A true meal!

So, I've been reading the Cortisol Connection Diet which is basically a common sense sort of non-diet for people with wacky blood sugar (or cortisol levels, but I guess they're related). I figured I was already doing everything (eating 10 times a day or so, lots of protein and fat and vegetables, etc) BUT it turns out, I was never ever eating a MEAL, which by the book's definition consists of a vegetable, starch, fat, and protein. Well, I know we've all been learning this since second grade, but somehow, it just didn't sink in. I was thinking as long as I had all of those things within a day that it wouldn't matter if I ate them all separately. Not so, according to this method. Better to have it together and eat SNACKS in between. A "snack" is defined as a fruit or vegetable and fat. The idea is to eat three whole meals a day, plus three snacks , which allows you to eat every two to three hours. Being someone who cooks a lot, you'd think coming up with a meal with all of these components wouldn't be that difficult. But, when I said I was posting my dinners on my blog, I meant I was posting my dinners. Not a part of my dinner. Not the main component of my dinner. But the entire dinner. And I did. So you can see that I haven't been doing a very good job. However, I conquered tonight and it was delicious to boot!




Halibut cooked in a cast iron skillet with olive oil, butter, garlic and lemon.
Some sort of turnip or radish with it's greens (the sign was in Korean)
Quinoa (cooked the same way as rice)

Merci my faithful Martin readers :) I forgot to mention...this very same fish was also being sold as sashimi. Sushi-grade halibut for $17 a pound. God bless Korea town.

Hey it looks like you might be getting more comment spam? You can prevent a lot of that by turning on the word verification thing - maybe you have it turned off to make commenting easier for us American monoglots. Anyway it's here fyi: Settings>Comments>Show word verification for comments
Of course all of that may be in Français.

Thank you! I was wondering how to get rid of that. I'd never been to settings before (notice this nifty new pop up window.)
