On the Importance of Maintaining Favorite Rituals for Weight Loss
From drinking too much coffee, alcohol or sugary drinks, to eating too much junk food and pasta, noodles, rice and other high-carb foods, there's plenty of vices that challenge our health every day.   For many people, it's not the actual offending substance that's hard to kick. It's the ritual of ingesting the offending potential poison.    Take the cigarette for example. Sure, there are a plethora of addictive chemicals in most cigarettes, and it's no doubt very hard to quit. But many people have successfully quit cold turkey; it's... Read more...

Diet Math 101: 2 Easy Ways to Slash over 10,000 Calories A Month
Let's take a couple common high-carb things that billions of people consume around the world every day: regular pasta, noodles and rice, and regular soda.  A suggested serving size for regular pasta and rice is about three-quarters of a cup. There are 200 calories in the serving size. But how many people actually stick to one serving size? Not everybody, that's for sure. So let's call it 300 calories, minimum for when you eat regular noodles or rice.  The 300 calories, in and of itself, is not necessarily high, considering... Read more...
Side Effects of a Low-Carb Vegetarian Diet
Eating lots of fresh vegetables is one golden rule of nutrition that all the thousands of diets known to mankind agree on (with certain rare exceptions, say, Arctic native societies, who lack access to abundant veggies). But even if you eat a low-carb diet with plenty of vegetables, if you’re also a low-carb dieter and vegetarian, are there any potential problems with a low-carb vegetarian diet? Any side effects? Low Cholesterol One side effect of being on a low-carb vegetarian diet is that you’ll have low cholesterol. And usually, that’s... Read more...

Kosher Milk: Does it do the Body Good?
Remember the old Dairy Council commercial that's still widely quoted today: "Milk...it does a body good!" A highly-effective advertising jingle from Madison Avenue for sure, but how truthful is it?  Before looking into the health benefits of milk, what makes kosher milk kosher? If you see a "K" symbol on a container of milk, it means that the milk was produced under the supervision of a rabbi, of course, and meaning that no non-kosher procedures, methodologies, or additives were used in the production of milk.   Ultra-orthodox Jews only drink designated...

Keeping Kosher on The Paleo Diet
If you keep kosher you’re adhering to a diet that has a 3,000+-year old tradition. Over the last few years, one of the more popular diets emulates an eating plan tens of thousands of years old. It’s called the ‘Paleo Diet,’ and in case you’re not familiar with its philosophy, here are the commandments of the Paleo Diet: Eat no grains (wheat, rice, couscous, bulgur, spelt, rye, etc.) Eat no legumes (beans, when not fermented contain phytates, which interfere with nutrient absorption) Eat no grain-fed meat (only grass-fed, pasture-raised meats...

Healthy, Low-Glycemic Shabbat Dinner
Let’s face it:  Jewish cooking, especially Ashkenazi (central and eastern European) food, is not always the healthiest fare. Step into any Jewish deli in the U.S., order a pastrami sandwich and you better have your cardiologist by your side. The enormous slabs of meat, most often corn-fed and pro-inflammatory, are often stacked in between two slices of processed, blood-sugar spiking and belly-bloating flour bread. To be fair, many Jewish delis serve sandwiches with small-batch, ‘Old World’ pumpernickel and rye bread [link to challah article], which is much healthier than conventional... Read more...
Healthy Challah
“I want to know where my bread comes from. I don’t want bread from some nameless basement bakery. I want my bread from a bakery that’s clean as my own kitchen.” --Preface to the book, “White Bread: A Social History of the Store-Bought Loaf,” by Aaron Bobrow-Strain This powerful consumer testimony dates back to the early 1920s, sandwiched (excuse the pun) between two drastically different eras of bread making, only 40 years apart. As the book ‘White Bread’ explains, in 1890, 90 percent of all bread made in the U.S. was...

Healthy Kosher Pastries (or: The Danger Lurking in Kosher Pastries)
Even though zero-calorie and certified-kosher (pareve) Miracle Noodle was created for people with special dietary needs, be it gluten-free, low-carb, diabetes-approved, and for those interested in just losing a few pounds, the Miracle Noodle team understands that you gotta live a little. L’Chaim! The powers that be behind Miracle Noodle are not Diet Dictators. We like to have our kosher cake, and eat it, too! But most kosher desserts that you can order either in a deli or online have a primary ingredient that has been scientifically proven to be... Read more...
The Healthiest Kosher Meat
As this kosher diet blog is being written, the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah has just been observed, nay, celebrated, with the last Torah parshah blending symbolically into Bereshit, the Torah’s beginning. This signifies the circular, eternal nature of the Torah. And as the study of Torah starts from the beginning again, worshippers again learn in Bereshit (Genesis; v: 27-28) that humans have dominion over the ‘beasts of the field.’ For some observant Jews, the passage in Bereshit is the end of the discussion; G-d has granted humans to have...

Fasting: It's Not Just for Yom Kippur
Both secular Jews and non-Jews alike might be surprised to learn that Yom Kippur isn’t the only Jewish holiday that calls for fasting. There are six other major traditional tzomot (Jewish fasting days), and more if you include fasts for the tzaddikim (righteous ones). Almost every, if not all, religions, have at least one fasting day. Beyond the scope of spiritual observance, though, is fasting healthy for you? Yom Kippur provides an opportunity for us to start anew. Not only spiritually, by reflecting upon how we can be more kind,... Read more...
