September, 2009. It has been a while. This summer has been filled with lots and lots of workouts. Not much blog writing time. It's also seen the ascent of some great new recipes, that I just can get enough of. So, here's a blog entry in honor of a good, healthy, but delicious diet. This little recipe takes about 10 minutes to make and is a great high protein post-workout meal, but also makes a great lunch. It's Bomber's Tuna Salad:
2 - 5oz. cans of tuna in water. I like the albacore. I rinse the can a few times with water to wash out salt.
1 Tbsp or less of Hellman's Low-fat mayonaise.
1 Tbsp or less of cold flax seed oil.
2 Tbsp French's No-fat honey mustard.
The following ingrediants I add to my personal taste.
Raisins
Pine nuts
Wheat germ
Celery
Cut apple
I mix everything together and enjoy on dry toasted high protein or high fiber wheat bread, on low fat saltines, or just as a salad itself. It's delicious.
Speaking of low-fat diets, a paper came out in the journal Cell today that characterizes the latest gene linked to obesity. Mice that had the IKKE gene knocked out, did not get obese when placed on a high fat diet. The group is already looking for inhibitors of the protein, inhibitors which one might predict would "protect" someone from becoming obese. The link to the summary is below.

I still say stick to a great diet. More recipes to come. Stay healthy this weekend!
