Check out Today's Great Salad Idea for your Weight Loss

What's in the fridge today? A lot of times, that's how I start looking at what I want to make a salad.
It's lunch time right now and I knew I had a variety of healthy things in there, so I started searching.

Here's what I found:
Butter lettuce.
Tomato.
Cucumber.
Baby carrots.
Gala apple.
Blackberries.

I like to put some fruit in my salads and when I toss it, it gets sweet and I don't need salad dressing. You can pack on an easy 100 calories with just a little bit of salad dressing. Check out how the salad turned out here:

Enjoy your food!

How to Incinerate Body Fat Like Crazy with Unique Fat Loss Recipes

Cooking when trying to lose body fat can be tricky, we all know that. Today I have really good news for you!

My friends Karine Losier and Dave Ruel spent the past year or so crafting the perfect "metabolic" recipe book.

I highly recommend this for your kitchen if you want to get leaner, do it faster, and have it taste BETTER than ever:

My TOP Fatloss Recipe Book--- click to see how tasty it is!

Quickly:

What is "metabolic cooking"?

Simply stated, it's a unique way of preparing food that combines nutrients specifically geared for melting off body fat FASTER than normal.

Here's what I really love about Metabolic Cooking:

1. The recipes are made from foods with a high Metabolic Thermo-Charge: more calories burned faster without losing taste...

2. They structured the cookbooks around their incredibly helpful "Metabolic Nutri-Profile"... this makes it SUPER easy to use...

3. It's been specifically designed to fight the Metabolic Adaptation Phenomenon: That is what happens when you are on a diet plan and you all of a sudden stop dropping body fat!

Taste, ease, and metabolism-boosting power.

You need nothing more.

Did You Know That Dietary Fat Promotes Weight Loss?

It doesn't seems right. Your natural thought is that you have to keep fat out of your diet so that you lose weight, right? Well, yes and no. Dietary fat is actually an essential nutrient. It can promote the loss of fat from your body.

If you eat carbohydrates, your body will break those carbs down and digest them. As your body goes through this process, it burns energy. If you eat proteins, it does the same.

If you consume dietary fat? It doesn't matter. Your body still breaks it down and digests it.

So what determines whether or not you gain weight? Energy that comes in to your body and energy leaving is your total energy balance.

One of the reasons that you want to eat fat is because dietary fat makes sure you aren't hungry for awhile. That's because fats take a long time to digest.

 If you have a non-fat meal, you will be hungry sooner. Just a few grams of fat will satisfy you for hours. 

You need to be making sure you are getting the right nutrients into your body. Dietary fats help with the absorption of minerals and vitamins in your body. Make sure you choose the right kind of fats, though.

Unsaturated fats and omega fats are the best to support your complete health. Here are some examples of bad fats and good fats:

Good fats are things like olive oils, nut butters and nuts, flax seeds and other seeds, fish, and one of my favorites, avocados.

Fried foods are one of the worst ways to get bad fat. Dairy with high fat in it, snack foods with high fat, high fat meats, and trans fats.

Remember that fats are dense calories so you do want to be aware of them. Make sure you are including good measures of vegetables in your diet.

I like to keep some of favorite nuts around for snacks. One of my favorite treats is a mix of pistachios, almonds, and cashews.

However, just like you don't want to open a bag of chips and sit and eat the whole bag (or eat chips at all), take a handful of nuts so you don't just keep eating them.

You can also choose coconut milk. How can you use coconut milk? You can add it to yogurt, oatmeal, or put into a smoothie. I have smoothie ideas here on the blog, so check them out too.

A good recommendation for fat loss is to make sure you are eating proteins, fats, and vegetables as the main part of your diet. Fruit and grains should be considered treats.

Don't pile fruits and grains up on your plate. Those are the foods that should be considered treats.

I hope you were able to understand the importance of healthy fats as part of your diet. Don't forget to include them for good weight loss because they targeting your fat.

What You Are Eating and Drinking To Lose Weight That's Actually Bad for You

There are a lot of myths out there about losing weight. There's also a lot of advice that we get which may be well-intentioned, but flat-out wrong. I'm going to show you some typical things that you are eating and drinking that you have been told are healthy, but just aren't.

Let's start out with a drink. You're done with your workout and you do like you see the athletes do on TV. You get a Gatorade. Do you know what the second ingredient is listed on the Gatorade bottle? It's high fructose corn syrup!

That high fructose corn syrup can lead to obesity, high blood pressure and more. Besides water, a great natural product you can use to replenish those minerals you've just sweated out is Rebound. You can find it below on the blog.

Next, let's look at waking up in the morning and having a good old bowl of healthy cereal. Cereal companies pay advertisers a lot of money to make their boxes look attractive and to tell you how healthy their cereal is.

When you look at the label, most cereals have a lot of sugar in each serving. Have you ever looked at what a serving size is? You usually have about 3 servings in your bowl.

That sugar will give your body hunger cravings. That's why you're hungry not soon after. What's the best kind of cereal to have? You want to check the label and make sure you are looking for low sugar and high fiber. Oatmeal, and I am talking about steel oats here, is your best bet.

What's wrong with yogurt? Did you know that most yogurt has tons of sugar? Like I said above, sugar will give you cravings and you will eat more. One of those small containers can have more than 20 grams of sugar!

I started eating Greek Yogurt because you get twice the protein and half the sugar of those other yogurt. My favorite way to have Greek yogurt? In a Smoothie with some protein powder, frozen fruit, ice, almond milk, and Stevia.

I bet you're also being told to eat whole wheat. Whole wheat grains in bread and pasta don't have nutrition. Why? Because when they are processed, the natural fiber and nutrition have been almost completely stripped out.

These are what they call complex carbs. These complex carbs get stored as fat in your body because they act like sugar. Guess which part of your body they get stored as fat first? Your midsection, as belly fat.

Whole wheat bread has to say 100% whole wheat on its label to make sure you are getting just that. What alternative do you have? Sprouted grains. Breads such as Ezekiel 4:9 are available in that variety.

I hope I have debunked some healthy food myths. I hope that I have also given you some healthy alternatives to help you with your weight loss. Remember, the healthiest food is always the one that doesn't come in a box.

Healthy Ways to Re Hydrate Your Body

When you sweat, you lose fluid and not just water. You lose those precious minerals that you have in your body. That's one reason why couch potatoes live 13 years longer than athletes. Athletes sweat more in 5 years than a normal person would in one. 

Athletes don't replace those minerals and are at more risk for nutritional deficiency diseases. At the extreme, when you become dehydrated you may experience fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. 

More commonly, when you start feeling dehydrated you get light headed or dizzy (that's me), sleepy, thirsty, and may have dry mouth.

Now let me share with you my favorite way to stay hydrated.

Water is great You should be drinking plenty of it daily. Just water will not replace those minerals you sweat out that I mentioned earlier. If you're going to drink bottled water, get some that is really pure like 360 Water.

We're all familiar with sports drinks, but most of them have tons of sugar and aren't healthy at all for you. Here's my favorite healthy choice. It's called Rebound FX. You'll get the minerals you need which we talked about, a natural balance of antioxidants, and you can pick from four great flavors. Unlike some popular high sodium sports drinks that may have a couple of nutrients, Rebound FX has 100!

Change Your Weight Loss Workout to 30 Minutes or Less

When I first heard about losing weight with the 7-Minute Muscle workout, I thought this was hocus pocus or a workout for freaks, not you and me. I was pleasantly surprised by what I found, though.  Jon Benson put together a fantastic program, for an everyday guy like me to a bodybuilder.

I do have a word of warning for you, though. When you first start reading, don't get scared away by all of the research in this. The workout is in here. If you don't want to get bogged down in the science of it, don't run away, go to the workout.

In a sentence, this workout is research-based. You will lose weight. You will lose fat because you are working out smarter. The exercises and system provided in here allow you to spend less time working out and more time doing what you want to do.

You literally, can, workout in 7 minutes a day.

As with all exercise programs, check with your doctor first to see if you are healthy enough for it. I also would suggest that if you are not in great shape, as many people aren't, just start a little easier and go at your level.

Jon goes into great detail on the "hows" and "whys." I said you could get lost in this, but what is really cool is how he gives you photos, detailed descriptions, and video links to show you how to do the exercises! This was awesome!

What I did with his system is add the 3-minute warm-up, the 7-minute workout, and the 9-minute cardio together for a daily workout. That's only 19 minutes of  exercise time each day. It's an amazingly focused way to workout which is why it is so effective.

In the time it takes me to get up, throw some workout clothes on, do these exercises, and warm down, I have spent only 30 minutes in all! So if you're spending hours at the gym not getting anywhere with your workout, check this out.

You can use this at the gym and not spend so much time there as well. You've got to go check out Jon Benson's "7 Minute Muscle" by Clicking Here

Lose Weight with Healthy Ice Cream

Hi everyone!

I was doing the "frig stare" the other day, wondering what to eat. You know, you open your refrigerator and look inside for something to eat just staring because you don't know what you want to eat?

I don't like to do this. I like to have a plan or a list on my frig of healthy ideas of food to eat. This happens to all of us from time to time, though doesn't it?

I saw some plain Greek Yogurt sitting there. I could have made a Smoothie - you can see some of my ideas here on the blog, for those. I did have a hankering for blueberries. I decided to have a snack with some of the blueberrries, Greek yogurt, and I put some Stevia in for sweetening.

But I also thought that I would like some ice cream later. I had enough leftover that I just put my Greek Yogurt container in the freezer with the blueberries and Stevia mixed in.

Now I had a healthy alternative for a snack later on! Healthy ice cream. Try it, you'll lose weight, or more importantly, lose body fat.

Healthy, Delicious Smoothies!

Here is one of my favorite Smoothie Recipes I recently discovered:

BLUE BOMBER SMOOTHIE

                                              1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

                                 1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt

                                   1  cup frozen blueberries

                                   Pinch of Stevia

                                   1 cup water

                                    5 ice cubes

                               Now blend and enjoy!

I made a little change to this recipe. Instead of water, I used almond milk. You can also add a drop of maple flavoring if you want. It's fun to experiment!

There are a bunch of great Smoothie recipes included in the Metabolic Cooking Cookbooks! Check them out by clicking here!
