Eating Light


Does this man look like he needs to lose some pounds? Yes, according to him and his doctor. And being a supportive partner, I am happily obliged to create an 'eating light' menu plan for him until the goal is achieved.


Day 1 dinner: tofu lasagna.


Day 2 dinner: leek quiche.


Day 3 dinner: maple roasted chicken breast with roasted tomatoes and braised fennels.


Day 4 dinner: home made thin crust vegetarian pizza. The diet boy said he needed some junk food TODAY! I thought real quick before he made a suggestion of his own. A pizza? Ok! As light a pizza as I can make... Then diet boy wanted a sorbet. Ok, but you finish this nectarine first. This trick WORKED! No more craving for sorbet after.


Day 5 dinner: garlic tamarind prawns, chili tofu, and sauteed spinach. The diet boy started becoming more demanding... Then a little sorbet. Then 1.5 chocolate chip cookies. Oh well. We are going to take a break and hopefully we'll have the motivation to resume this for a few days next week.

It's been fun for me and the diet boy lost 2.5 pounds.

What's wrong with the diet boy's doc??! (I won't ask what's wrong with the diet boy himself as we've known all along he isn't right :-P)
