10 RECIPES FOR WEIGHT LOSS

If keeping fit is one of your resolutions this year, I am here to help with these awesome recipes for weight loss.

I have discovered that weight loss is highly dependent on what you eat. I took this experiment a while back and ate totally clean for a week. That meant no white stuff (white rice, white flour, etc), no sugar, very little oil and lots of vegetables and fruits in my diet. The results were impressive. About 5 pounds gone in a week!

I still love carbs though (who can resist freshly homemade cinnamon rolls like the one I had yesterday?!) But every now and then I really need my digestive system to breathe. So if you are looking for recipes to help you eat clean and lose some weight, here 10 recipes to help you crush your goals. They range from dinner ideas to tasty drinks to salads. So let's take a look at the recipes for weight loss:

1. Chicken and Mushroom Stir-fry

I love stir-fry! That's because it allows me the liberty to use any leftover veggies at home. And you can incorporate lots of vegetables into your stir-fry. Serve this delicious chicken and mushroom stir-fry over brown rice. Get the recipe here.
