^ I don't eat meat/fish/chicken.. so it wasn't boring for me at all! Whole-wheat pasta with red peppers and mushrooms is great too..
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
Again, why would you torture yourself like that?? 
No, you’re right… veggies are the way to go… desis eat way too much red meat anyway…
They're yummy! Giving-up desserts was the hard part :(
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
I've been eating a stiry fry veggie meal for lunch, a light protein only breakfast, and a regular dinner with very little carbs. I've lost 2lbs already this past week.
WHAT??? Can you start on a thread on that please. (I am serious)
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
Please don’t start this discussion again 
. There are numerous threads on prawns/crabs/lobsters etc and wheteher they are halal…
My school of thought (and i am pretty reputable 
) is they are not haraam, but makrooh, meaning it’s ok to eat them but not recommended… i think it’s cos they eat the waste of other fish?? 
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
Maroush, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
But doesn't ALL seafood do that - I see my goldfish eat the other's ones poop all the time! (even though it's not thrying to).
They eat, live and swim in the same water.
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
Well let's forget the makrooh issue at this point. Shrimp is high in cholesterol and/or saturated fats.
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
^ that is true but still better than eating carbs. You should have seafood (halal fish or soemthing) atleast 2 times a week.
Good in omega 3
Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
...and the point I made was about adding protein to the stirfry.
When you have time, please share a good recipe and mention what condiments you added to it.

Re: Stir Frys and Dieting
Adding protein such as lean beef and chicken breast or even fish would make it perfecto!
Vital I usually par-boil brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, peas, snowpeas and then saute them in a tablespoon of olive oil, black pepper and very little salt.. u can even used garlic/lemon salt. I add thyme often too.
Just slice all the diff peppers, mushrooms and I use sesame oil, garlic paste, soy sauce :)
