Healthy eating for weight loss hinges on a number of factors that determine the ease in which you’ll shed extra pounds. One of the best ways to streamline the weight loss process is by finding easy, nutrient dense recipes which will help to cut down on your time in the kitchen while nourishing your body and increasing satiety so you can maintain a calorie deficit. Adding a crock pot to your lineup of kitchen appliances will help to streamline the cooking process so all you have to do is throw ingredients together and let them sit while you go about your day.
The easier it becomes to make healthy choices, the better chance you have at finding a weight loss plan you can stick to when it naturally fits into your existing routine. This spring, this three-ingredient crock pot chicken taco recipe is going to be a staple in your menu for a quick and delicious meal which will nourish your body while keeping you full for effortless weight loss without depriving yourself.
Crock Pot Chicken Tacos
With only three ingredients required to throw in the crock pot as well as whatever you choose to include for the assembly of your tacos, this dish is simple, delicious, and loaded with flavor for a nutrient dense meal you’ll look forward to eating. Chicken is one of the best sources of lean protein for weight loss as it’s low in fat and calories while still filling you up so you never feel deprived in between meals.
After cooking up your chicken in the crock pot, assemble your meal with a variety of other ingredients to get the most out of your dish. Try including some healthy fats from avocado, carbs from your tortilla or brown rice, and an extra serving of protein with black beans. While loading up on nutritious foods that help fulfill your macronutrient needs, you’ll be less inclined to snack on foods that only provide empty calories. Over time this will naturally increase your chances of weight loss without skimping on food for a healthy diet you can maintain.
