Recipe: Skinny Dip

SqueezeItIn.com Girls | July 8, 2010

During the hot summer months who doesn’t love a great skinny dip?  Guest blogger and nutritionista Elisa Zied is back this week with a fabulous recipe.  Enjoy!

A Great Skinny Dip!

by Elisa Zied, MS, RD, CDN

I just love shrimp. It’s relatively low in calories, and has little saturated fat—the kind of fat that clogs up arteries. It’s also a great source of high quality protein as well as vitamin D and selenium. It’s also a good source of B vitamins including niacin and vitamin B12, as well as  the minerals iron, phosphorus, and copper.

Many are concerned about the high content of dietary cholesterol in shrimp—3 ounces of shrimp has about 130 milligrams of cholesterol. Too much dietary cholesterol can raise our blood cholesterol level, and if too much cholesterol builds up on the walls of our blood vessels, it will be hard for blood to pass through and eventually contribute to the development of a heart attack or stroke.

The good news is that saturated fat has a much bigger impact on blood cholesterol levels, and because shrimp has so many other nutrients and is low in saturated fat, it can be a tasty dietary addition in moderate amounts.

Here’s a recipe from my second book, Feed Your Family Right! How to Make Smart Food and Fitness Choices for a Healthy Lifestyle (Wiley, 2007). Enjoy!

Nutrition: Oh How Sweet

SqueezeItIn.com Girls | June 24, 2010
Nutritionist and author Elisa Zied is back this week with a power packed piece of produce – complete with a delicious recipe you can stylishly serve in shot glasses! – and some surprising info about this sweet summer staple.

Oh How Sweet…Strawberries!

by Elisa Zied, MS, RD, CDN

They’re sweet and have lots of appeal simply because of their beauty. They can be eaten whole and fresh, sliced a top whole grain, high fiber cereal, oatmeal, or over low fat or nonfat plain yogurt. They pack in valuable nutrients including vitamin C, folate, potassium, and fiber as well as plant chemicals including flavonoids, anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and others that are protective against heart disease and cancer. Some studies show that consuming strawberries may even lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid—high levels of it is linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Here’s a quick, easy, delicious recipe taken from my second book, Feed Your Family Right! You can have this as a mini meal, split it in half and share with a friend or family member, or make more to serve in shot glasses to guests at your summer fete. Enjoy!! Read the rest of this entry »
