Slow Carb... huh?!

Good afternoon!

I just had to share this! I have been following a Slow Carb nutrition plan for about a month now. I think the name sounds scary, but it really isn't. Here are the basics:

• No simple/starchy carb (at all)
• No sugar
• No dairy
• Limited fruit
• No liquid calories

So.... what CAN you eat? Lean (preferrably organic) meats and veggies!! Easy! It is tastier than it sounds... trust me!

 

For example:

 

 

This is a little stir fry I made up. More like a grill than a fry.. but hey thats the name...

 

Here is what it entails:

• Slice up some yellow bell peppers (or red or green or whatever)
• Trim fresh green beans
• Put the green beans in a pan with about 2 inches or so of water. Salt the water (2 pinches)
• Turn burner on HIGH and let the water get warm. Place green beans in pan and allow them to sit in water as it comes to a boil. I leave them in there for about 8 minutes or so.
• While the green beans are beginning to cook I place my bell peppers in about 1/2-1 tablespoon of Olive Oil. Set the temperature to MEDIUM.
• After green beans have cooked for about 8 minutes scoop them out and let them join the pan with the bell peppers. STIR!
• Let these guys cook together for about couple minutes then add the (grass fed organic) beef strips. STIR!
• Cook them to your desired color and lastly (at the very end) add a few slices of tomato.
• I like to top mine with about 1/4-1/2 fresh avocado.

And that is it friends!

A completely fresh meal.

That is SO yummy!
