One of the easiest ways to lose weight is to eat fewer carbs – especially bad carbs like processed foods. Carbs, when you eat a lot of them, are easily stored as fat, and hold up the fat burning process. They also contain a lot of calories.
Does this mean you need to give up carbs entirely? I don’t think so.
Eating low carbs is easy but giving up all carbs for good is very hard, and can trigger hunger and cravings. That’s why I seldom recommend very low carb diets. Instead, I recommend you make better carb choices.
This recipe, sweet potato kale frittata, is high in protein, and contains only a small amount of carbs, and those carbs are good carbs. A lot of low carb diets will steer you away from all types of potatoes, even sweet potatoes, but a small serving won’t do you any harm.
In fact, the combination of ingredients in this recipe is designed to fill you up and speed up your metabolism making it the perfect weight loss meal.
Easy to make, this frittata is the perfect dinner recipe.
