Tracey has embraced and embedded everything she has learned from the Colour Code System and the Colour Fast Reset and continues  to apply it with ease - just as it was designed . Yo -Yo dieting and setting yourself up to fail time and again becomes a distant memory never to be relived. I feel so privileged to have played a part. and so thrilled for Tracey who I'll think you'll agree looks fantastic ...and she is totally focussed, obviously feeling fantastic about it too!

FOOD MATTERS 

One of the fundamentals of the Placebo Diet Colour Code System is eating less red meat. Also to have more vegetarian meal days in your week. Over the last 4 years at least 4 or 5 days a week are Vegetarian for me now,  then I will have fish and organic chicken on the other days...and the occasional fillet steak of course. Vegetarian meals should not just be vegetables, as many different varieties across the week (through the seasons) is the aim for the high fibre, vitamin and antioxidant value. Vegetarian meals should always contain  a high percentage of vegetable protein in the form of beans and pulses in order to be  balanced.. This hearty Vegetarian Chilli from Janet Thomson certainly covers all bases and you can always add more veg of course! This recipe is ideal to batch cook and freeze and is perfect for the Reset too - I'll be making mine this weekend and I serve it with peas or cauliflower rice to keep it reset friendly. ( i.e no 'Pinks' - starchy carbs)

Three Bean Chilli

When trying to eat less red meat, you will hardly miss it with this flavourful chilli. 2 red peppers , Coconut oil, 1 large chopped onion 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp red chilli flakes 1 tsp paprika ¼ tsp salt 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced ½ pint vegetable stock large butternut squash peeled and cubed into ½ inch pieces 2 cans chopped tomatoes. 1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained 1 can red kidney beams, rinsed and drained   Firstly you need to skin the peppers by placing on a baking sheet under a high grill, turning over as they blacken and the skins shrivels. Once done all over, place in a a large bowl and place cling film tightly over the top. Leave to steam for 15 minutes. Once cooler, one by one take the peppers and remove the charred skin and the seeds from the insides, chop the remaining grilled flesh ready for your chilli. If this all seems like too much hard work, use a jar of those ready peeled roasted peppers – very convenient and a cheat worth making!! Sauté the onions in a pan with the coconut oil gently for 15 mins until soft and translucent. Add the cumin and next four ingredients and garlic and cook for a further few minutes. Add the peppers, stock, squash and tomatoes and cook for a further 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the beans and cook for a further 20 minutes until slightly thickened. Test for seasoning and serve with brown or cauliflower rice for a hearty salad. Ideal to freeze for a nutritious ready meal too ... ENJOY!
