Biggest Loser Deleted Recipes
There were a few recipes that were in the original Biggest Loser
book that for some reason never made it in the Biggest Loser Cookbook.
I've called these the "Deleted Recipes". I know Dr.
Jeff mentioned on his website that his chili recipe wasn't correct
in the Biggest Loser book, so perhaps that's why it was removed
from the cookbook.
In any case, I've included two of my favorite recipes from the
first book that slipped through the cracks in the Cookbook.
Doc's Chili Recipe
A simmering pot of Doc’s Chili was found on the Ranch stove
every week during Season Two. The invention of Dr Jeff Levine,
this crowd-pleasing favorite is short on preparation time and
long on flavor.
3 cups chopped yellow onions
1 pound lean ground turkey (or lean turkey sausage)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground mustard
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups cooked pinto beans (one 15-ounce can, rinsed and drained
)
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans (one 15-ounce can, rinsed and drained
)
3 cups diced tomatoes (or one 28-ounce can roasted diced tomatoes,
undrained)
1 cup fat free chicken broth
1/2 cup black olives
1/2 cup chopped green onions or chopped fresh cilantro
Spray a large saucepan or Dutch oven with a few sprays of cooking
oil spray. Add onion and sauté over medium-high heat until
soft and just starting to brown. Add ground turkey or sausage;
cook over medium high heat, breaking up meat with a spoon, until
cooked through; about 6 minutes. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin,
mustard, garlic, beans, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil over
high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let
simmer for 20 minutes.
Garnish with olives and green onions or cilantro and serve immediately.

Kelly Mac Snack Recipe
"I don't really make any exciting food items that are original.
I do make this snack thing that I try to eat instead of an energy
bar. It's called "The Kelly Snack". It's the same calories
as a bar, except more natural."
22 dry roasted unsalted almonds
1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
2 tablespoons raisins
Put ingredients in a little snack baggie and pop it in your bag
for the day. Try not to get stuck eating bars on the go.
