Week Five - Day Two - Fish recipe

I know this post should have been done last night but I just didn't get there.  Found out the Dr. Scott will be in Italy for a couple of weeks and by the time he returns I will be finished with my Repairvite Program and will have finished three days of a water fast.  I will drink nothing except water that has been enhanced with fresh lemons, limes and grade B pure maple syrup.  Sounds exciting doesn't it?  At least I will be finished with the weed water.  More about that as it happens.

My visit yesterday followed the same routine as all the others.  My back is actually feeling better.  It still hurts but I can stand a little longer and the pain isn't quite as severe.  I noticed in the last couple of days I can actually get in and out of my wife's Mazda a little easier.  May things are changing for the better.

Today I as talking with my daughter and realized that at 7:00 PM I had only eaten a turkey patty, an apple, two oranges and about 20 grapes all day.  Vick and I are helping with her kids as her husband is working late.  She was not happy when I realized this and that my calorie intake for the day was about 350. Vick told me to stop and buy a BIG steak my way home.  At first I wasn't going to do it but I could feel my self folding up and decided to do it.  Came home and cooked a nice large steak on the George Foreman. Add carrots, celery, olives and another apple to it and finished the day with about 1150 calories.  I felt much better after dinner except for some reason I am feeling very hungry now.  I have been averaging about 850-1000 calories a day until today.  the Dr. says I should be consuming at least 1500 a day.  We will see because I like as Vick says " I am wasting away to nothing."

This Fridays dinner will be fish again.  Vick wants to have fish at least weekly, if not more often.  Found a great recipe I am going to try:

Chili Rubbed Talapia

Chili Talapia

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 pound talapia fillets
2 Tbsp olive oil


Directions:

Combine chili powder, garlic powder, and salt on a plate.  Dredge fillets in the spice mixture to coat.  Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add fish and cook until just opaque in the center, gently turning halfway, 5-7 minutes total.  Divide between four plates. Serve with vegetables.

This recipe is from July 2012 Eating Well magazine.  I will probably steam some carrots to go with my fish, maybe some broccoli.  If try the broccoli, I think Vick and Cath will die.  We will see.
