According to Innerbody, fruits and vegetables have been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer; and whole grains have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and improve digestive health. Proteins help support muscles, skin, and cartilage. Dairy helps strengthen bones and maintain healthy blood pressure, while oils contain essential fatty acids and Vitamin E. A healthy stir fry contains vegetables, protein, and oil, and provides a healthy balance of nutrients.
Are Stir Fries Good for Weight Loss?
Stir fries, if made properly, can be great for weight loss. They are packed with vegetables and protein, which help you feel full and satisfied. As with anything, the secret to healthy stir fry recipes for weight loss is in the ingredients. And it’s not just about what’s in it, what’s not in it matters too. When you order stir fry from a restaurant, it often contains MSG or is cooked in excess heavy oils. But, you can even enjoy take-out stir fry without derailing your weight loss goals if you opt for versions that contain steamed vegetables.

If you’re looking for a healthy stir fry weight loss recipe, you’ll enjoy this one. Because it uses simple ingredients and very little oil, it is considered one of our weight loss stir fry recipes.

What is the Secret to a Successful Stir Fry?
There’s a reason woks are the preferred pan for making stir fry. They have a large surface area and hold heat well, which allows stir fry to cook quickly. A hot pan and short cooking time are the secrets to a good stir fry. If you don’t have a wok, use a cast-iron skillet or another heavy pan. Prep all your ingredients ahead of time so you can quickly add and remove them as needed. And when you add your ingredients, put them in in order of cook time, starting with the ingredients that need to cook the longest. If you’d like to know more, this article has more great tips on cooking the perfect stir fry, but the most important things to remember are preparation, heat, and timing.
What Low Carb Veggies Can I Add to My Stir Fry?
If you’re looking for a low carb stir fry recipe with more veggies, you may want to check out our Xyngular Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry recipe. That Xyngular recipe features a chicken stir fry that uses a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. The corn, carrots, green beans, and peas are an easy way to add more vegetables without adding a lot of carbs.
What Can I Use Instead of Soy Sauce in Stir Fry?
If you’re looking for an alternative to soy sauce, you may want to try fish sauce instead. Both soy and fish sauce are designed to enhance the flavor of food. If you’d like to avoid sauces altogether, you can opt for the original flavor enhancer—salt. Soy sauce is known for its saltiness, so to get a similar effect, without the extra ingredients, add a little extra salt to your recipe. While you may miss some of the depth of flavor soy sauce offers, you might enjoy the clean flavors even more.
