Breakfast

Organic Steel Cut Oats with Mixed Berry Sauce


After softening mixed berries with coconut oil and and all natural brown cane sugar via stove top, ingredients turned into berry sauce. I then added sauce to cooked organic steel cut oats. It was a scrumptious and filling breakfast. Hope you like the idea!

Mid Morning Snack

Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Almonds

A little sweet and a little salty, these dark chocolate almonds explode with flavor.

Find them at Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Almonds.

Lunch

Thai Black Fried Rice

 Black rice, or forbidden rice, is a product of Southeast Asia. Its rich in antioxidants that flush bodys waste and anthocyanins that prevent plague-build up in arteries to cause heart attack.

Like white rice, black rice can be cooked in many ways, including in fried rice. Todays black fried rice, for example, is a fantastic way to enjoy black rice. With eggs and broccoli, the dish was full of protein, vegetable and grain. Plus, it was tasty.

Afternoon Snack

Grapes, Walnuts and Honey

Dinner

Clean Eating Orange Chicken

Normal process of making orange chicken is to first bread and fry chicken in oil at high temperature, and then drown the chicken, by stir fry, in heavy, starchy and sugary sauce. (Trust me. Our family owned a Chinese restaurant. Ive seen the process many times.)

Orange chicken is delicious, but certainly unhealthy. Todays clean eating orange chicken, however, retains orange chickens tangy flavor without deep-frying and heavy breading. Its light, simple and (still) delicious. A great clean eating alternative to your favorite Chinese meal.

Breakfast

Scrambled Eggs, All-Natural Mozzarella and Cucumber Slices

Nothing beats a healthy plate of protein, cheese and vegetables. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Mid Morning Snack

Plantain Chips

Know whats as good as banana chips? Plantain chips!

Crispy, slightly sweet and toasted to golden perfection, these were fantastic for a mid-morning lift.

The brand of plantain chips I recommend is Inka Crops Roasted Plantains, made with all-natural ingredients and no hydrogenated oil. I also like that its made with just a sprinkle of salt to bring out plantains natural sweetness.

Get it at Inka Crops Roasted Plantains.

Lunch

All-Natural Peanut Butter Over Toasted Whole Wheat Artisan Bread, with a Side of Hard Boiled Eggs

Not only does peanut butter taste good, it also provides natural energy. I lift in the afternoons, and love both the protein and carbs peanut butter offers.

Instead of jarred peanut butter, which is full of hydrogenated oil, I get mine from the local grocer who offers freshly-ground peanut butter. Theres no oil, salt or other additives in it--just fresh peanuts finely grounded into creamy, spreadable goodness.

Afternoon Snack

Apple Slices and Carrot Sticks

Keepin it simple.

Dinner

All-Natural Turkey Breast Over Garden Salad

Fresh and crunchy salad topped with natural turkey breast? Looks yummy--and tasted even better!

You can use any dressing you want, but to keep dinner clean, I prefer organic dressing like Organicville Ranch.

Same great taste. Healthier ingredients.

Tuna is rich in omega-3, protein and vitamins, and is great for clean eating.

A tuna melt sandwich is one of my favorite ways to enjoy tuna. Todays tuna melt has quite a saucy kick, with the addition of spicy pepper jack cheese. I liked it a lot, and hope you do too.

Just trying to take the last bit of advantage of plum season. Can you blame me?

Dinner

Today is the first day of my 3rd month on Medi-Weightloss.  In my first two months I accomplished more than I ever thought possible.  Im losing weight consistently every week and over 20 lbs of the 33.5 lbs Ive lost has been FAT.  Thats good news for my overall health and for my wardrobe, which is quickly shrinking.  I even had to get my wedding ring sized from an 8 to a 7!

Overall Im really pleased with the results Ive had so far.  I have to admit there are days when I absolutely HATE everything Im allowed to eat but there are also days when Im just resolved to eat whatever keeps me from being hungry without saying peep.  Lately Ive really been missing pizza.  Im kind of surprised that our local Dominos hasnt filed a missing persons report.  Previously we would have ordered from them a couple of times a week.

My biggest difficulty lately has been sticking to just one serving of fruit/nuts.  I love to snack at night, even when Im not particularly hungry, so those two things are my weak points.  So far though I havent been out of control (eating an entire bag of grapes or an entire can of cashews/almonds like previously) so my weight loss has continued despite my lack of self-control. 

Ive also been getting more exercise this week, although its not for trying.  Yesterday morning I walked from the body shop to my office (about a ten minute walk) after dropping off my husbands car for some work.  And the last two days Ive been putting in at least an hour of file organization at work, which is much more labor intensive than "filing" sounds.  Lots of bending, lifting, and reaching.  Its a little tough on the back but nothing that would put me out of service for other exercise.

Tonight well be working on moving some furniture around in the house so that should help me burn calories too.  And this weekend begins the start of Rhode Islands fishing season.  Thats why the theme change on my page... a celebration of fishing was in order!  Well be out fishing most of the day Saturday and Im going to do my best to remain standing for most of it so that I can burn as many calories as possible.  I probably wont work up a sweat but 5-6 hours of fishing is definitely going to put a dent in my calories for the day.  Wish me luck!  Im looking forward to a nice fresh trout dinner... mmm!
