Back on Track

After yesterday's not terribly surprising weight gain, I made a conscious effort to stick to primal food.  I was hoping that would get me back on track with my weight loss. My hopes were realised this morning, when I found that my weight was back down to 108.1kg, with 28.9% body fat.

Last night's meal was an interesting experiment in quick, easy and tasty food.  Not having a heap of time between getting home and having to go back out again, I decided to throw together a quick veggie stir fry.  In a departure from my normal method of stir fry making, I didn't bother with a packet sauce mix, and opted to make my own.

The veggies I threw in were spinach, capsicum, onion, tomato, carrot, broccoli, cauliflower, broccolini, and some mushrooms for good measure.  The sauce consisted of some beef stock, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, curry powder, cumin, garlic and ginger.  I started by frying the onion, garlic and some of the cumin in coconut oil.  I then threw in the harder vegetables, along with the vinegar, soy sauce, curry powder, ginger and honey.

After cooking the harder vegetables for a minute or two, I threw in the softer vegetables, along with approximately 1 cup of beef stock.    I then let everything cook for another couple of minutes, so that everything was hot, but not over cooked.  Unfortunately, I didn't bother to keep track of exact measurements, so trying to make a repeat of this particular stir fry is not going to be easy.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the stir fry actually turned out.  I was a little concerned at the lack of meat, but in the end it wasn't necessary.  I'm now looking forward to heating some up for a quick, healthy tea tonight.
