Preparation
Preparation time: 25 minutes. Cooking time: 1 hour. Yield: 9 1/2
cups.
1. Heat oil in 3-quart non-aluminum saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add garlic, onion, carrots and 1/2 cup of the zucchini. Cook,
stirring often, until onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add kidney
beans, tomatoes and their liquid, tomato paste, beef broth, 1 1/2
cups water, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt. Stir
until combined. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 40 minutes.
2. Add remaining zucchini, bulgur wheat and corn kernels. Simmer 10
minutes more. Add remaining 1/2 cup water as necessary. Taste and
adjust seasoning. Serve hot. Pass light sour cream or low-fat yogurt,
sliced green onions and cilantro leaves separately. Note: This is a
highly flavorful, crunchy and substantial chili. As with most chilis,
it's best made at least a day ahead so the flavors fully develop. Can
be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated or frozen as long as 3
months. Reheat gently, adjusting water and seasoning as needed.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weight
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Use soy flour or soy baking mix.
When you need to use flour for baking, substitute soya flour or a bake mix like Atkins baking mix. In most cases, you may change your favorite recipes that use conventional wheat flour to use these low carbohydrate alternatives.
* Make low carbohydrate breadcrumbs for breadcrumb coated foods.
Whilst you can sometimes buy low carb breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by using reduced carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carb bread in a pre-heated oven on a baking tray. Once it is well toasted, whizz it in your food processor or blender. Keep in an airtight jar.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes garlic, spinach, adzuki bean & tea)
The nutrients called 'flavonoids' present in these food types are thought by nutritionalists to have properties as anti-carcinogens.
Researchers researching the effects of flavonoids think they might also have numerous other healthy properties, amongst them, anti-dermatitis and antiplatelet capabilities.
The majority of these also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every diet system.
