The Fame of Health and Fitness

38 DAYS OUT WAS DELICIOUS!

Today’s meal:

1. Pancakes (egg whites, cottage cheese, MAGNUM vanilla isolate, chia seeds, oats +coconut oil)) + one of Leslie’s CleanNutButterCups
2. Two hard boiled whole eggs, melody grape tomatoes, cucumber
3. Brown rice and shrimp with Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and Bragg, and baby carrots
4. Banana, Dara’s chocolate pudding (+ crunchy PB) and Ezekiel Original cereal
5. Pancakes
6. Turkey, onion, garlic, mushroom, and tomato sauce stir-fry + CleanNutButterCup

Food is my fuel. I enjoy every bite, feel satisfied, and never feel weighed down. Don’t ever deprive your body of food. All food is important but it always seems that people restrict two main types of food: carbs and healthy fats. You need these!

Diets and starvation don’t work and if you find temporary ‘success’ just know that this will all come to an end and when the end arrives you will have done damage to your system. Treat yourself with respect and love and give your body what it needs. Practice clean eating and you will see a difference in how you look and feel. Eat clean for health, not to lose weight. Focusing on eating clean for health benefits instead of weight-loss is what helped me stay focused on making this a lifestyle. If you’re not already eating clean and begin to, you will soon notice that losing weight and inches is a side effect, in addition to increased energy, happiness, and confidence.

Did you know before I started to eat clean that I thought taking a nap after dinner was normal? It’s not.

Get on board people, stop looking for a quick fix and start eating wholesome foods.

It’s time to start living!

95 Days Out: Today’s Meals!

Because I believe in saving time and making things simple, I like to carry over some of the food I made on Sunday, hence, “food prep”.

My meals today may appear similar in nature but my program today varies from yesterday. Just like yesterday I have created these meals based on the program my coach has developed.

In no particular order:

• flax&banana pancakes with almond butter
• flax&banana pancakes
• flax&banana pancakes
• brown rice, extra lean ground turkey, Brussels sprouts, carrots
• brown rice cake, peanut nutter, bell peppers, tofu, sauteed spinach, tomato sauce

NOTE: Pancakes are easiest to take when you’re busy, plus I really like them : )

96 Days Out: MEALS

My “diet” has not necessarily changed yet but when it does I will show you what it looks like compared to today. I selected and created these meals according to the program that my coach has developed.

These meals can be eaten in any order:

• pancakes
• sprouted grain english muffin with PB, mini light Babybel, apple, almonds

Healthy Recipe Challenge #1 via thefameofhealth

Chicken Linguine Braggfredo

Ingredients: Makes 1 serving
- 3oz whole wheat linguine (3 servings of starchy carbs)
- 3oz of chicken (1 serving of protein)
- 0.50oz of Light Baby Bell Cheese (0.25 serving of dairy)
- 35g of Fat Free Cottage Cheese (0.25 serving of dairy)
- 1 TBSP Bragg All Purpose Seasoning Soy Sauce
- Fresh Ground Pepper
- 50g broccoli (0.50 serving vegetable)
- 32.5g of Red Bell Pepper (0.25 serving of vegetable)
- 1 clove garlic

This recipe was actually really good. Maybe I shouldn’t phrase it that way as though I didn’t expect it to be. The sauce for this dish was really easy to make and had great taste. All the remaining ingredients were things I would normally cook with and are relatively inexpensive.

Being that I am a bachelor and I like my life to be as easy as possible when it comes to eating healthy I made a much larger version of this recipe so I can enjoy it for a few days to come.

As for cooking time and prep…also relatively simple and quick. Get the noodles and chicken started first and while those are cooking you should be able to get your veggies and sauce finished up and be ready to combine it all.

Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars. I could have used a little more of a spicy kick. Next time I might add a little liquid smoke, sriracha, or chili powder to the sauce and see how it turns out. I also think that it would be pretty easy to substitute any number of veggies or types of protein with this. I will likely experiment with some variations of those as well.

This is my very own recipe that I created. I’m not naturally a chef in the kitchen but if there are 2 clean recipes I’m proud of its my pancakes and this Braggfredo dish!

You have to try it! Thanks again Trever for testing this out and posting about it.
