Review: 'The American' misses the mark
George Clooney's new thriller "The American" takes itself very seriously. Not the bait-and-switch seriousness you would find in a Jason Bourne movie, where "realism" is just a camera style; and not the op-ed seriousness we get from "Michael Clayton," or "Syriana", where liberalism makes a pact with entertainment. No, this is a different register altogether: a hit-man movie concerned purely with the spiritual standing of its agonized anti-hero.

Roasted Zucchini Rounds
With so much zucchini around, we're always looking for new ways to use them. There are muffins, of course, quick breads, salads, pasta dishes, and then there's this great snack or appetizer recipe for crunchy zucchini rounds. Now, zucchini have a high water content, so you can draw out some of the water by sprinkling the zucchini rounds with a little salt, leaving them for a few minutes, then blotting them dry. Plus, the crunch really comes from the bread crumb topping, which complements the zucchini rather nicely. Enjoy these zucchini rounds as they are, or dip into a little pot of low fat marinara sauce.

HDL Cholesterol: Low Carb vs. Low Fat
A new study published in the August 3rd issue of Annals of Internal Medicine shows that low carb diets are more effective at boosting levels of HDL (good) cholesterol in very obese people (those with a BMI of 36) than low fat diets. This is good news for low carbers, as it bolsters their claim that eating low carb is not only an effective way to lose weight, but a harmless one, too. Naturally, the media are all over this study, and that's understandable. In response, dietitians from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) issued a statement noting that the people assigned the low-fat diet were in fact eating a calorie-restricted diet rather than a strictly low fat one. Their fat intake was limited to 30 percent of calories, which for many doesn't meet the definition of low fat. The committee also notes that more low carbers dropped out of the study than those on the calorie-restricted diet, and that in the end those on the low fat/calorie-restricted diet actually did a bit better in terms of triglyceride levels, LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels. Weight loss was about the same in both groups. Still, raising HDL cholesterol is a good thing, yes? Indeed, but the PCRM quotes low-fat guru Dean Ornish thus, "You don't need that many garbage trucks (HDL) if you don't have that much garbage (LDL)."HDL Cholesterol: Low Carb vs. Low Fat originally appeared on About.com Low Fat Cooking on Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 at 16:53:14.Permalink | Comment | Email this

Easy Fat-Free Strawberry Freezer Jam
While strawberries were at their seasonal peak, I decided to make the most of their relative cheapness and buy fresh strawberries in bulk at the farmers' market. I've eaten so many of them this summer, I'm amazed my skin hasn't turned a permanent shade of red. Other than tossing them into a bowl and topping them with deliciously thick nonfat Greek yogurt, drizzling them with a lemon syrup, or macerating them in balsamic vinegar, I've made quite a lot of strawberry freezer jam. This recipe for easy strawberry freezer jam uses a particular brand of powdered pectin. If you use a different brand of pectin, you will need to follow the instructions on the back of the box. And if you want to make a jam with less sugar or a sugar substitute, you must buy a pectin that allows you to do so.
