Majestik Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hey y'all, I haven't completely fallen off the planet. I'm still adjusting to a new diet and trying to find ways to fit some Q into it. In this case, if was a complete, delicious success... a little Tandoori chicken with Curried Peas & Tofu and Black Lentil curry. Yum! And before you gag on the tofu... it's really in there as a contrast to the spice and works well for that purpose. Hehe. Marinating (without food coloring) Hot n spicy curry Dinner is served!

Curly Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 So what's up with the new diet? The doc give you an ultimatum or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 So what's up with the new diet? The doc give you an ultimatum or something? Yeah, pretty much! I got a thorough talking to by my doctor... oh, a year or so ago. And since I'm not interested in experiencing Type 2 Diabetes first hand and want to see my kids grow up, I decided to take action. I think the epiphany came one night when I was eating a tray of oreos while watching "Biggest Loser". Hehe. Irony. The diet is amazing and easy and working... 40lbs down since October. Wish I could say I was halfway there. Almost, anyway. But it's easy and I am eating very well indeed. Just need to get more Q'ing into the diet.

Hey man, I'll bet there are plenty a people on that same diet that say it's impossible and it ain't working...so pat yourself on the back But you may need to step away from the forums (again) lest you backslide badly from the food porn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeadDog Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I love Indian Food. You will need to share how you cook any Indian Food in the KK. I have been thinking about doing the Tandoori Chicken without the food coloring also. If you can eat Naan then check out how I made it in the bread section.

Turtle Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Great looking food! Thanks for the pics. I too love the indian flavors. Now I have a new item on my to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 If you can eat Naan then check out how I made it in the bread section. Actually I did snag your recipe... just have to convert it to 100% whole wheat, NF milk, and reduce/eliminate the sugar and I think it'll work out aight.

DavidS Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 That makes at least 3 of us. Great thing about Q is most of the grease is cooked out. Type 2 for six years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Very cool Porkchop, congratulations! I recently found an old spreadsheet I kept from when I did Atkins back in 1999/2000. I am currently at my lowest weight since then and also the lowest weight I ever achieved on that diet. Trouble with that for me was that if you go off it, you're... um, dooomed. hehe. The new diet (the YOU diet) is much much easier for me. It's essentially just eating whole grains, fruits, nuts, veges, and lean meats. Eliminating refined sugars/flours and replacing saturated with unsaturated fats. Veddy simple, veddy easy. For fun you might wanna try the questionaire at www.realage.com. Just a series of questions about diet, exercise, and lifestyle that calculates your "real" age versus your physical age. Amusing, if not wholly scientific. So now I'm eating chicken/fish quite often, red meat only occasionally. It's not eliminated, just reduced. It's really a freakish diet for me because one of the things is to snack between meals... so you're eating like 6 times a day... I literally feel like I'm always eating and I'm never particulary hungry for any meal... and yet the weight just falls off. I say this now of course... check back with me in 6-12 months. hehe. But dang... so far so good. I'm going to need a new wardrobe. Sure feels great, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchop Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 well, i have my off days. more than anything i just monitor my blood sugar levels and stay away from carbs. i don't really eat b/t meals just cause its more of a pain for me than anything. i'm also hypothyroid; the whole "metabolic syndrome" enchilada. so, some days the ol' thyroid does some funky stuff, or the blood sugar starts doing weird stuff. you just gotta weather it, can't really predict it. but my clothes are looser, my blood pressure is low, my cholesterol is low and i can eat all the pork i like! oh, and kidneys are doing fine, too.
