Melt Fat over the Winter

Good Morning,

Yes it is early! I rushed at 6:00am to get my son the "Carey Price" medallion for his collection. Thank goodness only 1 week left!

So for the lack of postings, I have been very busy (thank goodness) and had minor surgery (all is well).

It is getting mighty cold out there.

This is the time of year the weight slowly creeps on, we are less active and looking for comfort foods.

You can still melt the fat over the winter with www.fitbodybyphyl.com - 6 Weeks to your Best Body Program.

Remember to eat carbs with your meals, choose the ones that will satisfy you and stick to your portions.

Soups are awesome, add beans, lots of veggies and chicken, or not, if you are vegetarian.

1 full cup is a portion so add lots of flavor and spice (cayenne pepper helps burn fat by heating up your metabolism) The more herbs and spice, the more satisfying and filling!

I just bought this amazing cookbook "Recipes for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet" by Raman Prasad It is filled with amazing low carb recipes. You do have to watch the fat, It does not give you the nutritional breakdown.

I will be sending you recipes already modified!

Remember to get out there, walk the dog, the kids your spouse! Do your workouts, and work hard, your body will reward you!!!

Here is my quote for the day:

"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew."

Saint Francis de Sales


This is so true. We take care and have patience with everyone, family, co-workers, friends but what about ourselves? Why do we come last?

The most important thing to remember is that everyday we have the opportunity to start again.

Here is a hearty and delicious recipe for the whole family:

Mom"s Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 large carrots
8 shallots
4 medium-sized celery stalks
15 fresh sage leaves (no sage use basil)
10 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2c chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a baking dish.
Place the chicken in the baking dish. Pierce the chicken with a fork and rub with olive oil, salt, pepper. Set aside.
Peel the carrots. Cut the carrots, shallots and celery into small round slices
Mix these in a bowl with the sage, thyme and walnuts
Place the mixture inside the cavity of the chicken and scatter it around the dish. If possible, cut between the skin of the chicken and the meat underneath and stuff some of the mixture in between these two layers at intervals
Bake the chicken for about 1 hour, or until cooked through

4-6 servings.


ENJOY!

Wishing you Health & Fitness of Body, Mind & Spirit,
