Ingredient Highlights in this Recipe 

• Pork belly: Eating pork is a great way to get fat and protein with no carbs. Pork provides many vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B6 and B12, plus zinc, thiamine, iron, and phosphorus. Pork contains all nine essential amino acids needed for optimal growth and development [1].
• Eggs: Like pork, this superfood is an excellent source of protein and fat, plus many important vitamins and minerals. Eggs also contain all the essential amino acids humans need. Egg consumption has been shown to support weight loss and reduce the risk of heart disease, strokes, and eye disorders [2]. 
• Vegetables: Spinach, bell peppers, and onions pack a powerful punch of nutrients, especially vitamin C. Vitamin C has been shown to protect against heart diseases, prenatal health issues, vision disorders, and immune system deficiencies [3].
