You may not believe you can lose weight while on a diet plan which includes shredded chicken or turkey but it is feasible. The key is to not eat shredded chicken or turkey or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 2 weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have simply been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to help you monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Shredded Chicken or Turkey (Pollo o Pavo Deshebrado)

4 bone-in chicken breasts
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves

Put all ingredients into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer and cook the chicken about 25 to 30 minutes, or until it is very tender.

Let the chicken cool for about 10 minutes in the liquid.

Remove the breasts and let them cool a bit for easy handling.

Shred the chicken into bite-size pieces. Save the cooking liquid for sauces or soups.

Simple Deshebrado
Simmer chicken or turkey breasts in water to cover until just done. Remove the meat, reserving the broth for another use.

When the meat is cool enough to handle, remove it from the bones, cut it into 1-inch pieces, and shred it in a food processor fitted with the plastic blade.
