The Total 10 Italian Bowl Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4oz cooked ground turkey
- tomatoes, diced
- garlic, minced
- onions, diced
- basil
- 1t olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- zucchini noodles (see below)
Method:
Zucchini noodles are best made using a spiralizer, julienne slicer, or mandolin to end up with long, spaghetti-like noodles. If you don’t have one of these handy tools, just use a potato peeler to create long ribbons of raw zucchini. Enjoy as is, or cook gently on low heat to soften slightly — don’t overcook or you’ll have soggy noodles! Add remaining ingredients for a hearty, comforting pasta-like dish.

Total 10 Rapid Weight Loss Shopping List
I would like a list of more starchy vegetables. This diet is going to be easy to follow l hope.
Hi Diane! Starchy vegetables include corn, peas, potatoes, pumpkin/winter squash, plantain, parsnips, and yams/sweet potatoes. On this diet you are supposed to stick to non-starchy veggies only. Non-starchy vegetables are listed about halfway down on our Total 10 shopping list. I’ve found that when I’ve cut out carbs & starches, the first few days can be difficult and I have lots of cravings. Then my body adjusts and the cravings subside and the diet tends to be relatively easy to stick to. Hope that helps, good luck with it!
I always follow all your log, because it really helps me a lot on my diet.
Thank you Barbara, glad to hear you enjoy it!
