In my ongoing quest to find out just how our new diet is affecting our bodies, I have concluded that I may well have been experiencing withdrawal symptoms from not eating the ‘naughty’ foods. It seems my symptoms have taken a little longer to manifest themselves when compared with the data uncovered by I Pad One, but for the moment I am content to trust this recent finding.
Man. You can find so much wrong with all that naughty food stuff out there that you may very well wonder how on earth we’ve survived all these years. Not eating it is either the ultimate cure of the millennium or the biggest scam out there for the veggie people to make their billions and run.
I actually choose to go with the millennium thing.
I am going to look into supplements, however, as I do think that when you start messing around with your diet it may well take some time to get to the point where you’re eating as well as you could be. I don’t know, I kind of think that supplements shouldn’t be necessary, but, perhaps at first it might be a good idea.
So, to last night’s dinner.
If you remember, this is what we were going to have.
Blackened Catfish Sandwiches – Cooking Light
But, due to the elimination of all the bad stuff, this is what we ended up having.
It doesn’t look quite as appetizing, but it was the best I could do – what with the withdrawal symptoms an’ all …
I spread some horseradish mustard over the mahi-mahi and some paprika and cooked it in coconut oil.
Then, I stir fried (bear with me as I try to remember, it was all a haze of excitement at the time), garlic, ginger, red onion, courgette, kohlrabi, white cabbage, mushrooms, some of those red, what ever the h*** that green vegetable was, stems, chopped up with some spinach stems because you know there just has to be some good nutrients in something as red as that. And then, at the end when those were done cooking, I added the green part of that obscure leafy plant so that it just wilted a bit.
I put this onto a bed of raw spinach with a little raw cabbage and placed the fish on top.
It was just O.K. Not bad, but not wow either. Probably wont’ have it again, although, to be honest, the green plant wasn’t too bad. I tasted it raw first, and it definitely tasted like chewed up grass, but cooked, it wasn’t so bad. Not great, not anything really. Rather bleh, but not disgusting. The fish was good though, but next time I will probably steam or bake it as the whole cooking in coconut oil thing looks to me like I’m cooking in lard and I can’t get that connection out of my head right now.
And, talking of coconuts …
Look at the scum on this.
Tea with Coconut Milk
Now, be honest. Would you drink that?
Well I have to because otherwise I’d go completely nuts as my one true joy has been taken from me. Who knows what could happen. I might have to go on a rampage and run naked through the neighbourhood demanding justice for tea drinkers everywhere.
NOT a pretty sight people.
Let’s just hope this scummy excuse for a drink sustains me through the next two weeks before all hell lets loose …
