Black 'n' White Brownies Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup cake flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup shortening, softened 1/2 cup granulated sugar replacement 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp water 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut, grated 1 tsp coconut milk 1 oz baking chocolate, melted
Recipe
Preparation
These brownies are mailable.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cream shortening and sugar replacement until light and fluffy. (My note: be sure to use a sugar replacement that does not lose sweetness when heated - Aspertame is not suitable.)
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract and water.
Divide batter into two equal parts. To one part add unsweetened coconut and coconut milk. Stir to completely blend. To the remaining half, beat in the melted chocolate.
Spread coconut mixture on bottom of well-greased 8-in square pan. Spread chocolate layer on top of coconut layer. Bake at 350 F for 25 to 30 min. Cut into 1 x 2 inch bars.

Weight loss hints and tips
In planning a meal plan, the most important step is to make efforts to lower your intake of fat, salt and refined carbohydrates.
Some low carb diet tips:
* Know what is in your food
Be sceptical of food packaging that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the reverse of the can or package. Some are only a little decreased and in some instances still higher than a competitors normal brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are just the same.
