Pancakes recipie with five grains help with weight loss says Houston in home trainer of athletes

Weight Loss requires a disciplined approach to eating and often some favorite foods have to be eliminated to reach the desired goals. Runners need carbs for energy but often they sabotage their weight loss efforts by eating the wrong carbs. HOWEVER, the recipe below for three grain pancakes is a healthy, low glycemic index choice for breakfast for even the strictest dieter.or runner. These pancakes have oats (full of protein, iron and fiber), millet (full of iron, thiamine and fiber) and flax seeds (rich in iron, fiber and protein). Flax seeds are known as a modern miracle food because they have omega 3 fatty acids which can lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides. Millet is the sixth most important grain in the world and is the least allergenic and most digestible grain and provides a great deal of the B Vitamins. It is also considered a good food to eat for longetivity. Hull-less Oat kernels are a high source of protein, almost equivalent of soy protein and are also good for lowering blood cholesterol. This recipe makes about fifteen 3-inch pancakes and one serving is two pancakes. 1/2 cup Flax Seeds, 1/2 cup millet, 1/2 cup whole grain oats, two eggs beaten (or egg whites only if trying to lower cholesterol), 1 1/2 cup water, 1 tbs. sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla, 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 tbs. baking soda, 1/3 tsp. salt, 1 Cup Flour, mini chocolate chips Beat eggs and add water and vanilla and then all of the dry ingredients. Stir and if the mixture is too thick, add more water till it is the consistency of a creamy soup. Pour three inch pancakes into a heated skillet and top with about six chocolate chips. Serve TWO pancakes with light syrup...the recipe will make pancakes for a week if you make the whole recipie and store them in a plastic container.
