First week success

Today is day 7 for me and I am pleased to say I have lost 5lbs and I feel great. I have found it pretty easy as for me I only had to drop pasta / potatoes / all wheat based stuff, I never really liked bread so no loss there. I have not been this light in a decade!

I am going to try and cook as much using fire as possible just because meat tastes so much better. I only managed once this week but I will go out hunter gathering and get some wood stock.

Trying to remember what i have eaten:

• steak bbq with a huge salad
• pork chop roast with veg no potatoes
• sweet potato, leek and lime soup
• same soup above with sausages and sweet corn
• home made beef burgers with king prawns and a selection of veg
• chilli con carne with red peppers served with broccoli
• same chilli served with a selection of leaves and cherry tomatoes

Recipe: Sweet potato leek and lime soup

Ingredients:

• sweet potato x 2
• leek chopped
• lime
• home made vegetable stock  (I make mine from veg scraps and chopped mushrooms)
• 1/2 tin coconut milk

Technique:

• soften leeks and chopped garlic by frying 
• add chopped sweet potato
• add vegetable stock
• bring to the boil and then simmer until everything is soft
• blend until smooth
• zest the lime and add that to the soup
• add the coconut milk (stir to mix)
• crush the lime to get the juice add to the soup

Enjoy!
