Day 22

Another day down and another pound gone! Work is very busy this week so I've had to make sure to remind myself to take the drops and drink water and even eat. Still feeling a bit bloated, which isn't helping but both cycles will be over soon and I'll have my final results. Tonight for dinner I made a recipe called Sweet & Sour Chicken with steamed broccoli and it was good.  I even made enough to share with my sweetie for dinner and he said it was good too. Although he did ask where the rice was? :) It was pretty simple and definitely a change up.

Sweet & Sour Chicken

3 -1/2 ounces of Chicken Breast cut into bite size pieces

1 cup of Water

Zest of a small Lemon

Zest of a small Orange

1 tbs of BRAGGS Aminos

1-2 tbs of Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tbs dried Minced Onion

1/8 tsp Garlic powder

1/8 tsp of Onion powder

Cayenne, Chili Flakes or an allowed Hot Sauce to taste.

Pepper to taste

Stevia to taste

1. Brown the chicken and cook until almost done.

2. Add in the water, zest, aminos, half the vinegar and all seasonings. Let it cook on med to med-high to allow the liquid to reduce. 

3. Taste the sauce at this point, if it needs more sour add the rest of the vinegar and if it needs more sweet add some stevia - but just a little at a time while tasting.

4. Cook until the liquid is reduced to your preference and toss in your steamed broccoli. (It will never become that sticky sauce we all know, but it is a good substitute in my opinion.)
