Low GI and tasty shrimp stir fry

My shrimp stir fry is not only a low GI and a low calorie food but also a rather delicious way to a healthy diet.

I eat it at least once a week for lunch, and it has to be my favorite meal. This recipe gives me the satisfaction of eating well without depriving myself of good taste.

Ingredients:

• Fresh green beans

• Carrots

• Bellpeppers

• Onion

• Ginger

• Garlic

• Cabbage

• Broccoli

• Snap peas and shallots

• Peas and corn

• Some shrimps- peeled and deveined

You can omit some of the vegetables listed above and prepare it with whichever you have in the fridge that day.

Preparation:

• Cut the vegetables in chunks.

• Bring some water to boil and add tiny bit of salt.

• Add veggies except for onions, garlic, ginger and peppers and let them cook for a minute.

• Then drain the juice. In 1/4th cup of this, dissolve 1 tsp of cornstarch and keep this aside.

• Heat a teaspoon of oil and lighltly saute shrimps till just pinkish. Set this aside.

• Add another teaspoon of oil and add some chopped ginger and garlic and chunky onion pieces. Saute for a bit and add the peppers.

• Next add the remaining veggies.

• Add soy sauce and hot sauce of your choice and 1/2 teaspoon tomato ketchup. Remember that the soy sauce is high in salt.

• Lastly add a couple of teaspoons of cornstarch.

You are ready to eat!!

*Now I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
