Ropa Veja (Trans. Old Clothes) Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
4 lb boneless chuck roast
1 large white onion, thin sliced
1 sweet bell pepper, thinly sliced *
1 can beef broth (not condensed)
Recipe Preparation
* (I'd personally substitute several roasted Anaheim or Poblano
peppers, but Bell would be a safer choice for the heat-shy)
Lay half the onions and peppers in a large heavy stewing pot. Add the
roast, and cover with the remaining peppers.
Add enough beef broth to come about halfway up the side of the roast.
Cover, and cook over medium-low heat, turning the roast occasionally,
until the meat is virtually falling apart (3- 4 hours). If you have a
crock pot, all day (without turning) is fine.
Remove the roast from the pot, pull off and discard any remaining
fat, and using a fork or your fingers, pull the lean meat into
shreds. Mix in the onions/peppers and enough of the de-fatted cooking
liquid to form a juicy, but not soupy mixture. Season to taste with
salt. This will reheat very well, or hold nicely in a chafing dish.
Use as a filling for soft or hard tacos (lowest in fat would be soft
tacos made with steamed or lightly heated corn tortillas).

The argument against low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Many scientific studies over the years have illustrated that high consumption of animal fat can lead to increased probability of cancer, heart problems and other inflammatory disorders.
Remember, one point that is often overlooked, it is very hard (although not totally impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes paprika, collard greens and tomato puree)
These orange and green natural foods are rich in carotenes believed by nutritionalists play a key role in minimizing the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach and lesophagus. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in every weight loss program.
