A Delicious Low Fat Recipe To Help You Lose Weight

One of the most important aspects of weight loss is changing the food you eat. But if you’re used to eating the same kinds of foods, it may be a struggle to find new, healthier foods which are easy to prepare and will fit into your weight loss diet.

So us here at Weight Loss Diets Reviewed are going to reveal some tasty low fat recipes. These recipes should all be quick and easy to prepare. They also have an oriental feel to them, although we have favored Olive oil in these dishes – which isn’t usually used in oriental cooking.

The recipe is Spicy Chicken and Vegetables...

Firstly, you’ll need to get your hands on one package of fresh and ready to use oriental vegetables found in the produce section. This is the most convenient option, but alternatively you can use a selection of mushrooms, carrots, celery, broccoli, napa cabbage, and onions. You can pick these things separately if you have the time. You’ll need them all peeled and cut into the same size serving pieces, too.

Next, you’ll need ¼ pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs, per person, sliced thinly. If you're serving four people, you need one pound of chicken.

You’ll also need ½ cup rice wine vinegar, ¼ cup soy sauce, 1 teaspoon fresh grated or finely chopped ginger root, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne pepper (use more if you want a spicier dish, less if you would like a mild dish, obviously). Then mix it all together.

Set aside half of the marinade and keep refrigerated. Use the other half to marinate the chicken. Marinate at least an hour, or overnight if you’re preparing the meal a day before – which is a good idea.

After you’ve left it for at least an hour, it’s time to drain the chicken and discard that marinade.

Now you’ll need to use a large sauté pan over a high heat. Add two tablespoons olive oil and heat until it just begins smoking. Stir fry the vegetables until crisp-tender, which should take around three to four minutes.

Now remove from pan. Add another tablespoon of olive oil and heat the oil until it is barely smoking.

Stir fry the chicken for two or three minutes until it's no longer pink in the middle. It needs to be thoroughly cooked for safety reasons, obviously.

Add the reserved marinade and bring to the boiling point. Add the vegetables back in and the chicken to it’s heated through.

Sprinkle with crushed red peppers if you'd like the dish a little spicier.

The next part of this meal will be the lettuce salad.

You need to get one package of shredded iceberg lettuce, or you could get a whole iceberg lettuce and finely shred it yourself. You'll need one cup for each serving. Mix with 1 cup of frozen but defrosted peas.

You’ll need to add one cup of sliced scallions, one cup of diced cucumbers and one can water chestnuts, ½ cup sliced almonds or peanuts. Mix all of these ingredients thoroughly.

For the dressing mix ¼ cup of lemon juice with the zest of one lemon, ½ cup of olive oil, one clove of garlic diced and one tablespoon soy sauce. Now it’s time to toss the salad with dressing, garnish with additional nuts if desired, and serve immediately.

Finally, we come to the delicious dessert.

Simply mix canned-in-water mandarin oranges or fresh orange slices with fresh or frozen pineapple and mango chunks. Then add some shredded coconut. Mix all of this thoroughly.

Then you can simply top with a scoop of low sugar sorbet, and you’re all set!

This meal shouldn’t be too hard to prepare, but we promise you that it’ll be delicious. Healthy meals which fit into good weight loss diets don’t have to be difficult or complicated. They don’t need to include fancy ingredients, either.

However, it make take a little more preparation time if you compare it to some instant ready meal. But you can decrease preparation times by preparing several meals, and heating them up during the week.
