Slow Carb Snack Idea #2

As I've been following a slow carb diet, one of the best features is that I don't have the junk food cravings that I always used to get.  That is thanks to how satisfying and full a strict slow carb meal will leave you.  A typical slow carb meal will keep you fueled up for several hours and up to your next slow carb meal.  However, it's not always easy or convenient to keep every meal a slow carb one.  Maybe you forgot your slow carb lunch at home and you have to buy your lunch while at work.  As a result, hunger inevitably will hit you and you won't be able to cook a chicken breast or scramble some eggs to fill you up.  You need something else.

Black Beans with Ground Beef

I just threw together this quick slow carb meal this morning and then crossed my fingers that I had something tasty waiting for me at lunch time.  Luckily, my new creation was a winner, and it is one of the simplest slow carb recipes that I've posted yet!

Slow Carb Chicken and Black Beans

This slow carb recipe is one of the simplest I've made.  All you need are onions, beans, and chicken, and a couple of different spices.  High in protein from the chicken, the caloric bulk from the black beans gives you plenty of energy, and the fiber from the beans won't leave you craving more (junk) food an hour later.

Slow Carb Turkey Chili

Turkey chili is great, and it's even better when you can say that you made it yourself.  This recipe fits nicely into a slow carb diet... basically it's just vegetables, beans, and meat.  It makes enough for 6-8 bowls, so count on having leftovers, which is never a bad thing.  And having turkey chili already made and ready to eat after work for a few days is awesome.  Give it a try, and let me know what you think.  Feel free to experiment with the spices to create your own perfect blend.
