Chicken/Beef Cabbage Stew

For a while now my friends have been trying to convince me to post all my yummy recipes, however, I simply never had the time. Now they are not only demanding yummy recipes, but yummy recipes that are healthy and that can help them shed a little weight. 

As many may know, I am a martial arts practitioners but I also heavily compete, and making weight for these competitions is one of the hardest things to accomplish; mentally and physically. This recipe I am about to share is what kept me sane during my last cut from 158.8lbs to 134.5lbs.


Let the following ingredients simmer for 3-5mins
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoon of Lemon Juice
- 1 spoon of minced Garlic
- 1 teaspoon of Olive Oil
- Add a fair amount of Parsley and Basil

Add the following ingredients and cook for 15mins: 
- Half a Cabbage
- 3 or 4 large Carrots
- Half of a Red Onion (sliced)

Add the following ingredient and cook for approximately 15mins:
- Chicken or Beef  (cut into chunks)


 If you are reading this post for healthy food ideas in hopes to shed a few pounds, note that chicken is a leaner meat than Beef and that portion size is an important factor too! Hope you enjoy the first of many posts to come.
