Butt Bra

My friend Lisa took me out on a nice walk today.  I decided to run back, because I needed to pee really badly from drinking all the cranberry water.  I haven't run in a while, so I was anticipating cramps in my side, shortness of breath, and all that goes with deconditioning.  As I whizzed past all the public restrooms (not really), I noticed that my only ailment was a nagging ache in my cheeks from all the bouncing!  This has never happened before.  I wonder if it happens to anyone else.  Will there be a market for butt bra if I design it?

Onward with the fat flush.  A lot of cranberry water, lean protein atop fresh greens that are dressed with flax seed oil and lemon juice.   Two fruit snacks  a day.  

It turns out that not all vegetables are allowed for freestyle grazing: only one carrot per day.  Thankfully, I found the biggest carrot in LA, growing in my Dad's vegetable garden.  

Salmon is the king of omega-3 fatty acids, so that's what we'll eat tonight.  We will each eat 4 oz, cooked, on top of braised spinach.

12 oz salmon (more, if including the kids)

juice of half lemon

zest of one lemon

very small pinch of salt (fat flush recommends no salt)

very small pinch cayenne (no chiles on fat flush; cayenne is ok)

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 shallot or 1/4 onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 bunch spinach, washed and roughly chopped

juice of half lemon

1 tablespoon flax seed oil (1/2 tablespoon for each diner)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (if not using a broiler).  Place the fish filet on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil and sprinkle with lemon juice, lemon zest and seasoning.  Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or broil.

Meanwhile, heat a saucepan that is fitted with a lid over medium heat.  Add a teaspoon of olive oil and shallot (or onion) and garlic, and cook for one minute.  Add the wet spinach leaves, stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes, until wilted.  Remove from heat and toss with lemon juice and flax seed oil just before serving.
