Hummus...
Hummus is an Arabic word which means chickpeas. It is a dip or spread which can be eat either with raw fresh vegetables or with any kind of sandwiches, pita bread or something fried.
Hummus is an oldest food that can be traced back to the old Egyptian age. It tastes different in different places as one can use various ingredients to make this spread.
I am giving you the recipe of Hummus with roasted garlic, which is very easy to make.
Ingredients: 1 cup chickpeas (keep it in water overnight and use when it becomes soft); 2 tablespoon roasted garlic; 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon oregano (or ajwain, I think this will also do fine instead of oregano).
Method: In a blender put all the ingredients and blends until it becomes a paste of thick consistency. If required add one more spoon of olive oil.
As the hummus looks very bland, always add some chopped parsley leaves (or chopped coriander leaves)with it, spread some red chilli flakes on it and serve it in a very colorful dish. It not only needs to taste good, it needs to look good and attractive at the same time.
You can preserve it in your refrigerator for 2-3 days in an air-tight container.

Reasons to eat Walnut...
For healthy snacking walnut is an excellent choice.
Walnut contains omega-3 fatty acid. It is a good vegeterian source of this essential fatty acid which helps to promote cadiovascular rates and reduce inflammation.
It also contains ellagic acid, an antioxidant compound that helps to maintain a healthy immune system.
Walnut is also helping to maintain a healthy blood pressure.
So try to add walnut to your hot or cold breakfast and also as a snack. Use walnut oil as salad dressing.

Phentermine-the weight-loss pill
Phentermine is the main ingredient of a particular type of diet pill. In 1990, the FDA of USA has approved the use of phentermine together with another drug fenfluramine and uses this cocktail drug as a weight loss pill. It had created a huge success. But it has been discovered that the ingredient fenfluramine was causing heart valve failure among the users. So from then on the cocktail drug has been banned, and instead of fenfluramine, only the phentermine is used in this weight loss pill.
It has many side effects such as dry mouth, diarrhea or constipation, restlessness and others which are not so serious. Some serious side effects may also occur. So before using this drug, always consult your doctor and last but not the least try to maintain a controlled lifestyle so that you will not require using this weight loss pill at all.

Fast Weight Loss-Effortlessly Remove Unwanted Belly Fat!
When you decide to loss weight, you may choose any of the three following three categories, such as: fast & effortless weightloss, permanent weightloss and low cost weightloss.
If you choose fast weightloss, it is simply not going to happen. You may loss unwanted belly fat also, but for this you need either a hospital surgery, or a slow and steady weight loss program that’s healthy for you. You didn’t gain the belly fat over three beers, you won’t get rid of it that quickly either.
For this you need a good low-carb diet … and the understanding that you have to be prepared to eat low-carb the rest of your life. Too many people think that a diet is some sort of temporary restriction, binding you only as long as needed to drop the weight. But how do you expect the weight to stay off if you go back to the eating and exercising lifestyle that put it on in the first place?
As Albert Einstein put it: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." If your previous lifestyle got you fat, you can’t go back to it and expect a different result. So whatever diet & exercise routines you settle on – just be sure to understand that it’s for life, not for just a few weeks.
You want to get rid of unwanted belly fat? It’s going to come off as you lose weight with any good diet plan – there isn’t any method to take off weight only from a single desired spot on your body. (Sort a like looking at a glass of water, and saying “I only want to drink the water in middle”… the fat in your body may be more visible as belly fat – but trust me, it’s all over your body!)
Fast weightloss is a myth that is advertised to suckers to separate them from their money… plan a change in your lifestyle, and you’ll drop the weight naturally and permanently.
