The Secret to Weight Loss

I have come to this realization.  If you want to lose weight effortlessly eat really spicy food and you won't be able to eat it all and you will have gotten about a gallon of water down over the course of one meal.

This is the magic recipe that brought me to this realization.  Blackened Cumin-Cayenne Tilapia.  I realize there is butter and oil in it but you won't end up using it all.

Is-that-a-fire-in-my-mouth? Tilapia.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 Tbsp EVOO

1 Tbsp light butter (I used Land O' Lakes light butter with canola oil)

2 tilapia fillets

Spice Mix:
(You will have a little left over, but it's good so use it on your eggs or something.)

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Cooking spray

Juice of 1/2 lime (optional)
 

Directions
 

1. Preheat the broiler and mix your spice mix together in a small bowl.

 

2. Melt the butter and oil together in the microwave for about 25 seconds or until liquidy.  (The light butter I used was pretty soft anyway so it didn't take long.)  Dip the fish fillets in and then rub both sides with about half to 3/4 of the spice mixture.

 

3. Spray a baking pan with EVOO spray and place the fillets in.  Broil for about 5 minutes, flip and broil another 5 minutes.  (Keep an eye on them because depending on how far your fish is from the heating element it will cook faster or slower accordingly.)

 

4. Remove from broiler, and pour lime juice over fillets.

 

Prepare to lose weight and be really hydrated my friends.
