Was looking around for some recipes of something to make and make a lot of it that I could use for paleo time.
Found this recipe for Zucchini Frittata on recipezaar.com
Obviously, you're going to want to forgo the sea-salt in favor of something else or just go really light on it if you're in that gotta have it or my mind will blow mode that can be indulged on occasion.
SERVES 8
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat oil in skillet and cook minced onion and garlic slowly in it 10 minutes. Add zucchini cut into thin slices. Add peeled and cut-up tomato, seasoning, and herbs. Cover, and cook until vegetable is tender. Take from stove and cool.
- Beat eggs lightly, season, and mix with cooled vegetables. Pour back into skillet, cover tightly and cook over a slow fire until the edges of the frittata pull away from the pan. If the middle puffs up, prick it with a long sharp knife
- When it is solid, brown lightly under a slow broiler flame in a preheated oven, cut in slices like a pie, and serve at once.”.

So far so good. Got away from weighing and measuring the past two days but -- that happens. S'ok. Once you know what 4 oz meat is, you know what 4 oz of meat is. Last night it was steak for me. I took it out, rubbed down with some canola oil and fresh ground pepper and let it warm up a bit, heated up a pan and pan fried it. Served it up with sauteed mushrooms and steamed broccoli.
It's a big steak. Guess what's for dinner / late lunch?

So, it's day 4 officially -- for some of you day 5 if you went to the pre-challenge party or otherwise spent the weekend indulging. I did. My last act was to go into Cold Stone Creamery and get me a ginormous order of Oreo Overload. For others it's been a bit longer.
What was your "last act"? How are you feeling now? When did you start?
Post thoughts and meal summaries / links to share etc to comments.
Quick follow up for those of you out there that are seeking some understanding of all of this vs plain compliance -- Lorne S. was kind enough to provide this link and quick commentary about glycemic index and glycemic load:
"The GI describes the ability of specific carbohydrate-rich foods to increase the concentration of glucose in the blood. The GI of a food is calculated as the incremental area under the blood glucose response curve for the food relative to the incremental area under the blood glucose response curve for a reference food (glucose or white bread is recommended), which is set to be 100. The glycemic load (GL) describes the overall glycemic effect of a specified amount of a food item. It is calculated as the product of the GI and the carbohydrate amount (in grams) of the food item divided by 100." Hare-Bruun H et al, Should glycemic index and glycemic load be considered in dietary recommendations? Nutrition Reviews 66(10):569-590, 2008.
By these definitions you can clearly see why using the GL vs GI may be more beneficial for your guy's use in this Zone/Paleo thing. I also included a link to the website, I mentioned to you last night, that nicely lists the GI's and GL's for many food stuffs. He also describes how the GI and GL are used with respect to a foods relative values. http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
