A Very Tasty Diet

A Very Tasty Diet

The wind was blowing a bit but it kept the temperature just right

We were invited up to friend Joe's house at the lake this week. His wife Sally was out of town and we had told her we would be sure to invite him to our house for lunch whilst she was away so he wouldn't get too lonely.

It turned out a better idea for us to go to him for lunch as he said he was on a new weight reducing diet and would be cooking anyway so we could try the meal.

Now I don't need to diet as I only weigh 120 lbs and have changed very little over the years. Mike occasionally feels overweight but he isn't really and a few days of less bread and potatoes and beer soon help there . So we were interested to see this new diet. Joe said he had researched this diet and so we knew it would be interesting and it certainly was.

Joe had grilled chicken on the BBQ and also long sweet red peppers. I am sure he might have added various spices or herbs. Also he had made a black bean mixture mixed with onions and baked some garlic cloves.Add to that a small salad of mostly lettuce and veggies. Now this is a good diet meal and very,very tasty. Joe explained that this is a meal he will eat six days a week but on the 7^th day you can eat anything you want. He has already lost several pounds and said he felt a lot better.

We ate our meal out on the deck with a warm wind blowing as we sipped a nice white wine and had some great conversation. It was lovely and I am sure we lost weight. I bet the beans help!!

We missed you Sally.

Thanks Joe
