Special Notes:
I personally don’t like cayenne or chili pepper, even a little bit of it makes the meal unsatisfying so I don’t use that. However, you classic chili has cayenne and many people do enjoy it. If you want to make this a low-carb meal.
If you want this to be a lower-carb meal than take out the carrots and tomatoes and add in organic chicken or vegetable broth and have it as more of a beef and veggie stew. You can also substitute any ground meat of choice and top with cilantro, avocado, and raw cheese or full fat organic pasture-raised sour cream

Dr Jockers Comments:
If you are looking for a great tasting, nutrient dense, winter time chili than this paleo chili recipe is for you! This is not a low-carb, keto recipe so do not confuse it as such! It is made with anti-inflammatory ingredients and offers a lot of high-quality nutrients but will not improve your fat burning.
People have been asking for a great chili recipe for the winter time and this is a good one. It is made with real whole foods that offer a lot of high-quality nutrients. This recipe will provide warmth, texture and flavor that you will enjoy!
I am a fan of periodic carb backloading for individuals who are highly active and want to improve their muscle mass and strength. This is a fantastic carb backloading recipe to use that will leave you feeling warm and satisfied in the winter time.
One caveat is to be sure to find canned tomatoes that are organic, do not contain BPA in the can container and have no sugar added. The links in the recipe ingredients above fit that criteria and you can order them off of Amazon or find them at your local health food store. I also recommend finding the highest quality grass-fed beef from your local health food store, butcher, local farmer or you can order it from a great company like US Wellness Meats.
