Ingredients:

15 oz. raw pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat (should yield two 5-oz cooked servings)

4 cups (1 medium head) bok choy, leaves removed, chopped

2 cups (18 medium) mushrooms, sliced

2 tsp. fresh ginger root, grated

2 tsp. olive oil

Non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

Chop bok choy and slice mushrooms; set aside. Trim fat off tenderloin if necessary. Slice tenderloin into ½-inch thick pieces. Grate ginger root. Heat a skillet over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray for 5-10 seconds. Add ginger root to skillet and sauté 1-2 minutes. Add bok choy and mushrooms to skillet. Add additional non-stick cooking spray (about 5 seconds) if needed. Sauté mixture 5-8 minutes or until vegetables are al dente (tender-crisp). Remove vegetables from skillet and place in bowl; cover with plate to keep warm. Add olive oil to skillet, and then add pork slices. Stir-fry slices 3-4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Serve pork slices on top of vegetables.

In order to keep your body in the Fat Burning State, instead of the Fat Storage State, it is critical that you fuel your body every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day for LIFE.  This is also the best way to stabilize the blood sugar which keeps diseases at bay and slows the aging process!

Chapter 2 ~ The Path: The Creation of Optimal Health (page 15)

Your Daily Choices and Your Current Health

Like most of us, you probably haven’t escaped the effects of too much food and too little activity. Today, over two-thirds of Americans are either pre-obese or obese. But just by deciding to read this book and make a change, you are about to experience a powerful impact on your life.

At each phase of your journey, you’ll be making choices that fit your lifestyle – whatever your current reality may be. Whether you’re 20 years old and not eating properly, 40 years old and seriously overweight, or 60 years old with diabetes, high blood pressure, and a previous heart attack, the habits I’m about to teach you will create a blueprint for your daily life, advancing you from current state of health toward optimal health. And as you lose weight and increase your energy, you’ll find that it gets easier and easier to make healthy choices.
