How Slow Cookers Help Weight Loss

You might be wondering… how could using a different cooking method help me with weight loss?

It's true – whether you use a skillet, slow cooker or a microwave, it's the ingredients that you're eating that makes the difference in your body.

However, how many of you have been in this situation:

“You wake up with a great plan for the day. Kids are successfully sent off to school. You're at work and things start to run long. Your perfect dinner plans are looking less and less like a possibility. By the time you're in the car to head home, you know that a frozen dinner is the only option. Maybe tomorrow you'll cook?”

Now, not everyone has been in that exact situation. But I can guess that every single one of us has groaned at the thought of cooking dinner after a long day's work.

And the choices that we make when we're out of time or just feeling tired are not usually healthy ones.

Slow cookers take the challenge out of cooking, which allows you to cook more healthily.

When you use a slow cooker, you're proactively choosing recipes and prepping them in the mornings.

You are deciding what to put into yours and your family's body, and that makes all the difference in health and weight loss.

Dinner Slow Cooker Recipes

Typically, dinner is the biggest cooking challenge of the day. Everyone's home to eat the meal, but there's not much time to prepare it.

Utilizing a slow cooker allows you to prep food in the morning and let it cook throughout the day. Some slow cooker recipes require final touches, but that's nothing in comparison to whipping up an entire dinner!

The only thing you'll need to finish once you get home is the rice!

Breakfast Slow Cooker Recipes

While starting dinner before you even head out the door for the day can give you a huge leg up, there's really nothing like starting your day with a hot breakfast.

Set-and-forget one of these recipes before bed and you'll be woken up by the smell of breakfast ready to be served!

Slow Cooker Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal
