Here is an interesting article for you:
Dispelling the Cholesterol Myth about Prawns.
Perhaps due to their wariness of cholesterol, some consumers limit their intake of shellfish. This may explain why the majority of prawns are bought as a treat in December for the popular Christmas dish - prawn cocktail. While delighted that thereâs such a demand for prawns at this time of the year the Sea Fish Industry Authority (Seafish) is campaigning to dispel the myth about cholesterol and keep prawns on the menu all year round.
People are confused by the message that prawns contain high levels of cholesterol. Cholesterol is only found in foods of animal origin and liver, egg yolk and shellfish are the major sources of dietary cholesterol. However, the level of blood cholesterol is affected more by the amount and type of fat in the diet than the amount of dietary cholesterol. A high intake of saturates, and fat of all types, can increase the amount of cholesterol produced in the liver and so the amount in the blood. This increases the risk of heart disease. Prawns are naturally low in saturated fat, 100g contains only 0.2g.
Prawns have only 99kcal per 100g while other proteins such as beef mince contain 209kcal and 13.5g of fat and grilled sausages contain 294kcal and over 22g of fat. Prawns are even lower in calories and fat than chicken. As well as being high in protein, prawns contain magnesium, which plays a role in bone development and nerve and muscle function; Zinc, which is good for growing bodies, and selenium, an important antioxidant.
Mandy Queen, consumer manager at Seafish says: "Prawns are mostly available already cooked. They can be bought frozen, pre-packed or straight from the fishmongerâs and are incredibly easy to incorporate into any dish â all you need to do is open the packaging. They can be added to meals such as curries, stir-fryâs, salads, pizzas, sandwiches and make a great snack too - prawns are ideal for dipping and are a much healthier alternative to crisps. Prawns are also excellent value for money and are available to buy for less than £1 per 100g."
For those who are passionate about prawns, Seafish has two free prawn recipe leaflets and a recipe booklet for the first 5,000 consumers who send a postcard to Prawn Recipe Offer, PO Box 119, Edinburgh, EH7 4HS or e-mail recipes@seafish.co.uk. The public can find over 300 seafood recipes at www.seafish.org.uk.
I love prawns, and don't spare a chance when i get it, but within limits.
There is a high possibility that prawns can do such a mischief, walking will bring your cholestrol to normal, so get off the stress as it too increases cholestrol.

fast diet recipes?
Q. any 1 know of a diet that really helps?
Answer
hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...
i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...
just dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...
i'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)
the trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)
what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...
vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...
fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit
now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)
here they come :)
fast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...
its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...
my diet...
breakfast:
skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...
and try cereal in the mornings... weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...
for lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...
then for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...
eat sandwiches as much as possible... i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies...
and combined with dieting... you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday... you'll see the difference...defenitely... if you think gym is boring... take up dance classes... or run along the beach... if you have one... or skate... or just about any physical activity... brisk walking will also help...
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight...
drink loads of water...atleast 6 glasses per day... and do a lot of physical activity.... take the stairwy instead of the lift.... and small things like that...
if you have any more queries...mail me... cheers :) and good luck :) its not difficult...you'll get used to it in a few days... and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body...
you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down... after that... its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise :)
