Ounce for ounce, pork tenderloin is as lean as a skinless chicken breast. A 3-ounce portion of pork tenderloin contains less than 3 grams of fat and 120 calories. Pork tenderloin is an excellent source of protein, thiamine, vitamin B6, phosphorus and niacin.
Pomegranate-fig sauce – Sweet figs with a tang of pomegranate, this delicious sauce will transport you to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean. Pomegranate is both delicious and has anti-inflammatory effects that may protect against cancer and other chronic diseases.
Lebanese Lentil Rice – our healthy and delicious Lebanese rice – a mixture of red lentils, rice and orzo prepared in our home-made vegetable stock. Nutrient rich lentils contain the highest amount of protein originating from any plant. They are a great source of dietary fiber and also have a low amount of calories. Dietary fiber found food such as lentils helps in controlling blood sugar levels. Dietary fiber slows down the rate at which food is absorbed by the blood and as a result, maintains a consistent blood sugar level.
Honey Roasted Carrots – Carrots are tossed with olive oil and honey in this simple, all natural, and delicious side dish. Apart from being a natural sweetener, our honey comes from bees that primarily collect nectar from clovers. Clover honey has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Because of honey’s high sugar content, it may seem counterintuitive for diabetics to eat it. However, studies have shown that honey has a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels in diabetics. A 2014 review article published in the “Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders” reported that several studies have found that honey, when used in conjunction with anti-diabetic drugs, actually improves glycemic control. Suggesting that honey does not affect the body the same way that traditional table sugar does.
