My ‘lazy girl’ meal helped me lose 25 lbs in my 40s – it tastes like magic and costs less than $10 to batch make
ONE woman in her 40s has devised the perfect lazy girl meal that satisfies and helps cinch the body.
Her less than $10 concoction helped her lose 25 pounds and tastes magical.
Kat James (@shinebykatjames) welcomed viewers into her kitchen as she whipped up her beloved salad.
“Oh my god, it’s just magic. The flavors are magic,” she admitted at the start of her video.
The clever chef laid her ingredients on a cutting board: five Persian cucumbers, one red bell pepper, and various seasonings.
Kat warned her followers that their weight loss journey needed to include easy, low-calorie, refrigerated, and inexpensive foods they liked.
And for her, this meal was one of them.
She said: “This salad was on repeat while I lost 25 pounds.”
The TikTok user started by slicing her mini cucumbers.
For the red pepper, Kat recommended cutting the food to be the same size as the cucumber slices.
Next, she mixed the two vegetables in a bowl and sprinkled Trader Joe’s “everything but the bagel seasoning.”
“I want you to heavily coat it,” Kat proclaimed.
She did the same thing with two tablespoons of ginger dressing.
A chili crisp or crunch completes the recipe.
But Kat said the amount of it is flexible depending on how much heat you want.
“The whole thing is under $10 to make. It is so good. It will last in your fridge,” she said.
“This salad comes together effortlessly, and the flavors are to die for. Everything you can find readily available at your average grocery store.”
Kat’s followers were familiar with the spicy salad.
“Totally agree. I lost 75 pounds naturally. It might be boring but find what you like to eat and stick with it,” a helpful woman wrote.
An appreciative fan commented: “Thank you. So glad I came across your page.”
“I have all these in my kitchen and going to make it when I get back from my walk,” an inspired follower admitted.
Other women who had tried the concoction suggested adding avocado, mango, feta cheese, lean protein, and tomatoes.
