french scallops

April 17th, 2008

You possibly will not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes french scallops but it is feasible. It is fundamental to not eat french scallops or other high calorie seafood every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself these kinds of food once per week. I eat a healthy diet 6 days a week, say 1400 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise plan or taken any supplements or diet food. I have only been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

On my one day off per week, I prefer to eat french food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating french meals but am very pleased to see it can happen. If you want to try some french food, I propose you make french scallops which is one of my most adored french recipes.

French Scallops

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
3/4 to 1 pound scallops
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

Mix together four, salt and pepper. Coat scallops with flour mixture. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add scallops and cook mixture 4 to 5 minutes, turning over in pan until scallops are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon. Keep warm. Lower heat. Add butter. When melted, add garlic and cook over low heat for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Cook until golden brown. Pour over scallops. Sprinkle with parsley.

Yields 3 to 4 servings.

You can adjust the recipe to make it a little healthier or with less calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It was successful for me and could aid you to lose weight as well.
