What did you have for dinner?



I've noticed that very few people appear to be talking recipes or food at Fitbitch.In my experience, that usually means you are not following the eating plan. That is fine - I'm not here to be a diet Nazi. But if you are hoping to lose weight, don't fall into the trap of thinking that simply exercising will do it all.
Those who have had success in the past camps have got into the eating plan - and have realised it's not a depressing diet.
To prove it, here's one of the dinners I have enjoyed this week that is part of the eating plan, although subsitute the mackerel for white fish such as gilthead bream,sea bass etc, if you're level one.

Grilled mackerel with tomato, orange, asparagus spears herby salad

Squeeze fresh lemon over a entire fish that has been gutted. Season and wrap in foil and pop in oven.
to make the salad blanch fresh aspragus in boiling water and add to mixed cherry tomatoes, 1/2 sliced orange, handfuls of fresh mint and basil. Squeeze with lemon juice.
When fish is nearly cooked, pop under hot grill to brown skin. Serve, using the juices over salad.
