Kokumi enhances other tastes, aids fat reduction … Kokumi isn’t exactly a taste, but a food attribute identified by the Japanese, sometimes translated as “heartiness” or “mouthfulness”. It distinguishes compounds in food that enhance flavors, such as calcium, protamine (found in fish), L-histidine (an amino acid) and glutathione (found in yeast extract). Like umami, kokumi makes food yummy. And the yummier the food, you should eat less. Makes delicious (and nutritious) sense. Think the Japanese are on to something? http://ift.tt/1vcz3vW

Using their noodle(s) … Rather than good old wheat and eggs, fine-dining restaurants are showcasing “authentic” noodles made from black beans, buckwheat, carrots, cornstarch, lentils, mushrooms, peppers, pinto beans, potatoes, rice, soybeans, sweet potatoes and yams with innumerable textures and flavors. Billed as easy to prepare and transport, filling, storable for years and tasty hot, cold or at room temperature. Pretty compelling carb shunners. http://ift.tt/1zO8kac

Looks like you have about 2½ months left to eat more … Though some of you have made New Year’s resolutions to eat less—or healthier, seems old habits linger—a good three months after holiday excesses. Seems Americans are buying about 450 extra calories post-holidays on a per-serving basis. And this supposedly lasts until March. So as you hunker down for the winter, do as hibernating bears do—live off of your body fat—not those extra calories. http://ift.tt/1wkf21g
