We’ve been eating low carb for awhile now. It’s more like a way of living, not a diet. My husband has been struggling with his weight since he retired, he’s moving less… much less.

To cut down on the carbohydrates we rarely eat potatoes, pasta, or any high carb foods. . We cut back on the carbs that are easy to digest, like pop, donuts, white bread, and my personal favorite candy. 

Notes 

Make sure the chicken breasts are patted dry before cooking.

You can use either fresh or canned plum tomatoes. I used canned.

6 ounces of spinach is one of the small clam shell containers.
