A So-So Dinner

Last night’s dinner (Pomegranate Chicken) was a decent adventure into the use of pomegranate as a seasoning/marinade.  I did enjoy it, but not as much as the salmon or the grilled sirloin.  Oh well, I did take a picture though (as usual it looks awesome).

The Fat Resistance Diet: Day 1 Complete

I promised I’d do updates for this as often as possible, so here’s one to recap my thoughts on the first day.  This diet is quite possibly the most delicious diet I’ve ever seen.  For dinner I had Green Tea Crusted Salmon with Lemon Ginger Salsa and Baby Spinach Salad with Apples and Roasted Walnuts and a Pomegranate Lime dressing.  Most of the things I’ve just listed, are items I do not eat, because I believed I did not like them.  I’m wondering if I’ve just been fooling myself all this time…

A New Diet

In looking for a good accompaniment to the P90X program (which I will be starting again on June 22nd), I found some talk of something called the “Fat Resistance Diet.”  I have had chronic respiratory problems for the past two years and haven’t ever really found an answer.  Several people claimed though that this diet, created by Dr. Leo Galland, went a long way to resolve things similar to my problem.  The book doesn’t cost much, so I decided to order it and give things a try.  I am not really trying to lose weight, though I wouldn’t be hurt if I did lose a few pounds.  The interesting thing about this diet seems to be that it approaches weight loss from a different direction, so instead of counting calories I’m eating some pretty sweet meals.  So far, I’ve had my first breakfast and am sufficiently impressed with the dish.  It is called “Tuscan Frittata” and has egg whites, basil, tomatoes and minced garlic on top of a bed of baby spinach.  Here’s a picture, though I don’t think it does it justice…

As usual, I’ll keep you posted as I go through the diet (and I’ll keep trying to get pictures of what I’m eating as it appears they’re all going to be amazing).
