MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY DAY 8 THE NIGERIAN WAY

My first meal of the day was eaten at noon AGAIN. Boiled rice with peppered vegetable sauce and an egg. An hour later, I snacked on three garden eggs (Eggplants).

I cleared the plate.
For dinner at 4pm, it was roasted fairly ripe plantain with roasted groundnuts, avocado pear and one boiled egg.

INGREDIENTS FOR PEPPERED VEGETABLE SAUCE:

1 cup shredded chicken
One medium-sized onion
1/2 cup soya oil
1 cup shredded carrots
One spring onion
1 seasoning cube (Stock cube)
Salt to taste
1 cup water or more if needed
4 tablespoons pepper sauce (About 10 scotch bonnet peppers)
2 teaspoons baking flour
1 cup shredded cabbage

COOKING PROCEDURE:

1. Heat the oil in a pan till hot, add the onion, pepper and seasoning cube. Stir for about 30 seconds.
2. Add the washed shredded chicken and spring onion, stir and leave for about 2 minutes
3. Add the cabbage, carrots, water and check for salt. Add if needed.
4. Mix the flour with water into a light paste in a bowl and add to cooking, stir very well, leave for about 20 seconds, check if it’s thick enough, check for taste.
5. Remove from heat and serve. This is very very spicy, I mean real HOT. You can use more fresh pepper cause the hotness makes it taste even better.

DINNER

I prefer my boiled eggs a bit runny, don’t like hard-boiled eggs that much. Much later, around 7 pm I took a piece of watermelon. Let’s see if the weight will drop or rise by tomorrow.

It actually did drop from 82.3 kg yesterday to 81.8 kg today. I’m super excited.

Wish me luck!
