To lose a few pounds, Brenda tries to minimize carbohydrates, and focuses on lean meats, vegetables, fruits and nuts. She absolutely loves sweets, particularly cookies. She finds it difficult to eat a meal without carbs, so when she eats fish, she likes cornbread for her carb selection. Chef Lo prepares the cornbread using Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, 8.5 oz, 6 pk. Chef Lo’s cornbread is so tasty that it tastes like cake! One piece of cornbread is 75 calories and 2.25 grams of fat — not bad.
For added health benefits, Chef Lo sprinkles 1 tablespoon of One 1 lb Bob’s Red Mill Organic Gluten-Free Whole Ground Golden Flaxseed Meal into the mixture. Flaxseeds have been linked to health benefits such as reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer! A bonus benefit is that flaxseed absorbs the taste of the food so you don’t notice it!
