Good Morning
In preparation for my 1 hour kick boxing class @ 10 am, I had my breakfast at 8 am in order for that food to be digested and not floating around in my bloodstream for immediate use for energy during my cardio session. This should force energy stores to go directly to fat burn.
Scale hasn't moved now in 2 days after a constant 1/2 pound weight loss. So starting today, cardio is daily and my fat burner/app suppressent is increased from 1 to 2. (btw - IMO I'm not convinced that fat burners really work, other than increasing your heart rate, which for some people can be dangerous, by adding caffeine. There are however, appetite suppresents that do work) I do not condone the use of FB for the general public and certainly NOT for extended periods of time - e.g. more than 6 weeks.
The link to the left is a clean eating cookbook I just purchased. The receipes look phenomenal and every recipe has a picture and most appear easy and quick to prepare. they even have a section on wine pairing! Tosca Reno, the author was over 200 pounds herself and embarked on a exercise and clean eating lifestyle to have her lose over 70 pounds, and became an Oxygen model and bikini competitor! So you can see why I have purchased her book! I'll report on the recipes themselves once I am able to eat them!!
Breakfast:
1/3 c old fashioned oats
mixed with 2/3 c egg whites (equiv 5-6 eggs)
tsp cinnamon (which regulates blood sugar levels and tastes great in oats)
1 tsp peanut butter powder (Bell Planatation http://www.bellplantation.com/)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Microwave 90 sec - stirring 1/2 way thru
Supplements
1 tsp Dymatize Glutamine mixed in Oats - muscle recovery http://www.answers.com/topic/glutamine see how glutamine is helpful for people undergoing chemotherapy and under sgnificanttress
CLA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugated_linoleic_acid which I highly recommend for its proven fat burning and cardic protection properties
B6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B6 helps in amino acid metabolism and oxygen levels, important for weight training. (taken 3x day with meals)
Multi Vitamin
Tyrosine http://tyrosine.com/ helps in appetite control, mood, positive impact on thyroid (taking 3x day with meals)
A personal journey from obesity to competition. Openly sharing my struggles, successes and emotions from being an obese food addict to training for my first body building competition, I hope to inspire and motivate individuals to realize that YOU can accomplish anything you truly desire. I will post pages on diet, exercise, supplements, weight loss surgery, and other health topics
