pepper and tomato stew

December 5th, 2008

You might not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes pepper and tomato stew but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat pepper and tomato stew or other high calorie vegetables & salads every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself these kinds of food one meal per week. I eat a low calorie diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any pills or diet food. I have simply been aware of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I like one day a week.

I also find it makes things easier if you have a little support when trying to lose weight and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to help you monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Pepper and Tomato Stew

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into thin strips
2 green peppers, seeded and cut into thin strips
6 large tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Granulated sugar

Heat olive oil in a pot. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add garlic. Add the peppers. Cover and let cook over low heat.

Meanwhile peel the tomatoes (plunge into boiling water for just a few seconds, then plunge into ice water; the peels will come right off). Remove the seeds (optional) and slice tomatoes. Add to the pot, season with basil, salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. Cook until the vegetables are just soft, approximately 30 minutes.
