Phase 2 recipe

Serve these two recipes together for a tasty meal or mix and match them with other recipes to create a new dish! This recipe is designed for phase 2 but can be adjusted for phase 3.

Grilled Skirt Steak/Flank Steak

100 grams or 3.5 oz of Skirt Steak

Seasoning salt/other spices

Dry the meat very well before grilling (to get a nice brown crust) and because the steak is relatively thin, you’ll need to cook it uncovered and over very high heat. A couple of minutes per side should be sufficient for medium rare.

Roasted Asparagus

8-10 Stalks asparagus spears

1/2 Red onion, thinly sliced

1 Tbs MCT oil ( if you have it) this replaces Olive Oil

Fresh garlic

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of one lemon

Preheat oven to 500* Snap off tough cut ends of asparagus. Place asparagus on a foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle with MTC oil , garlic and spices. Toss gently. Add red onions on top for a bit more flavor and squeeze desired amount of lemon juice. Bake for 8-12 minutes ( larger stalks take longer) or until roasted.

You may periodically struggle with hunger, however most people do not. Some people experience hunger in the beginning that is most likely a result of not properly loading. Most who load properly never struggle with hunger.

If you are hungry then increase your water or tea. Your body will confuse dehydration for hunger so drinking liquids usually solves the issue. Adding caffeine (i.e. coffee and caffeinated teas) will cause a dehydration effect, so always follow up with water. Don’t forget to drink at least 2 liters daily and more if you have caffeinated beverages. You need to drink 8oz of water for every caffeinated drink in addition to your normal 8 glasses a day.

If you struggle to get your water in, try doing flavored Stevia drops in water. Many comment on how good it is and how much easier it is to get water down. Try different flavors such as Lemon, Peppermint, Vanilla Cream, Orange and many more flavors are available. You can find these at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and even grocery stores. Drink in hot or cold water. So, if you are feeling a little hungry try these tips. It is key to drink a lot of water and tea and it will help you will feel full and satisfied in no time!
