Shrimp And Greek Salad For Your Wheat Belly

Okay, if you've been following my progress on Dr. William Davis' "Wheat Belly" program, I weighed 199 today!  No more wheat (or grains of any kind) or sugar!

Tonight I pulled out an, almost forgotten, opened package of frozen shrimp.  I thought it might not be good, since it looked a little freezer burned, but turns out it was perfect!

While my wife sliced and diced making the cucumber, onion, tomato, Kalamata olive, and feta cheese salad (see this post for dressing), I got a pan of real "Amish" butter, minced garlic, and a splash of "Ring Of Fire" hot sauce heating on the stove.  After only rinsing the frozen shrimp off, I popped them into the hot mixture and began flipping them at intervals.  After some of the liquid boiled off, I sprinkled sea salt over the shrimp.

It only took about 10 to 12 minutes and the shrimp I tested was awesome!  I put the shrimps around the salad plate my wife had fixed and we sat down to a delicious meal.

I can't think of a think that is not allowed on the Wheat Belly program, so I feel certain I'm on my way to losing a few more pounds.

I never end a meal feeling bloated and I'm still off my metformin, and still down to half a blood pressure pill.  I'm hoping in another week I can stop it all together.  Next, I'll have to have my cholesterol checked...I may stop that medicine soon, as well!

Salmon With Greek Salad For Wheat Bellies

So, I'm still eating according to "Wheat Belly" rules, but experimenting some too.

Tonight my wife prepared a "Greek Salad" according to our daughter's recipe.  She and her husband lived in Crete for over a year and that's where she fell in love with this type salad.

She cut up some cucumber, green onions, cherry tomatoes, and added a helping of Kalamata olives, and a handful of feta cheese.  Over the mixture she sprinkled some apple-cider vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil.  It alone was delicious.

I had bought two small salmon slices in the frozen section at the store, so according to directions I cooked them un-thawed for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.

I put a slab each on the side of the salad plates and we dug in!  Awesome!

The taste combination was just what I had wanted when I planned the meal.

I'm loving the weight falling off, and the new adventure in taste we get with the dishes we are preparing.  You'll love it too!

Jump in "cold turkey" and free yourself of that "grain" and "sugar" addiction today.
