Fat Burning Cannellini Omelet

So tasty. 

Especially with a dash of Lemon Pepper seasoning.

Some fresh, minced garlic clove mixed with white kidney beans (Cannellini).

Whipped into two eggs.

Cooked like a pancake in Grapeseed Oil.

According Jackie Warner's "Lose 10 Pounds in 10 Days" book

"I find beans to be the best weight-loss secret in the world - thanks a to lysine, an amino acid. Lysine plays a significant role in fat burning and muscle building. It works by helping the body build muscle protein... It can also enhance calcium absorption and retention, which not only is important for bone health, but can also aid calcium's ability to regulate body weight." (Pg 218)

Anyways, I had some left over mixture of Cannellini beans with a minced garlic (-is that basically a shortened way of saying: small, tiny slices of a whole garlic clove), stirred in.

Bean Mixture Recipe: 

One average can size of Cannellini Beans

One small Galric Clove (peeled and diced)

About 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Shredded Cheese

[NOTE: You do not need the whole bean mixture for one Omlet - in fact it serves at least 4-6 possibly more. I have not actually tried that many servings, because I used the bean mixture for something else and just had leftovers that I did not know what to do with.]

Cannellini Omelet Recipe: (in a cereal bowl)

2 eggs

1 tablespoon of Cannellini Bean mixture

Dash of lemon pepper

2-4 T Grapeseed or Olive Oil for pan ( I used a cast-iron pan over medium heat)

Pour Omlet mix into oiled pan and cook on one side till egg mixture begins to bubble then flip over and cook the next side a for a few minutes.

It is about 365 calories (because if the oil that soaks into it when cooking).

Ok, so I need to share this, it is also from Jackie Warner's book:

"Beans  are packed with soluble fibre" and that my friend "helps the body to rid itself of cholesterol through the digestive tract."

Kidney, pinto, adzuki beans, as well as, red lentils and yellow split peas, are helpful in balancing estrogen levels.

"The Lysine in beans helps in recovery from injuries, as well as assisting the body's production of hormones, enzymes and antibodies."

Jackie Warner said "I eat two eggs with the yolks every day of my life," that's how much she believes in the fat burning power that eggs have. Why? Because "a huge part of eggs' fat burning power lies in the fact that the yolk contains lecithin, which breaks down fat in the body."

"Since eggs contain all the amino acids that are needed to build keratins, a group of tough, fibrous proteins that from the structural framework of certain cells, they strengthen hair, skin, and nails."

Eggs are also supportive in brain activity, like "sleeping, memory, attention, and mood."

Now I am even more excited to eat this stuff, especially because I know what it is doing in my body. Cause, for me (and maybe I am strange, but), it is far more motivating to eat it just by knowing exactly why it is good for you. So I hope my research has helped you too! ;)

Sweat.

Dripping with sweat.

Heart Racing.

Catch my breath.

Go hard again.

Pace around, let the heart slow down for half a minute.

Go hard some more.

Body revving as a fat burning machine.

Go as fast as you can, stopping to catch your breath and let your heart slow down for half a minute to 2 minutes. Keep it hard for you body and you body will thank you for it later.

Foggy Business is a combo of a frog push-up and vertical leap. Squat like a frog, tip upper body forward putting hand on ground, do a push-up, pushing your arms into extension and hands off the ground so you can be in upright frog squat to do a frog jump in place, slapping your hands on your thighs as they come up toward the chest.

I need another me to do the filming and photo taking of myself doing the exercises for you...someone should figure out how to duplicate persons.

Anyways, more on the Froggy Business (which is exactly like Zuzkalight's Monkey Business, except with a frog push-up in place of a monkey push-up - here http://www.zuzkalight.com/workouts/300-rep-online-workout/)

So after doing the frog push-up go quickly into an in place frog jump (slapping your thighs into your hands that are about chest level - this jump is not supposed to be insanely high, just nice hope) and then go back down into frog push-up and repeat! (But hey, if you want to go for the insanely high leap do it!)

For the Mountain Climbers, every other other knee to chest  is a mini push-up, equalling one rep.

So when you bring left knee toward left elbow do a mini push-up and then then as your arms straighten back up bring your right knee to you right elbow. That is one rep. Then as you bring left knee to left elbow do another mini push-up and as your arms straighten bring right knee to right elbow and alternate that as fast as you can!

Water, Why are You Such Good Medicine, Again?

Sometimes, or some days i just need a little reminder as to why I need to drink water. Because, let's face it, I forget! I have so many other things on my mind.

I hardly have time to even just relax and drink the water, cause I forget to drink my water sometimes. Granted I always get at least one liter of water a day, I know I feel best with three liters, and I know that a lot of people don't even get one liter of water a day - I mean water that 's not tainted or snuck into juicy fruits or tea or coffee.

I just had to add a picture of people from the eighteenth century drinking tea, which is how they got their water intake, since their water was dirty and unsafe to drink.

Hence, I do count my daily teas into my daily goal of three liters a day, but honestly, I can't drink my tea without Stevia (it's sweetly amazing and zero calorie organic, natural sweetener from a stevia leaf), but something about pure water makes water medicine to sometimes psychotic digestive system or simply aiding in faster calorie burn or in strengthening in you immune system to ward of diseases or illnesses.

I am pretty sure I should have come down with the bug my three roommates had a few weeks ago, but I did not get sick.

Nope! I stayed healthy, drinking at least two liters of water a day! And exercising and eating veggies, eggs, veggies, and fruit for the most part. (Yes, I had plenty of treats, probably one treat of some sort everyday - we can't forget the treats!) ;)

So I came across this article that gave a reminder of why we should drink water: 

It Hydrates Your Cells

After a long night's rest, it is common to wake up dehydrated. Hydration first thing in the morning is important, because it increases the rate at which new muscle and blood cells are produced. A hydrated body allows for a healthy flow of oxygen, allowing you to stay alert and energized.

It Detoxes the Body

Water, especially lemon water, is a natural detox. Drinking water flushes out toxins and impurities. Not only does this keep you healthy, but it also leads to clear skin. Water purifies the colon too, allowing for the proper absorption of nutrients. While a plain glass of water is great, adding lemon increases the rate of urination in the body, maximizing enzyme function and stimulating the liver for detoxification.

It Aids in Weight Loss

Consider water a wake-up call for your digestive system! Drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning boosts your metabolism heading into the day. In fact, research shows that an increase in water consumption leads to an increase in the rate at which people burn calories as opposed to storing them as fat. Water also fills you up, curbing your appetite. Chances are that starting your day off with a healthy glass of water instead of a sugary latte will help you make smarter choices throughout the rest of your day.

It Prevents Sickness

If you're getting sick often, it could be that you're not drinking enough water. Water plays a crucial part in maintaining a healthy a lymphatic system. When this system is balanced, your body can properly fight off infection. Studies have also shown that dehydration leads to higher cortisol levels and, in turn, stress and sickness.
