Recipes To Prevent Childhood Obesity

2009-03-24T10:52:00.001-06:00

Healthy Cooking for Kids, encourages the reader to look at your own diet history across your lifespan. Why you eat what we eat. What your parents were taught about nutrition, what they have invoked upon you, and what you have and are teaching your children today.

Healthy Cooking for Kids, is written for you the homemaker as a tool to learn and then pass on to the children and teens in your life. Because, no one in this world is going to care for them like you do. And a diet book handed to them when they are 45 and fat, will be too late.

I welcome you into my world of cooking for kids/cowboys, where you are given simple reminders that food is a primary necessity and secondarily a treat. And eating is the perpetual effect of dieting.

Steak Fajitas with Lime and Black Pepper

2009-03-15T16:11:00.003-06:00

Prep: 20min
Cook: 45 For more of our favorite
Servings:6-8 recipes visit us at
Break the diet cycle.com

Ingredients: 2 large onions, peeled and cut lengthwise into 6 wedges, leaving root ends intact; 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar; 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; 1/4 cup fresh lime juice; 2 pounds skirt steak, halved crosswise; 2 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper; 18 flour tortillas; 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves; 1 cup salsa (homemade or store-bought).

Prepare grill for cooking. Thread onions onto skewers (or put in grill basket), then brush with 1/2 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. When fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for three-to-four seconds), grill onions, turning occasionally, until tender, 16-to-20 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board. When just cool enough to handle, cut onions into 1-inch pieces and toss with vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. While onions are grilling, stir together lime juice and remaining teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons oil in a shallow dish, then add steak and marinate at room temperature, turning once, 10 minutes. Pat steak dry, then rub with pepper.
Grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack, turning once, 6-to-10 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board, then let stand 5 minutes before cutting diagonally into thin slices. While steak is standing, toast tortillas directly on grill rack, turning once, until puffed slightly and browned in spots, about 1 minute total. Serve steak, onions, cilantro and a spoonful of salsa all wrapped in tortillas.

Cook's note: If you aren't able to grill, onions (no need to skewer) and steak can be cooked in a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, and tortillas can be toasted over gas (hold with tongs) or directly on top of electric burners. Cut skirt steak into pieces to fit in grill pan and grill in batches without crowding.

Cooking For Kids

2009-02-12T12:59:00.004-07:00

A diet book handed to your children when they are 45 and fat, will be too late.

That is why I, Ondi Shepperson RN, mother and rancher, have written Cooking for Kids. Cooking for kids is written for you, the homemaker. as a learning tool for nutrition education to teach the children and teens in your life how to eat right. Because, no one in this world is going to care for them like you do.

Cooking for kids is brought to you by the Western Wellness Institute at www.breakthedietcycle.com, operated in conjunction with a private family owned cattle ranch South of Cody Wyoming.

Cooking for Kids is your source for easy and quick dinner ideas from ranches across the Cowboy State. Where good wholesome food is a way of life. And where nutrition, for hard working cowboys and girls of all ages, is often the only disease prevention that they will take the time for.

Cooking for Kids, encourages the reader to look at your own diet history across your lifespan. Why you eat what we eat. What your parents were taught about nutrition. What they have invoked upon you, and what you have and are teaching your children about nutrition today.

I welcome you into my world of cooking for kids, where you are given simple reminders that food is a primary necessity and secondarily a treat. And eating is the perpetual effect of dieting. For the downloadable PDF eBook, Cooking for Kids, visit www.breakthedietcycle.com/healthycooking_kids.html

Mealtime is not always divine, at least at our house it’s not. Sometimes the lettuce is brown on the edges. But, it is there. And everyone gets some, and rarely without my Granddaddy’s “you’ll get the scurvy” story.

Food is comforting. And is and should be the focal point of the day. Meal time is the climax, the focal pint of the day for adults, teens and children alike. Nothing warms the body and the soul like a bowl of soup.

Mealtime shared around the table , not only symbolizes the anchor of the family.
It is the anchor of family dynamics.
Now this is a huge job, a responsibility, for those of us as home makers.
Cooking for Kids, is not another weight loss, nor diet book. Cooking for Kids is a cooking book with ideas and nutrition information to bring readers one step closer to healthier living, diet free.

Prevention Is Education-

2007-04-26T21:18:00.000-06:00

An Ounce of Prevention- Found in Nutrition Information for Healthy Living

Type 2-Diabetes Mellitus caused more deaths in American last year than motor vehicle crashes according to the 2006 statistics from the Center for Disease Control.

Diabetes and other diseases are preventable with nutrition information and education. This additional nutrition information can be found with the Western Wellness and Weight Loss Institute at www.breakthedietcycle.com

Type 2-Diabetes Mellitus-When fats are metabolized a hormone or chemical signal tells our bodies how to process the food into energy.

Both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes are characterized by elevated sugar levels in the blood.
Every cell in our bodies requires this blood sugar, Glucose, for energy. With Diabetes the sugar/Glucose from foods accumulate in the blood and is not utilized by the cells of the body for energy.

Calorie-dense foods of our modern diet produce erroneous amounts of blood glucose.

The excess glucose, of a calorie-dense diet, attaches to blood proteins and interferes with their natural functions leading to disorders like kidney failure, blindness, stroke, heart disease and narrowing of blood vessels.

Nutrition Information Unique to the Health Food Industry-“The way our body functions is unchanged from those who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago and our lifestyle has accelerated. The result is biological disaster.”
Philip J. Goscienski M.D.

Calorie sparse foods of early America and foods of underdeveloped countries today do not produce high levels of glucose in the blood.

People in early America ate less only when there was less to eat. In some geographic locations where food deprivation occurred frequently the "Thrifty Gene" resulted. This gene left some populations the ability to store fat during periods of plenty to survive during times of famine. This ensured the survival of a species. This gene still persists, but is no longer necessary in modern cultures.

Treatment for Diabetes for a Population is Economic Disaster- Though now unneeded this gene persists, while westernization of cultures resumes.
Dr. Frank Booth of the University of Missouri confirms, “Human cells are maladapted to an inactive lifestyle.”

The challenge of this generation is to empower a culture to live modestly and promote healthy nutrition information and nutrition plans like those found at www.breakthedietcycle.com, for healthy living to suceed. Because, as Dr. Goscienski stated, “Prevention is possible. Treatment is economically unsustainable.”

RURAL NURSE PROVIDES NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION & SUPPLEMENTS TO REMOTE COMMUNITY BY ESTABLISHING THE WESTERN WELLNESS INSTITUTE

2007-02-04T19:55:00.000-07:00

MEETEETSE, WY. (February 5, 2007)-Metabolic rates, caloric intake, fat, sodium and carbohydrate grams are typically assessed to monitor health. Few people, though, have been told how many grams of protein they must consume each day in order to maintain and restore lean body tissues. A local nurse and ranch wife, Ondi Shepperson, has developed www.breakthedietcycle.com for a comprehensive overview of nutrition education and diet plans. Mrs. Shepperson offers primary nutrition education for weight loss or gain, illness and disease prevention, energy enhancement and overall better health. Shepperson’s website offers a variety of nutrition supplements for protein as well as additional nutritional supplements for health promotion. Shoppers can select from six delightful flavors of protein shake mix to ensure they are consuming adequate protein each day. All nutrition supplements are shipped ground FedEx directly to your home or business and are backed by a 30 day money back guarantee.

Shepperson, a Registered Nurse up until 1999, suffered a closed head injury due to a horse accident and has since been unable to work in a clinical nursing setting. Shepperson has turned her passion for helping others into a career in diet and nutrition education with her website, www.breakthedietcycle.com. Ultimately, the online store provides health conscious shoppers nutrition assessments coupled with nutrition education and diet plans. Shoppers are able to obtain nutrition information and submit personal health concerns and details for individual health and diet consultation. Communication and collaboration are the integral aspect of wellness and weight loss success at Western Wellness Institute. This online relationship for wellness and weight loss ensures adherence to nutrition plans and eliminates the frustration of the weight loss process alone. An additional benefit of www.breakthedietcycle.com is that it allows clients to receive nutritional products at home within a few days and download nutrition education instantly while avoiding cumbersome weekly meetings and embarrassing weigh-ins.

Shakes, Pie and Peanut Butter and Jelly cookie recipes are just a few of the ideas found at www.breakthedietcycle.com, where dieting is not the weight loss process for health improvement. Nutrition education and lifestyle changes are made a sustainable alternative for better health. Information, guidance and nutritional supplements are found to meet every lifestyle, age and health concern. Prices range from $14.95 and up. Unlike other health food shops, www.breakthedietcycle.com plans to offer family and business packages, giving buyers the chance to save money with group discounts.

Corporate America spends billions of dollars annually on unhealthy employees according to The National Center for Health Statistics.

The media’s colorful and enticing advertisements provoking the senses with the sights, smells and sizzles of voluptuous treats ensures the average American to eat 3,000 extra calories each day.

The driving force of America’s economy, the Food Industry, is continually making the population sick with their use of cheap fillers, processed flours, refined sugars and trans-fats.

Health conditions, lost work time, missed school time and diseases are all effects of the poor nutrition that contributes to the 67% of Americans who are clinically obese today. Research conducted by Western Wellness Institute may be read at www.breakthedietcycle.com

Businesses spend approximately $48 billion dollars annually to cover health care costs associated with obesity and poor nutrition. These costs include insurance claims, loss in business productivity due to missed work days and preventable illnesses and injuries.

According to The Center for Disease Control, “as the standard of living rises for a country the quality and the dollar amount spent on food and nutrition diminishes.” Inexpensive fillers in foods; sugars and starches, are often made the most appealing to the general public. They are given a higher dollar value and provide the consumer the least nutritional value.

Poor nutrition today of diets high in; calories, starches, nicotine, trans and modified fats, alcohol and cholesterol and diets deprived of; protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, mineral, mono unsaturated fats, water and micro nutrients contribute significantly to the onset of obesity.

Resources found at www.breakthedietcycle.com, enable people to make healthier food choices and provide the public much needed nutrition education.

Invaluable benefits of better health; prolonged life expectancy, increased energy, enhanced self confidence, improved mental alertness and job performance along with reduced health care costs are reasons to begin to improve employee wellness.

The money spent on poor health and rotten nutrition can be saved by business owners and family providers. Businesses that provide employee wellness interventions and Wellness plans like those found at: www.breakthedietcycle.com, see increased productivity and fewer insurance claims annually.
