You may have read on here lately that I have been trying to lose weight for a long time. It is such a battle for me because I lose weight and then I just get tired of eating the same boring food over and over and over and then I get these urges and I just go balls to the wall and overeat and put all the weight back on.
I’ve been searching for low carb foods and recipes that aren’t just cauliflower this and cauliflower that. I’m fine with cauliflower recipes, but some times I just need something different.
I happened to come across Real Good Foods and I saw a bunch of people on Instagram posting about it. So, I thought, what the heck, let’s give them a try.
So far, I have tried the verde pork enchiladas and the pepperoni pizzas, both the snack size and regular size.
My quick, summarized review of them…
I AM IN LOVE!
Let me go into a little more detail here.
First up, the pizza.
As I scanned the nutritional label, I realized that there was just 4 grams of carbs. Well, for me, that’s not even enough carbs to give myself a shot of insulin. It would be 1 unit, so I just skipped the insulin because I had gone for a walk a little before trying for the first time.
With it being only 4 grams of carbs, I went to the ingredients. The very first thing I noticed, and loved, was that the crust was made of chicken.
That’s right, chicken!
Now, that might weird you out at first, but you have to absolutely try it.
To me, it tasted like I was eating chicken Parm because it had pizza sauce and cheese on the crust, and since the crust is chicken, it’s chicken Parm in my eyes.
Please check out the ingredients and the nutritional info.
My recommendations for the pizza are once you cook it in the oven for the 20 or 25 minutes like it says, put it on top of a skillet and grill the crust (made with chicken) for a few minutes as well. It doesn’t say to do this and you don’t have to, but I tried it and I liked it even better this way.
They are smaller size pizzas since they are individual, but they help me with my portion control. So far, I’ve had the pizzas for lunch by itself, for dinner with a side salad and as a late night snack during a late college football night.
The other Real Good Foods product that I tried was the verde pork enchiladas. It was taco night and I always just eat lettuce wraps every Tuesday, which I love, but I wanted to switch it up a bit and have something different.
The enchiladas are baked in the oven for about 20-25 minutes like the pizza and then I let them sit for a couple of minutes to let the cheese and everything settle. Plain, as is, they were awesome!
I added a scoop of sour cream and sprinkled a little more cheese on top and add a few dabs of hot sauce and they were perfect!
These also had 4 grams of carbs and the tortillas were made out of chicken.
