I want to look at the food on my plate and before I commence eating, it needs to look the right amount. This month is all about having a slightly smaller amount of beef steak on the plate and yet it does look the right amount because it is only a small reduction in size compared to the previous Septnana. After the meal I feel quite alright. What our minds quite easily forget is what the right amount of meat looked like a few years ago, or even that it is twice or three times less than it used to be six years ago.
In the first Septnana’s eating theme it is enough to trim all the fat off the meat. Substitute a bit more meat to cook instead of the fat. Because it is fat in our bodies that we want to lose, eating less of that white fat off the meat will assist the goal. This is a difficult first step for anyone who loves the taste of the fat. Try trimming just some of the fat off to start with. The following year try trimming all the fat off the meat. Each year’s Septnana is all about working on the reduction of the beef steak portion in such a way that our brains will accept the change.
The amount of mushrooms, cauliflower and beans remains the same, very large portions.
