"I made this in the oven with a roasting pan. I put water in the
bottom of the pan and heated the oven to 400 deg. Then I lined the rack
with aluminum foil, and baked the marinated salmon for 10-15 minutes. It
was very tasty. The ingredients listed below are doubled from the book.
Also, I used olive oil instead of canola oil."
"I made this today from some ingredients I had on hand. It was
yummy.If you want to try to follow a flat belly diet, I will be posting
recipes that I try and like. I am trying to increase my intake of
MUFA's(Monounsaturated fatty acids), These are really heart healthy fats
that help to lower your bad cholesterol(LDL and VLDL, Low Density
Lipoprotein and Very LDL) and raise your good Cholesterol, HDL(High
Density Lipoprotein) The low density are smaller particles and get into
the linings of your vessels, The high density lipoprotein helps keep
your arteries clean. A 1600 calorie a day diet with a seving of MUFA's
at each meal is the basic premise of the flat belly diet. Scientists
already knew that MUFA's were associated with longevity, but new
research demonstrates that they also can help you lose belly fat.
Several new diets are cropping up centered all around MUFAs – you may
hear them called ‘Flat Belly’ diets. Eating one serving at each meal can
help control cravings and provide a mental and physical boost.
Regardless of what your plan is, you can incorporate these delicious and
nutritious foods into your diet. 1.Oils – flaxseed, canola, olive,
sunflower, peanut, or soybean oil (and a few others) all do the trick.
Pesto sauce also counts! One serving = 1 tablespoon. 2.Nuts & seeds –
Nuts and natural nut butters (such as almond butter or peanut butter)
are a great source of protein. Try adding nuts as salad toppers, or
combine the butters with vegetables or crackers. One serving = 2
tablespoons. 3.Avocado – Slice an avocado for your salad, add a layer to
a sandwich with sprouts and Swiss, or chop it and add it to salsa or
another dip. One serving = ¼ cup. 4.Olives – Black or green olives can
be used as toppings on entrees such as pizza, pasta, or chicken breast.
One serving = 10 large olives. 5.Chocolate - Go with dark or semisweet
chocolate. Top your Pinkberry with chocolate chips, add shavings to a
favorite low-calorie dessert, or simple indulge in a dark chocolate
square. One serving = ¼ cup. Bon Appetit!"
"I haven't tried this one yet, but it sounded delicious. Fresh
grilled salmon would take it to the unbelievably delicious level, I
think. If you're using grilled salmon, just cook the other ingredients
as posted and throw in the salmon right before mixing in the pasta. I
wouldn't leave out the wine. It will add an extra dimension to the dish.
I am posting for safe keeping and will rate it as soon as I make it.

"This is a recipe from the Flat Belly Diet Cookbook, but I have
added 2 eggs to it, as I felt their recipe was like a hockey puck! The
frosting is awesome on day one - it tends to break down by day 2 - maybe
it should be refrigerated!"
