About three months ago I seen my family doctor and my sugar was up a bit so he wanted me to watch what I eat and try to lose a few pounds. Losing weight is hard enough but if your working with just a right leg it's a bit tougher. Being an left leg amputee I just get the normal exercise as a normal person. I'm a notorious snacker, nothing large but a pinch here and a bite there and it all adds up. So I've been snacking on Apples and Grapes and another change I made was cutting back on Breads, and I am Bread lover!! I take that after my Uncle who was huge Bread lover. Anyway I've started using Joseph's Pita Bread with Whole Grain and Flax Seed in place of Bread where I can. The adjustments seem to be working I've lost almost 15 pounds, I think the Doc will be pleased next week when I go for my check-up! For dinner tonight Fried Yellow Lake Perch Fillets w/ Whole Grain Brown Rice and Green Beans.
I picked up the Yellow Lake Perch at Meijer yesterday, on sale. I rinsed the fillets in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. Seasoned them with a bit of Sea Salt and rolled them in Zatarain's Lemon Pepper Breading Mix. Fried them in Canola Oil about 3 minutes per side.Came out a perfect golden brown and delicious! As usual I live on Fish!
For side dishes I microwaved a bag of Uncle Ben's Whole Grain Brown Rice, almost always my brand of preferred Rice! I also heated up a can of Del Monte Green Beans. For dessert later, all fruit tonight a Dole Mini Banana and a couple of Apple Slices.
