Ever since I've started this programme, my favourite channel on TV has to be the Asian Food Channel! I watch it thinking there must be something I could do that I could tweak to fit my eating plan and I watch it so I could drool at the yummy food that I am not allowed to eat YET.
Why YET? I was on the phone with Shane today and we talked about how that this is only temporary. Phase 1 is intentionally made the way it is made so that you detox your body and eliminate food that potentially cause weight gain. That would be pretty much all the sugars, starches and carbohydrates. And I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself daily but I am amazed with the results so far! So being in this temporary state is when you reach your goal weight. For me I estimate 6 to 8 months for me to do that. I shall continue to be patient and forge on!
I will not talk about Phase 2 or 3 so much now until I am close to getting there. But I do look forward to that moment!
Anyway, back to the present moment. I have not managed to get recipes from AFC but what I do notice is how simple it is preparing fantastic looking meals! And I become aware of the ingredients they put in the dishes. My favourite chefs thus far has to be Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson. They both seriously rock in the "making-food-look-good-and-simple" category!
Here are more meals which I have prepared and also one prepared by Mummy and the other by Auntie Lauren since the last post.
Beef in curry powder (I checked the ingredients, they are all legit for the eating plan!) stir fried with ginger, garlic and onion and lime juice sitting on a bed of chinese cabbage stir fried with garlic and mushrooms and tomatoes.
Chicken Salad - Chicken was coated with turmeric powder before frying in olive oil (not too much oil. You need a good non-stick pan). Used lettuce and celery and chili to give it colour.
Beef coated in curry powder. Served with stir fry kai lan and asparagus.
The asparagus made a big difference to the taste. It was so yummy!
