I have been very strict with what I'm eating and sticking mostly to grilled chicken, fish, and eggs for my protein and kale or spinach as a veggie. I will throw in a protein shake with berries after I workout for some carbs but that is about the extent of it. With all the diet changes I have lost 7 pounds in two weeks (at least that's what it was the last time I weighed myself). I started at approximately 21% body fat and I'm now down to about 17%. Every week I get even more strict and it has been paying off! My coach said that I'm really tightening up which is exactly what I want so I'm on track for my May 5th date!
I was really wanting to make Red Curry from Everyday Paleo but unfortunately I didn't have the ingredients on hand so I improvised and wow, I don't know why I haven't thought of this before! It's awesome! The fish really soaks in the flavors of the curry and they make a great combination. Plus I've stayed true to form and created it with as few ingredients as possible. I made this for myself so it serves one but that is easily changed, just multiply by the number of people you have :)
Ingredients:
- 6-8 oz Wild Cod fillet
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream (from the top of the can)
- 1/2 teaspoon Massaman Thai Curry paste
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 cup chopped veggies (I used frozen fire roasted onions and peppers)
Directions:
- If you are using fresh veggies, chop them then saute in a separate pan and set aside.
- Heat your frying pan to high heat then put your coconut cream in and heat until it is bubbly, stirring frequently.
- Mix in the curry and stir until bubbly and fragrant. Add the fish sauce and give a good stir.
- Place the fish fillet in the sauce along with the veggies, cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the fish is done.
- Voila!
