Here’s a good article from my partners over at Prograde Nutrition.

It answers this question perfectly:

“I’ve heard that eating more frequently will increase my Metabolism and help me lose weight.

Is this true? Why?”

low fat healthy recipe

We had a chance to try out one of the great recipes last night from Prograde’s healthy recipe e-book (see details below).  Coconut shrimp and also a vegetable red curry (not in the book) to go along with it (ignore the lousy iphone pic!)  I bought the biggest wild caught shrimp in the store (you should avoid farm raised fish, it has higher PCB levels, higher fat and less Omega 3′s, plus dyes and antibiotics).  The recipe said “lightly greased pan” so I used coconut oil which is stable under heat and is full of healthy fats (not to mention it goes great with coconut shrimp!)

Not everything was healthy though, I used white Jasmine rice which is what I had on hand, brown rice would have been a lot better with more fiber…I’m slowly replacing the bad with healthy substitutes.  Anyway, the dinner was fantastic, the shrimp tasted awesome and were low fat…except some of the good kind from the coconut oil ; )

So, make a healthy change today, maybe try out a new recipe!

If it were easy everyone would be walking around with a lean, sexy body.

But hey, it’s not in this world we live in today. Believe me, I understand all too well that there’s temptation around every corner.

Everywhere you look there’s fast food, junk food, chocolate, candy, ice cream, pizza…

And I know it tastes good. And I know when you get stressed your body craves it even more.

That’s why you have to have a plan. You have to know what you’re going to do to avoid those temptations. You have to plan your meals in advance.

Again, if this were easy everyone would be thin and in great shape. But they’re not.

The first thing to do is come to grips with reality. To accept the fact that getting the body of your dreams is going to take effort.

The second is to understand that it’s not going to be miserable. In fact, it’s going to be a LOT of fun.

When you exercise you feel awesome. Sure, the weight comes off. But you also feel stronger. You’re more alive. You can meet the demands of your day SO much easier.

How is that miserable?

And when you start eating healthier the same thing happens. It really, really is true: you are what you eat.

Now, take a second and really think about that.

What you are putting in your mouth is what your body is using to regenerate itself with all the time.

If you’re eating crappy food…

Get the picture ;-)

But don’t worry, I’ve got a really cool and inexpensive resource for you to help you out BIG TIME with your healthy eating.

My partners over at Prograde Nutrition have created this 197 Healthy and Delicious Fat Burning Recipes ebook. It’s only $4.95 and I highly recommend it to make healthy weight loss much easier on you.

fitkettlebell.getprograde.com I’ve found a great source for all natural supplements like multi-vitamins, fish oil, antioxidants, energy bars etc. I’ve been on a nutrition kick lately since my diet has always been my weak link so I’m slowly fixing it. I’ve been taking the Prograde multivitamins and EFA Krill oil since I’ve returned. I think you’ll be impressed when you check out their website and list of ingredients.  Today only, their anti-aging supplement is an extra 20% off! See below:

Subject: Do Superfoods Prevent Aging?

It seems like everytime you go to the grocery store checkout you see another magazine article on the latest superfood. So when I got this update from my partners over at Prograde I knew I had to share it with you.

****

Just how “super” are these superfoods you hear about all the time now?

Are they all they’re cracked up to be?

Or are they just hype?

How many of them do you have to eat?

How often?

Can they really make you younger?

I explain it all right here: http://fitkettlebell.getprograde.com/anti-aging-care.html
