southwestern pulled pork

You possibly will not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes southwestern pulled pork but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat southwestern pulled pork or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any vitamins or diet food. I have simply been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day of the week.

On my one day off per week, I tend to eat mexican food. I never imagined I could lose 5 kilos while eating mexican meals but am very elated to see it does work. If you feel like trying some mexican food, I propose you make southwestern pulled pork which is one of my most adored mexican recipes.

Southwestern Pulled Pork

1 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) pork butt (weight after trimmed of fat)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can ready cut tomatoes with jalapenos
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
Shredded Cheddar or jack cheese
Green onions, cut into 1/4-inch lengths
Tomatoes, diced
Sour cream

Cut pork into 1 1/2 inch chunks and sear in hot oil until browned on all sides. Add onion, taco seasoning mix, tomatoes with jalapenos and diced green chiles; stir well. Cover and simmer over low heat, for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Remove cover and cook 15 minutes more or until liquid has reduced and sauce is thick. Shred meat with two forks. Spoon filling into warm flour tortillas and top with cheese, green onions, tomatoes and sour cream.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.

You can change the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with less calories as this can help you to lose 5 kilos quickly. It worked for me and could help you to lose weight as well.
