entrées in this chapter. I have included packable or work-friendly lunches for the working gals and guys out there, such as Stuffed Tomatoes and Lightly Spiced Chicken Wraps as well as quick-fix entrées (who said that egg dishes like the Artichoke Frittata are just for breakfast), main-course salads, casseroles, and one-dish skillet meals that provide comfort food with a bit of flair—the Fat Flush way.
    You may be surprised to see that there are many entrées in addition to chicken. In fact, I introduce quite a few entrées made with beef and lamb (including the Warm Thai Lamb Salad and Lamb Salad with Mint). This is not by accident. These protein-rich foods are some of our best sources of both zinc and L-Carnitine—two important nutrients that are lacking in most diets and essential for healing, hormonal balance, and fat burning.
    You will also find that onions, leeks, scallions (or green onions), and garlic figure prominently in the entrée section. The onion family is a rich source of sulfur-based compounds and antioxidants, which are cleansing for the liver, anti-inflammatory, and helpful in bringing cholesterol levels down. Garlic, that lovely “stinking rose,” contains similar sulfur-based compounds and are believed to contain potent antibiotic, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties.
    I know you will enjoy the easy seafood offerings and the kabobs in this section. All of these are designed to provide you with some delicious main courses that take minimal time in the oven, on the grill, or in the skillet.
    Fat Flush Secret Tip:
For Phase 3 special occasions you can make any chicken, fish, or lamb dish unique by using a nut crust! In one small bowl, combine 3 or more tablespoons of ground flaxseeds seasoned with your favorite herbs. In another bowl combine ¼ cup Dijon mustard with 2 tablespoons honey. And in a third bowl place ½ cup finely chopped toasted pumpkin seeds, pecans, walnuts, pine nuts, or pistachios. Dip each breast, filet, or chop in the flaxseed mixture, then the honey mustard, and finally the nut mixture to coat. Cook over medium-low heat in a nonstick skillet until cooked through.
