The Full Plate Diet Download
This diet approaches the issue from a different perspective. The lack of fiber in the Western diet. When you are approaching 80-100gms of fiber each day, you are plant based.
A veggie burrito with rice, blue corn chips, a touch of Daiya "cheese", and red chile sauce
Sauteed veggies include onion, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, and mushrooms, with non-fat "refried" beans in a whole wheat tortilla.
Non-Fat "Refried" Beans
3 cups dried pinto beans soaked overnight and rinsed
8oz, or more, canned diced mild green chilies
1-2 diced white onions or 1-2 T onion granules
1 T chile powder. Plain, chipotle, or a mix
Smashed garlic cloves to taste (I use a lot) or garlic powder
More freshly ground or cracked black pepper that you think you need
1-2 tsp dried Mexican oregano
1-2 tsp dried thyme
1-2 tsp cumin
Place all ingredients in a slow cooker. Soaked and rinsed beans go in last.
Cook all day or until tender
Remove some bean broth and reserve.
Coarsely mash beans with a potato masher leaving some whole.
Add reserved bean broth as necessary. The beans will absorb bean broth as they cool.
Some people like their beans smoother and use an immersion blender. I'm not one of those people.
