Consume Complex Carbohydrates

Speaking of food with powerful capacity of reducing stress, we must say complex carbohydrates are the most important. Potatoes are on the top and it is best to prepare this vegetable with its skin.

In this group we would include all cabbage types, celery, carrot, kohlrabi. Beans also play important role – beans, lentils, peas, string bean.

Halved Avocado

According to the latest researches, avocado is number one nutritive food product, because it contains specific carbohydrate called mannoheptulose. This sugar type does not stimulate insulin secretion, on the contrary it stops its secretion.

strawberry-chia-seed-jam1

The exact proportion to soak chia seeds is 1:9 – chia:liquid. If you are baking cookies it is important to use the accurate amount of chia seeds and liquid. If you use a spoon to measure chia seeds, measure with a flat tablespoon, because later when chia is soaked in the liquid there is no way for the spoon to be tipped. Another option is to use a cup or measuring container. 1:8 or 1:7 is also a good proportion if you want a super thick jam.

If you do not have chia seeds you can also use ground flax seed (grind it in a coffee grinder). Flaxseed absorbs less liquid than chia, and the possible proportion is 1:3 or 1:4.

You do not have to add cocoa, but the walnuts give an awesome taste to the jam.

Baked Zucchini With Cheese Recipe

You can prepare this gluten free recipe in both summer and winter. You can also prepare it in large quantities, so you will have enough for the next day as well. It tastes so good right after you take it out of the fridge. The ingredients are optional, some like it with more cheese.

 

Ingredients

  • 2-4 lbs (1-2 kg) zucchini
  • 1.5 lbs (700 grams) low fat cheese
  • 6-7-8 eggs
  • (fresh grape leaves)
  • dill
  • garlic

Preparation

Cut the zucchini in 2 halves and each half in 3 strips. Dice the strips into 1.5 cm long cubes.

Bake the zucchini in the oven and mix them after 20 minutes. It is not necessary to add oil and butter if you have a nice baking pan.

You can add some butter after baking the zucchini. If you have filled the baking pan to the top, it will take 60 minutes (3 breaks after every 20 minutes to mix the zucchini cubes) to dehydrate zucchini and get a nice golden color. If you use 2 or 3 zucchini, 40 minutes will be enough (mix the zucchini after 20 minutes).

Bake the zucchini at higher temperature in the middle of the oven, not at the bottom. This recipe is quite easy to prepare, but you need to have enough time to roast the zucchini cubes, so they lose all the water. It’s not tasty if your zucchini are too moist.

You can shorten the baking time if you first dice the zucchini and then squeeze the cubes using both hands to drain all the moisture of the zucchini. In this case you will need to stir the zucchini cubes every 10 minutes so the upper layer will not burn.
