Diet Recipe's For Carb Lovers
Dr Oz had a show today just for carb lovers! He invited fan favorite Lisa Lillian on to the show to share her diet recipes for carb lovers to enjoy without the guilt. In case you didn't know, Lisa Lillian is the author of the best selling Hungry Girl books.
Dr Oz explained a little bit about what the problem is with refined carbohydrates. When you eat refined carbs you don't stay full. Within a short time after you eat them you are hungry all over again. You will either keep snacking or you will be likely to binge later when you are ravenous with hunger. The recipes that Lisa shared on the Dr Oz show today are made with the more healthy complex carbs featuring foods we all love like the "Cheeseburger Mac Attack Recipe", the "Loaded Pizza Potato Recipe", and the Loaded Baked Ziti
- 5 ounces of uncooked high fiber elbow macaroni (5 ounces is approximately 1 1/3 cups)
- 10 ounces of raw and lean ground turkey
- 2 Tablespoons of ketchup
- 3 Cups of frozen cauliflower pieces
- 2 tablespoons of light sour cream
- 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion (I know many people who dislike onions. I'm sure you can discard this ingredient but they are oh so healthy, why not leave them in unless you detest them?)
- 2 slices of 2 percent American cheese. Lisa Lillian (Hungry Girl) recommends laughing cow cheese because it only has 35 calories! It is also lower in fat than comparable cheeses.
- 5 wedges of light and creamy swiss cheese
- 2 scallions (slice them thinly but be careful! Or buy them pre sliced)
- Salt and black pepper are optional
- Cook the high fiber elbow macaroni pasta in a pot. Cook for only HALF the time as indicated on the macaroni package
- Drain macaroni
- Mix the ground turkey, onion, and ketchup (or catsup as some prefer it to be called) in a bowl
- Mix in cauliflower and cooked pasta
- Put your mixture of ingredients in a crock pot. Cover and cook on the highest setting for 3 hours.
- Reduce to low for 7 hours
- Add remaining ingredients
- Cover and cook until the cheese has melted (approximately 15 minutes should be sufficient)
