In this two hour seminar, Tony will share the most important lessons he has learned about fat loss. He will discuss the first law of thermodynamics, the role of energy balance, measuring body composition, optimal nutrition, whether or not supplements are of any value, whether or not protein calories are better than carbohydrate calories, whether or not resistance training is better than aerobic exercise, whether or not interval training is better than continuous aerobic exercise, how to really objectively discover if hormones or other factors are an issue in fat reduction and how to put all the information together to write effective fat loss programs.

As you know, one of my favorite breakfasts is dhal. Dhal is a low calorie, high fibre, plant based, nutrient rich meal that will sustain you til lunchtime. There are so many different ways to make dhal, but here is one of my favorite simple recipes:

Soak 1 cup of split toor dhal and 1 cup of red lentils in hot water for 1 hour. Rinse and then add to a saucepan with 1 cubed eggplant, 2 diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of turmeric and 1 teaspoon of cumin powder. Add 6 cups of water, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer with the lid on for 40minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in another pan. Add 1 teaspoon on mustard seeds, 1.5 teaspoons of cumin seeds and 10 curry leaves if available. When they start to pop, add 1 teaspoon of asophetida powder and fry for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add to the dhal. Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt and juice of 1 lemon (or to taste).

Serve as is or with fresh coriander. This amount will make 4 serves. Note that the addition of fresh or dried chillies is also delicious for those who can handle it.
