I’ve got a fast & easy recipe for you today that is perfect for when you are feeling like a sweet treat or are in need of some comfort food but you do not want an entire cake or a big tray of brownies on the kitchen counter, tempting you every time you see it, (I know I certainly don’t need that!!)
This is one of my favourite go-to recipes on a busy day because it only has five ingredients and it is super fast and easy. To make it even easier, I use the food processor to prepare the vegetables.
These are my favourite vegetables to use, but really, you can use any vegetables you like, and if you want to make it vegan, you can use a can of black beans instead of the meat, (I actually like it better with made with the black beans!)
You have been perfect with your ‘diet’ for weeks now and you have been exercising consistently as well going to the gym most days of the week when suddenly you get that feeling, like you just need to have a piece of chocolate or a cookie. One won’t hurt right? Now you find yourself feeling guilty because you have completely ruined your perfect diet, might as well have another one then, next thing you know the whole packet is gone.
I have a veggie packed recipe to share with you today!
This is my spin on zucchini slice. I love zucchini slice, I like to make it on the weekend or when I have a day off, slice it up into portions and freeze it so I have a healthy meal ready to take to work, or after a busy day when I don’t feel like cooking.
To make this recipe even easier to prepare, I used my food processor to grate the zucchini, carrots, and broccoli. You can use a hand grater if you don’t have a food processor it will just take a bit longer.
Have you ever noticed how some goals make you feel like you’re at the mercy of outside forces, like how your clothes fit or the scales, while other goals put you firmly in the driver’s seat?
You can’t directly CONTROL the end result. For example, you can’t actually control “losing 20kg” even if you wanted to.
But what you can control is the actions you need to take to make it happen - like adjusting your nutrition and changing your workouts (among other things).
Creating action based goals are not only great for your confidence and building momentum, but they will also give you clear benchmarks for success.
I have been working with Danielle since January, she has been working hard for her results and has had a few ups and downs along her journey as she is a working mum to two very full-on little boys. So as you can imagine she does not have a lot of spare time to dedicate to working out or preparing meals, we have had to make sure that her training program fit into her busy schedule and that she had some go-to healthy meals that are quick and easy to prepare.
Calorie counting can definitely be a useful tool for you to use, but is it right for you? There are many benefits to it, which you can read about here, but there can also be some negatives as well. I am going to go over these for you so you can make up your own mind as to whether it would be beneficial for you to use as part of your health and fitness journey or not.
Who doesn’t love a good omelette? seriously, I think breakfast foods are the best - and not just for breakfast either, sometimes I like to eat them for lunch and dinner too. In fact, my favourite words to see on a cafe or restaurant menu is ‘all-day breakfast’.
Here I am sharing an omelette recipe that is not only super tasty, it’s also very easy to make and it is full of vegetables, protein and healthy fats.
In this post I am going to write about the benefits of counting calories to help you reach your goals.
Counting calories and tracking your intake gives you a good picture of where your are currently at compared to where you need to be to achieve your goal. A lot of people eat more than what they realize, and before you start making changes to your eating habits, it is important to know where you are starting from.
I will always remember when I first started strength training. It was about six months before my wedding. Like just about every bride to be, I decided that I needed to get onto shape for the big day. Not that I was overweight by any means at all. In fact, I was already in pretty good shape, I just wanted to 'tone up' a bit so I would look better in my wedding dress and photos.
