a couple of weeks ago I discovered this great healthy eating plan names Diet Solution Program, the whole idea is to eliminate processed foods and eat loads of delicious fresh, natural and organic foods that will nourish you and keep you healthy allowing your body to slowly get into the correct weight.

this recipe is just a sample of a great meal that was well within the DSP and still is the kind of thing I would've cooked on a lazy Saturday morning which was the case today.

One thing has to be said, this is no miracle solution, I'm finding relatively easy but have gradually started cutting down on processed foods months ago but I see on the website - they have a really good community as a support tool - that some people struggle a bit, mostly when they went from being junk food addicts to a brand new super healthy life style.

I will be talking a bit more about the philosophy behind this program but for now I leave you with this very simple but super healthy recipe:

OMELET (lactose free by the way, I think for the first time in my life i am eating omelets without lashes of cheese)

2 eggs

1 rash of bacon (make it organic and without Nitrate)

1/2 cup of peppers

1/2 cup of spinach

3 olives

1 shallot

2tsp of butter

salt, pepper and dried chives for seasoning.

beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.reserve

put the butter into a cold frying pan (I actually use a wok because mine is non stick) and add the chopped shallots, its important that the pan is cold at the beginning at this will allow the butter to heat up slowly.

do not let the butter go brown, put the shallots to the side and pour in the eggs. add all the other ingredients and then turn the omelet. that is it! read and delicious!!!

I am on a gluten, lactose and grain free week and that is why there was no cheese and I did not serve it with bread.

note: the first 2 weeks you can choose to go gluten and lactose free, this is basically to give me a kick start and after loosing 800g in 5 days I have to say it's working!

I will be back with more details about the ideas behind the program and loads more great recipes!!!

 

egg sandwich and lots of flavor!!!

I usually take a packed lunch to work and as much as I try my best keeping it healthy and full of nutritiousness bits and bobs every now and then I just wish I could wipe up a simple sarnie and pop it in my lunch box (so to speak as I actually bring my lunch to work i my handbag). Thinking of it AND the fact that I am a sucker for hard boiled eggs I decided to put a twist on the good old egg mayonnaise sandwich.

1 hardboiled egg (I only cook mine for about 8 minutes as I like it slightly runny)
2 tsp creme fraiche
1 spring onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 slice of ham cut into small bits (for a vegetarian option you can use pointy peppers as they are nice and sweet)

a hand full of chopped watercress
2 slices of toasted brown bread (I really like the nibble bread from hovis, it's little and with a really nice nutty flavor)

pass the egg trough the egg slicer and mash it up with a fork, in a bowl mix in the mustard, creme fraiche, spring onion and watercress. Crack some black pepper into it and a pinch of salt if you use it (I don't). spread the mix into a slice of cooled toasted brown bread and enjoy it!!!

very very simple but incredibly creamy and (if like my you enjoy your egg) really yummy!!!
simple, easy and if using the Hovis' nibbles it won't even have 250calories!!!
