Haylie Pomroy's NOMATO Sauce
In many of my plans, you will find tomatoes in a variety of decadent and delicious recipes. But nothing says you have to eat them every day of your life, and for the Metabolism Revolution, I have strategically pulled this fruit/vegetable to allow other foods to shine. Never fear—we are going to be cooking together for a long, long time, and when you are on the 4 Life plan to maintain your weight loss (or if you were trying some my other plans, like the Fast Metabolism Diet), tomato are A-OK.
