using pressure cooker

[jaysleever 61]

well tomorrow I plan on making chicken stew with the pressure cooker and I put only healthy ingredients chicken cutlets cut up into cubes and chicken broth and veggies. basically I want the meat to come out tender and soft not dry and tough. I think its a healthy addition to any kitchen. I can buy the low quality meats like london broils, pot roast, chicken cutlets the big ones I buy all my meat on sale freeze it for when I need it. Its important I believe to have a good variety of healthy food choices. that includes all the various ways of preparing and cooking meat. I usually steam my veggies that i buy frozen. I stay away from high carb veggies like peas. I usually use spinach, string Beans, or broccoli that is frozen and they usually have them on sale weekly. I go through a lot of veggies for Fiber and regularity. I also drink mainly Water with occasional crystal light flavors. I drink my Snacks using the nutribullet for reasons that I dont want to physically eat more than 3 meals a day. I believe its psychological. I feel that if I drink my vegetable smoothies instead of actually chewing a snack which also counts towards my fluids for the day. I stay away from simple carbs. The only carbs is from occasional greek yogurt that i might have for Breakfast or whole grain whole wheat bread for a deli turkey sandwich for lunch which I usually have only twice a week. I am a firm believer in hot meals for lunch and dinner. I weigh all my meals.

Sounds like you are on a great plan. I do low carb, too. If you want some variety on vegs, look up their net carbs, there are lot more you can buy fresh that will not impact your loss. Beans are great, too, although they do have carbs. A half cup cooked legumes does wonders for you. Great source of Fiber and B Vitamins and easy on the sleeve. Those are carbs well spent.
