Did you know that adding chilli to your meals to give them that spicy edge can actually give your metabolism a temporary boost? That means your body will burn more calories, for longer, giving your weight loss an additional kick-start. So we’ve chosen @belindamorison as our penultimate instagram winner for her healthy and zingy chilli beef stir fry. Using a quality cut of beef, you’ll be getting a good serve of protein, which helps your body feel full and reduces hunger pangs, at the same time as building lean muscle mass – perfect for anyone who has started light exercise in conjunction with their Lose Baby Weight plan.
To make your own version of this spicy stir fry, take a look at our Lose Baby Weight recipe here. The key to making this healthier version of a classic dish, is to make sure you’re not using any pre-packaged or processed sauces – these often contain very high levels of salt and sugar to make them taste good. Instead, stick to fresh ingredients, and create the aromatic Asian flavours by using combinations of soy sauce, oyster sauce or tamari sauce. You’ll be surprised by how much flavour you can create at home without any of the pre-packaged options, and you’ll create a much healthier, lower fat dish. Belinda has used lots of broccoli and capsicum, but you can add your own combination of fresh vegetables – mushrooms, cauliflower, snow peas – just drop them into the pan in the final stages of cooking to make sure they maintain their crunch.
