muffintop-less: MY RICH CHOCOLATE PROTEIN MUG BROWNIE <3 Muffintopless INGREDIENTS 1 Scoop Chocolate Casein Protein Powder (*see below for substitution instructions) 1 Egg White 1 TB Coconut Flour 1 TB Baking Cocoa 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/4 Cup Water or Milk of Choice (I recommend SugarFree Vanilla Coconut Milk) TOPPINGS TB Natural PB or PB2 A few dark chocolate chips *Other toppings could include nuts, sliced fruit, almond butter, shredded coconut (the list goes on!) DIRECTIONS: Mix all brownie ingredients in a bowl until it’s thick and well-stirred. Spray a mug with nonstick spray. Add brownie mixture to mug, then cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 30sec to a minute (I went with 45 seconds). Plop onto a plate and add toppings. Enjoy! * If you use any other protein powder besides casein, it will give a different consistency which I cannot vouch for. Casein is very thick and makes this mug cake dense and rich.

hydenspark: Run Forrest, RuuuuuuuunNew to the world of fitness, tired of paying hefty gym memberships or feel like you need to breathe in the wonderful outdoors while you workout? All these scenarios can be solved by the exceedingly refreshing idea of running! Done with the right attitude and determination, running can be your personal escape from the clutter of your daily life and is also a wonderful means of workout to keep heart diseases, diabetes and strokes far at bay. Furthermore, running also contributes in terms of weight loss and mood regulation! You will be surprised at how mood lifting running can actually turn out to be. With the breeze in your hair, rain in your face, sun on your back, your heart pumping and the blood rushing, running is a quick fix to a lot of problems!Here is the newbies guide to one of the freest and most effective forms of mental therapy. Get the right running shoes - Here is one important running for beginners tip: Pick the right equipment. Fortunately running does not entail the usage of any equipment, other than the right pair of shoes! More often than not, we tend to pick up whatever shoes are lying around at home and go running in them. The new runners guide explicitly demands getting the right shoes. Usage of shoes that are not suited to your feet can lead to injuries and this is where one of our most important running for beginner’s tips comes in! The correct way to go about this situation is to visit a shoe store where expert salespeople can assess your foot and running style and provide you with the appropriate shoes. Start slow - If you have not been exercising for a while, or active for that matter, it is better if you start slow. Every new runner’s guide should consist of this tip on running for beginners: Do not think running too much, too soon and too fast is the way to go! This running mistake is usually made by people who are new runners and it leads to injuries like runners knee. Hence, being an important point of information in our guide to running for beginners! It is essential that people who are new to the activity start off with a short walk, which increases to a jog and then a run. Throughout this process, the distance that is being run and the speed should both increase at a moderate and reasonable pace so that there is no additional stress on the body structure. Baby steps - Another tip on running for beginners is to avoid taking long strides. This refers to taking longer strides than normal or landing on one’s heel in such a way that the foot is way ahead of the body’s center of gravity. Beginner runners tend to think that over striding increases the effectiveness and speed of their exercise when in fact it causes a loss of energy and may lead to injuries like shin splints. Keep hydrated - Most importantly, an incredibly common and highly dangerous mistake is when runners consume less fluid than the amount required. Of all the tips on running for beginners, this is probably the most beaten about one! People tend to underestimate the amount of fluids their body is losing and want to prevent side stitches hence taking in less fluid than required. This can lead to dehydration which is very harmful for the body. A runner needs to gauge the amount of fluid he is losing and regulate his intake accordingly. The average recommend amount is 500 to 700 millilitres of non-caffeinated liquid or water an hour before the run and 100 to 200 millilitres right before the run. Sports drinks like Gatorade are also recommended so as to replace the minerals lost during sweating.

muffintop-less: HAWAIIAN SWEET POTATO SKINS INGREDIENTS: 4 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed well and patted dry 1 lb kale, stemmed 7 oz low-sodium no-added-nitrate ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 6 oz shredded low-sodium mozzarella cheese, divided 1 cup cubed pineapple 4 green onions, trimmed and minced INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce each potato several times with a fork and transfer directly to rack in center of oven. Bake until soft, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet on medium. Rinse kale well; do not shake or pat dry. Chop coarsely and add to skillet. Cover and cook, turning occasionally with tongs, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 375°F. Transfer potatoes to a cutting board, carefully halve lengthwise and scoop flesh into a large bowl, being careful not to scrape skins. (TIP: If potatoes are hot, use oven mitts to hold in place while cutting.) Use a potato masher to mash flesh well. Stir in ham, 4 oz mozzarella and pineapple. Spoon mixture into skins and top with remaining 2 oz mozzarella, dividing evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, until mozzarella is golden brown. Remove from oven and top with onions, dividing evenly. Divide potatoes and kale among serving plates. Recipe found at Clean Eating Mag

eatcleanmakechanges: almondbuttertoast: ever-upward: I love chocolate milk, and everyone knows that it is great for building muscle after a workout, but the syrups and powders you get from the store are filled with high fructose syrup and chemicals. So I figured that I’d share my recipe (if you can call it that) for healthier chocolate milk. It’s super easy so you have no excuse not to switch over from the processed stuff! Healthy Chocolate Milk! Unsweetened Cocoa powder (I used Hersey’s brand) Honey Milk Add a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder to a glass. Add honey. Mix until you have a paste consistency. Add milk and stir. Enjoy! OMG THIS IS PURE GENIUS!!! I WILL USE THIS!!!! LOLXD love a good recipe….

eatmoreof: Protein! Why it’s important: Helps with weight loss - Protein helps you stay fuller for longer. Amino acid source - Your body can’t produce some essential amino acids, so you need to get them through your diet (via protein!) Sources Vegan Options: Tofu - Low in calories and fat. High in protein. Beans - Quinoa (“keen-wah”) and edamame higher in protein than say, kidney beans (more on beans and their protein content here). Beans are a great alternative to meat, especially because they’re so much lower in fat. Tempeh -  If you don’t know what tempeh is, it’s basically soy in a cake-like form. It has a different flavor and texture from tofu. It’s high in calcium and protein.  Almonds - almonds alone aren’t enough protein for your diet, but they’re great for snacks. Other Options: Beef - Grass-fed beef has more fatty acids and nutrients. It’s also healthier to eat than factory-raised beef. Stick with a lean beef. Pork Tenderloin - Much lower in fat than beef. Chicken - Organic chicken is extremely lean and has more essential fatty acids than factory raised chicken. Wild salmon - Eat only wild salmon. Farm-raised salmon can be diseased, contain high levels of toxins and mercury, and are not as rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Tuna fish Eggs - Although egg whites are leaner, whole eggs are great for you too! Eating whole eggs are as natural as eggs come and are high in nutrients. Non-fat Greek Yogurt - Stay away from the flavored ones/regular yogurt. They’re extremely high in sugar. Greek yogurt is really high protein and good fats. It also has much less sugar/carbohydrates. Eat them with  pureed/mashed fruit instead of the fruit mix-ins that might come with it. Milk - Skim, soy, and almond milk are high in protein and low in fat. Milk can also be a great source of calcium. All this information came from Mark’s Daily Apple. It’s a great site for info on fitness and eating clean.

7 Healthy Foods That Will Fill You Up

  • Bananas - If you reach out for a banana when you feel hungry instead of an empty calorie snack, you’ll nourish your body and you’ll be ingesting way less fat and sugar than many snacks.
     
  • Eggs - As long as you’re not eating 12 of them in one week, eggs are good for you.
     
  • Almonds - Just one handful of almonds will keep you full for a long time because they are great at suppressing appetite.
     
  • Avocados - It contains good fats (monounsaturated fatty acids) and it contains protein that will fill you up nicely
     
  • Peanut Butter - You can easily find peanut butter that contains only 100% roasted peanuts (you can buy the organic and non-organic kinds). There are no hydrogenated oils, sugar or salt added to the peanut butter. This is a healthy option.
     
  • Oatmeal - Is a great super food because it’s low in sugar, high in fiber and it’s so quick to prepare. 
     
  • Apples - Packing an apple for your daily snack will not only add one fruit/vegetable portion to your daily recommended intake and the fiber will fill up your stomach
