Adapted from:
Eating for Life by Bill Phillips

Description:
Broiled tenggirri slathered with tangy peppery sauce~

Ingredients:
260 g Tengirri fillets
2 tbsp Miracle Whip / mayonnaise
1 tsp pepper
Juice of 1 lemon

Directions:
1) Combine miracle whip, pepper and lemon juice together.
2) Marinate the fillets in the sauce and leave in the fridge for half an hour.
3) Bake the fillets in pre-heated oven at 200 deg for 10 - 12 min, or till the fillets can be flaked easily with a fork.

Remarks:
The lemon sauce was too sour for my liking, but still quite acceptable. The preparation was indeed fast and required minimal cleanup.

As for the source Eating for life, I find it an easy read. The author shares his approach to eating right, along with exercise, to help one manage the body's energy levels and fat, and this is done through a way as though he is speaking directly to you (albeit long-winded).

I wouldn't talk so much about it for now though, as I'm feeling languid again.. But maybe I'll touch on some pertinent points which I find intriguing, if the inspiration to write comes knocking on my door.

Here's a short excerpt from one of the chapters, "The Eating Right Recipe":
"... There's more... a scientific study reported in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that eating "compact", balanced, nutritious meals every two or three hours throughout the day increases your metabolism, allowing you to burn more fat. When you daily food intake is eaten in a small number of large meals, there is an increased chance to become overweight.

Yet another study revealed that eating often helps your blood sugar and insulin levels stay strong and steady. When insulin level spike, fat storage starts, blood sugar drops and energy levels plummet. Six meals per day do away with the highs and lows of blood sugar and insulin, as demonstrated in a recent study which clearly shows blood sugar remains much more constant and insulin levels stayed much lower in the six-meal-a-day group than in the two-meal group. That's good.

I could go on and on. Another study published in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders found that when you eat frequent meals throughout the day, it helps control the appetite.

Again, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that people are most successful at losing fat and keeping it off when they eat numerous meals throughout the day.

Had enough?

I have!

The bottom line is, when you eat every few hours, when you work with your body instead of against it, you'll not only look better but I'm certain you'll just flat out feel better too.. a lot better.

So there you have it- the Right Recipe. What it really all boils down to is this: When you eat the right foods, in the right amounts, in the right combos, at the right times, you simply cannot go wrong!

Got it?

Good!"

Good! :)
