Well we've made it to day 5 of the Clean & Lean diet. How are we feeling? Not quite full of energy as hoped but I think we've both lost a bit of weight our sugar cravings are now subsiding. We did, however, treat ourselves to a bit of dark chocolate today which tasted phenomenal.
Tonight's dinner was surprisingly easy and tasty. We did modify the recipe from James Duigan's Clean & Lean Cook Book as it called for 1.25 cups of feta cheese! OK, we get some fat is good for us but just couldn't justify that much of it. We also cut back on the seeds too as we'd snacked on them throughout the day. We have to confess that since our butternut squash was quite small we gobbled down the whole meal which was supposedly for four....
Ingredients
1 butternut squash, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 teaspoon of chili flakes
1 large handful of broccoli
1 handful of seeds
Feta, salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Toss the butternut wedges in the oil, cumin seeds and chili flakes. Place in an oven pre-heated to 200c for 35-45 minutes.
- Boil the broccoli until al dente, about five minutes, and then add to the roasting dish with the butternut.
- Add the seeds, feta and season. Serve immediately.
