Dal Tadka

I also went on a moderate version of Tim Feriss slow carb diet which he describes in his book Four Hour Body, so I skiped the rice or naan which you normally serve to this dish.
Dal is a staple food in his diet.

ginger
salt
green chilli

Spinach Cucumber Parsley Celery Lime Juice

The dal was a little easy on the caloric side, so because of that, and also out of nostalgia for last week, I made myself a fresh green juice later today too.

The celery gives this juice a nice salty taste.

1 cup spinach
1/4 english cucumber
1 small handful parsley
4 celery stalks
½ lime/lemon

I was a little sore when doing my ashtanga practice from yesterday’s three trainings, but I like the fact that I can add additional trainings almost unnoticeable. I’m at 2 hours workout a day now and it feels good. My resolution for this year was to take It easy. I probably will end up at 3-4hours a day again, but i want to ease into that volume as slow as possible.
