I've lost 31 pounds in 8 weeks, guys. Pretty exciting! That is with ZERO exercise. Overhauling your diet is an amazing thing. I feel so much better! I'm always looking for new ways to make meals interesting, so here's what I came up with tonight. (Full ingredient list at the bottom.)
I pressed three very small garlic cloves into a big skillet with some olive oil and onion, then heated this on medium until the onions were cooked.
Next, I threw in some cut green pepper, broccoli, and halved cherry tomatoes. Meanwhile, I threw 5 boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins into my large micro-cooker (they were frozen, mind you) with a little water and some crushed red pepper flakes. I microwaved it for 5 minutes, then took it out of the microwave, cut it into bite-sized pieces, then put it back in the microwave for 2 more minutes. Then I cooked some brown rice in my small micro-cooker for 10 minutes.
I added a small can of no sodium tomato sauce, the chicken, and the rice to the pan.
Then I put some into a bowl and added some lite salt and some black pepper. Can you tell I like pepper?
