That stubborn 10 lbs can be a real pain in the A**. Especially if most of your weight seems to hibernate in the "rear" view mirror. Sticking to a diet can be sickening.... If I can, I try to eat healthy everyday. This is a tough task since I have a "carb tooth". The carb tooth can be just a disastrous as a "sweet tooth"....ughhhh! Although I have discovered, if I stick to some basic food groups, such as plants and whole grains - I maybe able to vanquish my closet-eating carb urge and let go of some extra lbs. Here is my first "green" healthy recipe to do just that.
The Green and White Burrito
You Will Need: low fat or whole grain soft taco shells. 1 can of chicken broth, 1 Can of white beans, 1 bag of spinach. 1 bag of Romain Lettuce, 1 bag of low fat Mexican shredded cheese.
