One Dinner For Two

This is a quick little post before I go crash somewhere, bed or couch, haven’t decided yet.

Breakfast was a bowl of peanut butter and jelly oatmeal. 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup milk, 1 T peanut/almond/cashew butter, 1 T all fruit jelly, 1/4 serving granola. about 400 calories

Lunch was a wrap: one slice deli turkey, one slice cheese, a bit of hummus and vegetables. A side salad with dressing and a handful of veggie chips. About 400 calories.

Dinner came around 7:30pm, both of us starving. We decided to share the chicken fajita dinner. I think I could have eaten 1/4 of this meal to be honest. I also had 12 chips with salas. 800 calories

Total calories: 1,600

I’ll be back tomorrow with a bit more energy.

My Quick, Healthy, Cheap, Delicious Dinner

Here’s the thing, I live in what most people would call “the middle of nowhere” and by that I mean, we do not have any food delivery service in our town. Which isn’t a bad thing. And truth be told, I’m kinda secretly glad. Mostly.

Here’s the other thing. I love to cook, but I’m also a human being living in modern times and sometimes I just downright don’t want to cook. So my solution is a handful of go-to dinners for days when I’m not feeling the extra time spent in the kitchen. I also like that this dinner is cheap. About $1.75 a serving. Which I will happily throw in the face of anyone who says it’s too expensive to eat a healthy meal. You just cannot get an organic, filling, delicious meal for $1.75 anywhere. Trust me, I’ve looked. And on top of that- one serving is just shy of 300 calories.

Here’s what you do…

chop up an onion and place it in your skillet with about a teaspoon of olive oil. sauté with a little salt until tender. *bonus points: I usually chop up several onions at a time and keep them in the refrigerator.

Rinse a can of organic lentils.

Add lentils to onions and cook for about 3 or 4 minutes.

Pour the jar of jalfrezi sauce in. I’ve seen this brand at kroger and food lion and highly recommend it. It’s the best Indian sauce in a jar I’ve ever had. Don’t be scared by the word “hot” on the label. I assure you, this dish is not hot. Also, I add about 1/4 cup of water to the jar, put the lid back on and shake. I pour this into the pan with everything else. And sometimes when I’m feeling really crazy I’ll add about 1/4 cup coconut milk to make it extra delicious! Simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Serve over organic basmati rice. *Bonus points: I make extra batches of rice in my rice cooker and store in the refrigerator for future use.

Enjoy!

Is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet Right For You?

The Fat Loss 4 Idiots is an online fat and weight loss program. It is a safe and all-natural diet program that functions on the theory of calorie shifting. The theory of calorie shifting states that you need to take a varied collection of carbohydrates-rich foods in order to boost your body’s rate of metabolism. The theory asserts that the body is not able to determine the amount and kind of food that you will ingest in the succeeding days. As such, your body essentially burns off calories based only on your recent eating patterns. The theory hypothesizes that by not taking in the same kinds of calorie-rich foods each and every day, the body’s metabolic rate is intensified. Thus, the body will be able to burn off calories and, subsequently, fat tissues quicker.
The Fat Loss 4 Idiots program also preaches 10 rules essential to fat and weight loss. These are:
1. management of calorie intake
2. intake of four meals each day, with around 2 ½ hours interval between meals
3. preparation of own meals at home
4. rotation between protein and carbohydrates-rich meals
5. limiting use of condiments and eating meals as plain as possible
6. intake of six to eight eight-ounce glasses of water everyday
7. knowing when to stop eating
8. taking in only particular drinks
9. avoidance of sweets and snacks; and
10. getting out regularly for a walk as a means of exercise.
Fat Loss 4 Idiots is all natural and safe. It does not require you to take pills and dietary supplements. However, is this the fat and weight loss plan that is exactly right for you? If you are overweight, which means you are heavier by five to 30% than your normal weight, which in turn is ten to 20% heavier than the ideal weight for your height and weight, then it is definitely high time for you to fight impending obesity.
The Fat Loss 4 Idiots program will work for you because of a handful of reasons. Firstly, at only $39 dollars ($20 for the Diet Generator and $19 for the Diet Handbook) it is one of the cheapest in the internet. What’ more, it actually has a money-back guarantee. Secondly, this fat and weight loss program features instructions that are considerably easy to follow. The diet menu consists of dishes that are easy to cook, which you will particularly find a relief since you will be cooking all your meals at home. Even the ingredients for the dishes in the diet menu are easy to find and there is no need to buy pre-packaged food and expensive dietary supplements. Thirdly, the focus of this fat and weight loss program is on meal plan and reasonable exercise for beginners. You are encouraged to take regular walks and to perform other low-intensity exercises for at least 30 minutes everyday.
However, this program may also not work for you. If you are the type who is an exercise buff, say, you perform exercises for an hour or more a day, you will find that the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program does not contain sufficient amount of calories. Also, the program tends to become dreary and repetitive, largely due to the fact that you have to stick to the menu plan that has been laid out for you.
It is worth noting, though, that there seems to be more positive points going for the Fat Loss 4 Idiots program than negative ones. Thus, this is definitely a fat and weight loss program that is worth trying.
