Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili

2 medium-large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons light or extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 to 3 garlic cloves
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
One 32-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes

2 teaspoons ground cumin

This weekend is a great time to dump your fridge. Follow the rule of five-if a product has one of these in the first five ingredients, toss it in the garbage as it is making you fatter and older, we believe:
1. Any saturated fat: if it comes from a four legged animal, it very likely belongs in this group, plus palm oil and coconut oil
2. Any trans fat: hydrogenated oils of any kind. Hydrogenated canola oil is a fake out-it is a trans fat-out with it!!!
3. Any simple sugar -these usually end in -ose like glucose or sucrose or fructose or dextrose. Exception in 100% fruit juices and in fresh fruit and veggies
4. Any syrup-these are usually another word for sugar as in high fructose corn syrup or malt syrup
5. Any grain but 100% whole grain; so 100% durum wheat is not 100% whole grain durum wheat-watch for the head fakes-they are as bad for labels as in a hockey game.

We asked viewers from across the country to write in and tell us why they wanted to take the Canada AM 'You: On a Diet' Challenge, which included a one-on-one consultation with best-selling author Dr. Michael Roizen. Three lucky ladies were chosen.
Over the next few months, these women will be working hard with Dr. Roizen and his team to whittle away their waistlines. Caroline, Suzanne and Tami will update us daily on their progress through blog entries which you can read below, chronicling their triumphs, their temptations and ultimately, their long-term weight loss goals.
If you have questions or comments for our winners, or if you just want to cheer them on, please email hsherman@ctv.ca

The 90-Day Live Longer, Feel Younger PlanFrom the show
Dr. Oz's "90-Day Live Longer, Feel Younger Plan"
The "YOU Docs"—Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen—say we're the fattest country in the world because of unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles. It doesn't have to be that way, though. They say you can get your health back on track in a mere 90 days with their lifestyle suggestions.
Yoga
According to Dr. Oz, yoga helps improve strength and flexibility and can also help control blood pressure and regulate breathing and heart rate.
Walk Every Day
Dr. Roizen says you absolutely must walk at least 30 minutes every day. "There's a hurricane? You walk 30 minutes a day," he says. "Earthquake—30 minutes a day. Tornado—30 minutes a day. Snowstorm—30 minutes a day."
Diet
As Dr. Roizen says, "food is medicine." For example, a recipe for whole wheat pizza dough with tomato paste can help dramatically reduce your risk of cancer. Dr. Oz also says that salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that can stabilize your heartbeat, lower blood pressure and help you to live longer.
Exercise and Weight Training
Stretching, weight-lifting and crunches should all be incorporated into your fitness routine. "A lot of folks think about how fast they run, but you've got to stay limber," Dr. Oz says. "You've got to do some weight training." According to Dr. Oz, the average 30-year-old woman should be able to do 45 bent-leg push-ups (and five fewer every following decade of her life), and the average 30-year-old man should be able to do 35 regular pushups (and five fewer every following decade of his life). "Those should be national benchmarks," Dr. Oz says. As a reminder, always consult your doctor for medical advice and treatment before starting any program.

CHRISTMAS SALSA
CHRISTMAS SALSA
2 medium navel oranges -- whole
1 pound whole cranberries -- washed well
2 jalapenos -- chopped
1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Place the oranges, skin and all, in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and chop very fine. Then add the cranberries, jalapenos, apricots, and the spices and process again. Do not over chop as you want to retain the integrity of the cranberries, apricot, and jalapeno. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Yield: Approx. 4 cups
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: This is marvelous with roast turkey, and I often use it on an English muffin as a substitute for marmalade.
