Weight Loss Recipe

We create vitamin supplements for a variety of reasons and the most asked-for supplement is one for weight loss.  Our policy is to create and sell formulas that we believe are the best that they can be.  While we are working on a weight loss supplement, we haven't created one that we are entirely happy with.  What we did find is a recipe for weight loss - an easy-to-make crock-pot meal that helps you shed unwanted pounds fast! There's enough for a week.

The recipe is one we've used and liked and we hope it gives you the same positive results.  This was created for a large crock-pot. If you don't have a crock pot, then this can be prepared on a stove top in a large lidded stew pot.

On the east coast, we have Goya branded products and their large cans (1 pound, 13 oz. size) are what we refer to. If Goya-brand products are not available where you live, any other company's products will also work. Save at least one of the large cans as a convenient unit of measurement since most of the ingredients are "can-size."

 

Ingedients:

Black beans - one large can (1 pound, 13 oz. size can).  Black beans have a tremendous amount of protein and are essential to the recipe.  You need to add one more can of beans, and you can choose any can you like.

Beans (your choice) - one large can (1 pound, 13 oz. size can).
Baby carrots - one small bag (about 1 pound)
1 large potato - cut into 3/4" cubes
Onions - cut into small pieces, enough to fill one 1 pound, 13 oz. size can.
Celery - chopped into bite-sized pieces, enough to fill one large (1 pound, 13 oz. size can) can
1 pound of meat (beef, chicken, pork - your choice) trim off the fat as well as you can, then cut into small 3/4" cubes.
1 large can of tomatoes (stewed, or crushed, or puree - 1 pound, 15 oz. can size)
1 cup of white wine (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt.
1/2 teaspoon pepper.

 

2 Bay leaves
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 oz. of Franks or Louisiana Hot Sauce.
(optional, or according to taste)

Prepare the meat:  After removing as much of the fat as you can, and after cutting the meat into 3/4" cubes, add the olive oil to a frying pan.  When the pan is well heated add the meat and brown it on all sides.  The browning caramelizes the surface and adds flavor to the stew. The frying process removes some of the fat you couldn't trim off.

Prepare the Stew: When done, remove the meat leaving the fat renderings and olive oil behind.  Put the meat into a large crock pot.   Add the vegetables, seasoning and beans.  There's no need to drain the beans. Mix so ingredients are evenly distributed. Next add the tomatoes and finally the white wine. Give it a final stir.

Simmer for 8-10 hours
in the crock pot. If you use a stove top, the stew can be done in less than 2 hours.  I prefer the slow cooking process. Towards the end of the cooking process, add the hot sauce. 
 

The trick is to eat a small bowl (12-16 oz) for lunch and another for dinner for 4-1/2 days. We don't recommend eating bread with the stew. In addition, take a walk or do moderate exercise for 5 days.  A one-mile walk, a jog, lifting weights or even raking the leaves.  Do some exercise every day - be consistent.

The dense, rich, flavorful stew is very satisfying. Since it is mostly vegetables with the small amount of meat providing mostly aroma and flavor, it is calorie-friendly while providing you with plenty of vitamins and protein (mostly from the black beans). Beans are one of the best sources of soluble fiber, which has been shown to lower serum cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar. Insoluble fiber is also plentiful in beans. If you tolerate hot spice well, the hot sauce accelerates your digestive system.  With the addition of moderate exercise, you can lose up to two pounds a week.

Between meals snack on carrots, celery or have a piece of fruit.  Try to eliminate processed foods.  When you breakfast, eat oatmeal rather than processed, sweetened cereals.

On Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday eat whatever you like in a sensible manner.  Don't over do it if you go to a restaurant. This recipe rewards you on the weekend but maintain normal portions.

Next week vary the recipe by selecting a different cut of meat for a different flavor.
