Recipe
Ingredients
1 lb cranberries
1 water as needed
6 oz can frozen orange juice conc
2 tbsp granul. artificial sweetener
Recipe
Preparation
Wash cranberries, removing stems and soft berries. Cook according to
package instructions until berries are soft.
My Note: 2 Tbsp. regular sugar would add 96 calories and 24.8 gm
carbohydrate to the total recipe (6 calories, 1.55 gm carbohyrate per
serving.) Add while cranberries are cooking if desired and omit
sweetener.
Chop berries in blender or put through food mill. Add 2 cups water.
Strain through cheesecloth or several thicknesses of nylon net.
Add orange juice concentrate and sweetener (if using). Dilute with
enough water to make 8 cups. (6 cups printed in the book would not
make 16 servings.)
1/2 cup serving - 32 calories made with sweetener, 1/2 fruit exchange
.4 gm protein, 0.1 gm fat, 7.9 gm carbohydrate, .4 mg sodium, 105.8
mg potassium.

The problems associated with reduced carb diets
Its extremely popular, but it is truly safe for you?
Higher consumption of animal-based products may lead into raised consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the probability of heart problems.
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys may become stressed and that the resulting change in acid levels in the blood can cause bone loss, but some of the scientifc research testing the theory have failed to find significant evidence of damage to the kidneys or bone damage.
Healthy foods with carotenes
(includes carrots, collard greens and winter squash)
These orange and green vegetables and fruits have high levels of the carotenoids believed play a key role in cancer prevention, spefically cancer of the esophagus. Many are low in calories, so should be included in every weight loss program.
