Recipe for Losing Weight: White Cheese and Tomato Salad
It's one of my favorite recipes, and it applies the combination of Calcium and linoleic acid for weight loss.



White Cheese and Tomato Recipe
Mix the following together:
  • 3-4 medium sized tomatoes, cut in cubes;
  • white cheese (not feta thought; if uncertain, try the Eastern European white cheese cut in small cubes (Romanian, Bulgarian) or the Turkish one)
  • 2 spoons sunflower oil
  • black light olives (the ones with less salt and fat, usually found in cans)
  • dry oregano
  • dry basil
  • a dash of grounded white pepper
  • salt, if necessary
I am not giving the exact quantities of cheese and olives because it is a matter of taste.
It makes 2-3 servings. You don't need an additional dish, you can have this salad by itself, for dinner.
I bet you will love the recipe. I sometimes even use other kinds of cheese if I don't have the white one.

Linoleic Acid To Help You Lose Weight
As I have mentioned in my previous article, a combination of Calcium and linoleic acid can help people lose weight.

Linoleic acid has a couple of benefits (list from Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Supplements May Speed Weight Loss):


  • increases metabolic rate
  • decreases abdominal fat
  • enhances muscle growth
  • lowers cholesterol and triglycerides
  • lowers insulin resistance
  • reduces food-induced allergic reactions
  • enhances immune system

Natural sources for linoleic acid are vegetable oils (from soya, corn, sunflower, evening primrose, pumpkin), soya, nuts, sunflower seeds, nuts, avocado, some fruits and vegetables.

Note: Too much linoleic acid can actually cause you to put on weight, which is actually what happened to me once upon a time. So be careful how much you have of them!

Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.

Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.

I will share with you, step by step, everything I know. Free advice.
