due to recent
attacks against this diet plan, I decided I should at least share my
story.
I began this plan early this year and lost the majority of the weight
the first 4-5 months. I have since been at a steady 195 lbs now for 6
months. I actually began this diet without weighing myself. Once I
started noticing a big difference in my face and clothes, I purchased a
new digital scale and it read exactly 300 lbs. So unfortunately, I do
not have a starting weight. My best guess would be that I weighed in
the neighborhood of 320 or so, and have lost a total of about 125 lbs.
I began the plan wearing a size 50 mens pants, and now I fit
comfortably in a 36. (I'm 6'2")
Like I said, I hit my goal weight of 195 back in April/May and have
been able to maintain it ever since. I eat 2-3 times a day, or whenever
I am hungry. I still try to keep my carbs low, and occasionally eat
something I shouldn't. If I notice a couple pounds on the scale, I go
right back on plan and it melts off in no time.
I have not had any side effects whatsoever. I have *never* starved
myself and always eat a multivitamin every day. I haven't weighed this
little since I was in middle school.
Update 9/17/08:
Thought I would just post a quick update. My weight has not budged since losing more than 100 pounds last year.
I am a gym rat now and really enjoy working out. If I don't go at least
4 times a week I feel lousy. My life has changed so much for the
better, it's unreal. Here is a recent pic. Sorry for the quality, it's
a quick cam.

Beef Tenderloin & Peppercorn Brandy Sauce |
|
|
Is there a more classic special dinner than steak
(especially accompanied by a flavorful peppercorn brandy sauce!) Not
only impressive and absolutely delicious, but super fast to whip up.
Be sure to try this for your next important occasion!
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 2 6-oz beef tenderloin steaks
- 10.5 oz beef broth, double strength
- 1 oz Calvados apple brandy
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- 1 tsp butter (not margarine)
- 1 tsp cracked green or black peppercorns
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chives, minced
Let steaks come to room temperature (about 15 minutes). Coat both sides of steaks with coarsely ground black pepper and firmly press them in.
Melt butter over medium heat in nonstick or cast iron skillet. Brown
the steaks well, about 5 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the
second depending on thickness. Remove steaks to a heated plate and
cover with foil to keep warm.
Add brandy, swirling to deglaze the pan and dissolve flavor bits.
Flaming the brandy is only recommended for experienced cooks and
without children in the area. Add beef broth, shallot, green
peppercorns, mushrooms and heat on high until reduced 50%. Check for
seasoning, add additional black pepper or salt if needed.
Transfer steaks to warm plates, pour 1 tablespoon of brandy sauce over
and top with mushrooms and chives. Serve and enjoy with someone
special!
