Ingredients

  • 1 lb Extra Lean Ground Beef
  • 2 tbsps Chili Powder
  • 1 tbsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (chopped)

Instructions

  • In a pan over medium-high heat, brown the beef. Break the meat into very small pieces with a spatula and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess drippings, but keep the beef in the pan.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, tomatoes, jalapeno and green onion to the beef. Stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes until tomatoes are very soft. Remove from heat and stir in half of the lime juice. Season with additional salt if needed.
  • In a large mixing bowl toss the chopped romaine lettuce with olive oil and remaining lime juice.
  • To assemble the salad, divide lettuce between plates and top evenly with beef and avocado. Serve immediately and enjoy.

  • More Flavor

    Top salad with additional tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, green onions, salsa, cilantro, lime juice or hot sauce.
  • Make it Vegan

    Use black beans instead of ground beef.

138. Phases of Progress

Have you ever heard the saying, “If it was easy, everyone would do it”?

This is true for almost anything that’s worth doing – starting a new job, renovating your house, and, yes, even losing weight.

The truth is that it’s usually not the end goal that makes everything feel unattainable, but rather the phases of progress you have to go through to reach your goal.

I know we all want our progress to be fast, easy, and predictable.

But it’s just not.

Every single one of us works through four phases of progress, some of which are much more trying than others.

I’m breaking them all down in this episode to help normalize exactly what it looks like to make progress that lasts.

Are you ready to lose fat for good?​

Take this quick quiz to see where you’re going wrong with weight loss & exactly what you need to do differently to see the progress that lasts!
