Pork isn’t often suggested as part of a bodybuilding diet, but pork tenderloin is often very lean with little fat to trim. This recipe isn’t one we’d suggest when preparing for a competition, but in the offseason it is a nice change of flavors and is very easy to make. Please, do not be discouraged by the ingredient list, trust us, the crock pot makes this simple.

- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp paprika
