Answer 4

wow - easiest pork tenderloin you'll ever make:

put the pork tenderloin into the crockpot
add some seasoning (whatever you like - but I use a dry creole blend)
put the lid on and heat on low overnight (10 - 14 hours)

(no, you don't even need to add liquid - but if you prefer, add a small amount (1/4 cup) of apple juice or chicken broth)

When that pork is done, it will shred when you rake a fork across it - now you can use it for sandwiches, or even better, cut it up and use it in a super-quick stir fry! YUMMY!

Another thing you can do at the end of the cooking time is empty a can of crushed pineapple in (juice and all) with about a cup of minute rice and a dash of soy sauce - put the lid back on, give it another 15 minutes or so on high heat, and you've got a tasty sweet & sour deal going on.

Enjoy!

Answer 10

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMn01

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
