I'm not any particular diet, I am just counting calories here. I've done them all though. Weight watchers, LA Weightloss, Slimfast, South Beach, Dr. Phil, etc... etc... what works for me is keeping track of calories.

I love to cook. I'm allergic to chicken, turkey and shellfish so I'm limited. So, what are your favorite recipes. I made this last night:

Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin over roasted Asparagus wholegrain couscous.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 (2 pound) boneless pork tenderloin (or regular pork loin)
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, minced or more if you like garlic
1/2 cup veg broth or water

Glaze
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour
2T cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Couscous
1 cup whole grain couscous I use Rice Select - Whole Wheat Organic Couscous
Make it how the package tells you
add some of the glaze to taste
Rough chop roasted asparagus (I roasted it with some olive oil and garlic)

Directions:
Combine sage, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub over roast. Place in slow cooker with 1/2 cup water/broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. About 1 hour before roast is done, combine ingredients for glaze in small sauce pan. Heat and stir until mixture thickens. Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking. Serve with remaining glaze on the side.

I made double the glaze and added a few ladles of it to the couscous. I also shredded the pork and served it over the couscous and it was AH-MAY-ZING.

It came out to about 230 cal per serving for the pork and 168 for the couscous
