Sweet Potato Chili
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 T chili powder
2 t ground cumin
1 t salt
1/2 t dried oregano
1 can (28 oz) tomatoes in juice
3 T tomato paste
2 sweet potatoes, peeled & diced
2 cups water
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 T Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce
Throw everything into a crockpot and cook until the veggies are tender.
(Maybe a couple of hours on high or 3-4 on low? I haven't ever timed it.)
Makes about 11 cups or 6 main-dish servings.
According to one calorie counter I found online (not sure how accurate it is though), a serving of this might be around 200 calories.
Note: The original recipe also calls for 1 lb of ground beef. I was going to use ground turkey but ended up just completely leaving the meat out instead. I didn't miss it! :o)
Here are the instructions if you want to do it on the stove:
Heat a 5-6 quart saucepot over high heat until hot. Brown ground beef and onion. Spoon off any fat.
Reduce heat to medium; add garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and oregano, and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
Add tomatoes with their juice and tomato paste.
Add sweet potatoes and water; heat to boiling over hight heat.
Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add black beans, zucchini, and Tabasco Chipotle sauce to saucepot; heat to boiling over high heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes or until zucchini is tender and chili thickens slightly.
Enjoy!
Overview of Phase 1 and Foods to Avoid
Your first 30 days on Isagenix are called Phase 1.
Phase 1 is a detox period that will balance out your body. This first phase is prepping your body for aggressive cleansing and you will drop a significant amount of pounds and inches!
During Phase 1: Cut out SUGARS and CARBS
For best results you will go without any sugars, grains, or flours.
This also means no breads (even whole wheat), rice (even brown), pasta, potatoes, corn, peas or any other starchy item. These can create cravings.
The Sugar Rule:
Sugar, in any of its forms, must be listed fifth or lower in the ingredients list to qualify for use in our eating plan. Since flour and saliva combine to form a simple sugar, we also use the sugar rule when it comes to dealing with flour. In other words, flour - any kind of flour - must be fifth or lower on a product's list of ingredients.
WHY do you want to leave these foods out for your first 30 days? Because it gives your pancreas a chance to heal and it redirects your body's pathway of energy towards burning your body's FAT for fuel instead of the carbs you'd eat!
Four things that happen during Phase 1:
1) You reset your Metabolism to burn fat!
2)You nourish every cell in your body!
3)You alkalize your system!
4)And you activate the cleansing process!

Welcome!
My goal for this blog is to help you realize how many delicious things you can eat while doing Isagenix!!! I want to help shift your focus away from what you "can't have" so you see all the things you CAN have! I also want to show you don't have to eat the same thing every day!
If you've come across this blog randomly and don't know anything about Isagenix, you owe it to yourself to find out more!! Head to this link and look around, then come back and browse the recipes here!
I don't know about you but I wasn't quite sure what a "400-600 calorie healthy lunch" entailed. I'd never counted calories before but I was determined to do my 30 days as perfectly as I could. So at lunchtime on my first day of Phase 1 I thought "I'm hungry! What can I make for lunch?" I got online and started googling how many calories various foods had in them. By the time I'd figured out what to have for lunch I was really hungry and discouraged that it had taken me so long to find something to eat! I was worried the 30 days were going to be harder than I had expected. I was definitely not prepared for that first day but, guess what?! I sat down that evening, researched a lot online, made a trip to the grocery store, and I was ready to go for day 2 and haven't looked back!! I have now learned about SO MANY things to have for lunch and I wanted to have a place my Isagenix friends could go to easily find lots of different meal ideas for both Phase 1 & 2! I hope this will help you achieve your goals and encourage you to stick with this until you are where you want to be with your health! I know you can do it!!!
(If you're unfamiliar with the Phases or Isagenix, go here to learn more about the 3 Phases and here to get started with your own 30-day system. I promise if you stick with these guidelines you will see amazing results and you will start seeing and feeling them within your first week!!)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find this blog helpful! I love comments so come back and leave me some often! I'm happy to answer your questions and help you be healthy with Isagenix!
Happy Healthy Lunches everyone!! :o)
