Curb temptations
In this week’s mag, beauty ed Tracey takes the bootycamp challenge to get beach-fit fast. Thinking hell yes, me too? Clink in daily for status updates, diet tips, expert tricks and the odd cheat to help get you there…3,2,1 bikini!

Curb temptations!

Today I am mostly… sabotaging myself. Or trying to. All I can think about is food. Lots of it. All the time. Preferably with caramel involved.

But hell no. There’s no way my abs are wrenching through 70 billion (at least) sit-ups a day just to get hijacked by a fistful of Fantales. So Fantales, stop singing my name seductively like that. Damn it, I said NO!

I am eating instead…

A protein-stacked, fat-blasting, bloat-deflating dinner from The Dukan Diet Recipe Book, in bookstores October 1 (Hachette, $29.99).

This is the cook’s guide to the wildly-popular Dukan Diet, which claims Gisele, JLo and those really annoying French women who never seem to get fat as devotees. From the Attack Phase recipe section, the “pure protein only” jump-start to Gisele-ian hotness…All carnivore, no carbs...

Makes enough for dinner tonight and leftovers for lunch tomorrow

Ingredients:

400g sirloin steak
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
I large hunk of ginger, grated
Black pepper
3 drops oil
4 garlic gloves, crushed
A bit of chopped coriander

How to:

Cube beef into 1cm chunks.

Marinate in the soy, oyster, ginger and black pepper for 30 minutes.

Brown the garlic in your pan (which you’ve oiled, then wiped with paper towel to remove excess), then add the meat and cook lightly so it stays a little rare. Garnish with your coriander and…tada!
