You may not accept that you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes Thai Pork with Cellophane Noodles but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat Thai Pork with Cellophane Noodles or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last 6 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have just been conscious of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

On my one non diet day per week, I usually like to eat Thai food. I never believed I could lose 5 kilos while eating Thai meals but am very glad to see it does work. If you want to try some Thai food, I propose you make Thai Pork with Cellophane Noodles which is one of my most admired Thai recipes.

Thai Pork with Cellophane Noodles

3/4 cup cellophane noodles
5 tablespoons stock
2 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed and chopped
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice vinegar)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 clove garlic
1 thin slice ginger root
3/4 pound lean pork, sliced paper thin
1 cup shredded spinach
1/4 cup chopped water chestnuts
1/4 cup slivered sweet red pepper

In a medium mixing bowl, cover the noodles with hot water and let them soak for 20 minutes. Drain. Cut into 1-inch pieces with scissors.

Combine 2 tablespoons of the stock with the beans, mirin and cornstarch.

In a wok or large nonstick frying pan, cook the garlic and ginger in the remaining stock for 1 minute over medium-high heat. Discard the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry the pork and noodles for 3 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Add the spinach, water chestnuts, peppers and bean mixture. Toss to heat through. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.

You can adapt the recipe to make it quite a bit healthier or with less calories as this can assist you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It did work for me and could assist you to lose weight as well.
