The best chili recipe for fat loss and muscle building

Drop pounds without dropping your favorite foods

Whenever I go on a fat loss diet plan to lose a few extra pounds, I never give up on my favorite foods. A good lifestyle fitness solution will help you incorporate the foods you love into your daily diet plan. In some cases, they may just need to be adjusted a little to reset the macronutrient ratio. Macronutrients are fats, proteins and carbohydrates. To create an effective fat burning meal, it's good to have a balance of each. I eat isocalorically. I get 33% of my calories from carbohydrates, 33% from protein and 33% from fat. This is very close to the 40/30/30 ratio zone, but I reduced the carb ratio slightly and balanced the power.

Do you love Love Chili?

Which brings me to chili. I love chili so much that I eat it several days a week. I will drop 2 pounds of fat from my body every week and I will do it by eating chili for lunch almost every day. Now I don't recommend chili for lunch every day as I want to encourage a lot of variety, but since it only takes 5 minutes to make, I do this every week.

My chili recipe

This particular recipe is incredibly high in fiber, and I've replaced some of the fat you would find with traditional chili with ground flaxseed, giving you a high dose of omega-3. The idea is to keep the fat there but lower the fat content with lean ground turkey and add some calories for back fat with ground flaxseed. The high fiber content and the balance of fat, proteins and carbohydrates result in a meal with very slow digestion. This is important to ensure a steady flow of fuel into your bloodstream, allowing for consistent blood sugar levels that keep you in a good mood and a full stomach (which isn't always easy when losing weight!).

Let's get to the recipe - it only takes 5 minutes to prepare!

1.25 pounds lean ground turkey 6 tablespoons ground flax 1 jar reduced sugar Ragu spaghetti sauce 1 can pinto beans (low sodium - or pick and soak organic dry beans) 1 can black beans (low sodium - or pick and soak organic dry beans) 1 package chili seasoning 1 chopped jalepeno or green pepper (optional) Fresh chopped cilantro - optional garnish

Brown the ground beef in a deep pot. Drain the excess fat and return to the pan. Add the sauce, spices, beans and flax. Now simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

This recipe makes 6 servings.

That's it, that's all it takes to make easy diet chili. It is possible to make almost any recipe to fit your fat loss plans. In most cases, it's just a matter of optimizing these macronutrients up or down. In some cases, you may need to figure out how to lower the amount of carbohydrates and increase the amount of protein. In this recipe we actually needed to add fat, so we added the ground flaxseed for a healthy dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
