Ano nga ba ang tunay na nakakapagpataba sa atin, ang fats o ang carbs? Curious ka rin ba, momsh? Naku, kami rin! Kaya alamin natin yan dito! 👇 #ataleoftwomeals #fatsvscarbs #baconorbagel
What’s Really Making You Fat? Fats or Carbs?
Imagine that it’s time for breakfast. You have 2 choices: a plate of Bacon & Eggs or a Bagel with Low-Fat Cream Cheese.
Which one will make you fatter? Think it’s the Bacon & Eggs? Wrong!
Bacon & Eggs ➡️ Fat
Fat doesn’t start breaking down as quickly as other foods. It takes a long time to digest. Your body dissolves the fat into droplets, then into fatty acids and glycerol. There’s no dramatic blood-glucose spike, and no insulin spike. Without an insulin spike, fatty acids aren’t trapped in your fat cells. What happens to the fatty acids? Some are used for energy and some are distributed and stored.
Bagel with Low-Fat Cream Cheese ➡️ Carbs
Carbs in your stomach digest faster than most other nutrients. It is used for energy are digested, flooding your bloodstream with glucose. Your body rapidly secretes insulin, which signals your body to store fat in 2 ways: Insulin tells your fat cells to pull in fat from the bloodstream, making you fatter. Second, insulin tells your fat cells to prevent fatty acids from leaving, preventing you from becoming leaner. Your body hangs on to all the fat it can find.
So you see, eating that bacon doesn’t make you fat. But eating a bagel full of carbs tells your body to keep storing more fat, making you fatter. Now, which would you choose?

Spaghetti

Place the salmon filets in a large zipped-top bag. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a medium bowl (I added a sprinkle of dried parsley for color– try chopped scallion!)
Pour half of this sauce over the salmon filets, coating them thoroughly. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Line the marinated salmon filets on the baking sheet. You can hold onto this used marinade– see step 5.
Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness (about 10 minutes per 1-inch thickness— measured from the thickest part of the filet).
You can broil the salmon for the last 3 minutes for crispier edges.
Meanwhile, begin steaming the broccoli and reducing the glaze. First, the broccoli: fill a large saucepan with 1 inch of water.
If you have a steamer, place it inside. Bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli.
Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.
Now, the glaze:
Pour the remaining, unused marinade into a small saucepan or skillet. If you want, you can add the remaining (used) marinade as well.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat low-medium and allow to simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken.
Remove cooked salmon from the oven. Some of the glaze may have browned on the edges.
You can discard this.
Garnish the salmon with any of the listed options. Serve with steamed broccoli and additional glaze.
Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat to your liking.
Make ahead tip:
You can marinate the salmon up to 4 hours in advance. If needed, you can extend to 8 hours.
You can steam the broccoli and reduce the unused marinade (steps 4 and 5) ahead of time as well.
Heat oven to 350°F. Use lightly floured hands to press 3/4 of the cookie dough onto bottom and up side of 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Bake 12 to 15 min. or until golden brown; cool completely.
Meanwhile, roll remaining cookie dough into 6 (1-1/2-inch) balls; place 2 inches apart, on baking sheet. Bake 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown.
Beat pudding mix and milk with whisk 2 min. (Pudding will be thick.) Add 1/4 cup peanut butter; mix well.
Stir in 1/2 cup COOL WHIP; spread onto bottom of crust. Top with remaining COOL WHIP, spreading to within 1 inch of edge. Refrigerate 2 hours or until filling is firm.
Remove rim of pan carefully. Cut each cookie in half; insert, cut sides down, into top of pie.
Microwave remaining peanut butter in microwaveable bowl on high 45 sec. or until melted; stir.
Melt chocolate as directed on package. Drizzle peanut butter, then chocolate over pie; sprinkle with nuts.
