Looking for a Healthy Pizza Option

Paleo Pizza
Ingredients:
2 eggs
2 cups almond meal (pulse almonds in food processor or buy at the health food store)
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp Italian seasoning (use ready made or add- garlic, rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, etc...)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup tomato sauce (no sugar added)
Favorite pizza toppings (leftover chicken and veggies are a great option)
Parchment paper (this keeps your pizza from sticking to the pan)

Method:
Preheat oven to 365 degrees. Beat eggs, add almond meal, olive oil, seasonings, and sea salt. Mix together and form a ball, spread on a baking pan covered in parchment paper. (Tip: if dough is sticky, put another piece of parchment paper on top or use a small amount of olive oil on your hands). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until dough starts to brown around the edges.

Take dough out of oven and spread tomato sauce evenly. Sprinkle with italian seasonings if desired. Add toppings of your choice. Return pizza to oven and bake for another 20 minutes.

Should you Eat That?

Eat Clean to be Lean
You want to lose weight, and have been trying hard for months without success.

You've heard fitness people refer to 'eating clean' but what does that really mean?

The labels on hundreds of different food items proclaim to be 'healthy' but can you trust labels? There are so many misconceptions when it comes to what constitutes as clean eating.

What are you eating wrong?

Let's dispel the myths and outline your simple, straightforward 3-step guide to eating clean and watch as the pounds melt off.
Step One: Steer Clear of Packaged Foods
Your worst enemy in the fight against weight gain is packaged foods. Yes, even those packages that are described as ‘healthy'.

Think of packaged food in these 3 categories:
  • Sweets: Cookies, brownies, muffins, cupcakes, donuts, candy and desserts. These packaged items are laced with sugar and bad fats, and lack any viable nutrient that your body actually needs. All the empty calories from these items will end up deposited on your waist and hips as stubborn fat.

    There's never a good reason to eat these so-called foods.
  • Processed Grains: Crackers, breads, cereal, chips, instant oatmeal, energy bars, and popcorn. This category is tricky because many of the packages are labeled as ‘heart healthy' or ‘low fat'. The reality is that packaged, processed grains contain sugar and more carbohydrates than you need while striving to lose weight.

    If you have a weight loss goal then stay away from processed grains.

  • Whole Grains: Brown rice, wild rice, whole oats, sprouted grain pasta, and sprouted grain bread. Here's a category of packaged foods that you are able to include in your clean diet. You don't, however, have a free pass to eat as much of these items as you'd like. Whole grains, while healthy and acceptable, are very calorie-dense. This means that a little bit goes a long way.
Eat whole grains in moderation in order to meet your weight loss goals.

Step Two: Fill Up on Fresh Foods

Fresh vegetables and fruits are a huge part of your clean diet.

The nutrients and fiber found in these natural food items are vitally important for your weight loss journey and your overall health.

Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables in all shapes, sizes and colors.

The only ones that you need to limit are vegetables that are high in starch, such as potatoes and corn, and fruits that are very high in sugar, like melons.

Step Three: Get Plenty of Protein
The cornerstone of your clean diet should be lean protein.

Great examples are chicken breast, albacore tuna, lean ground turkey, white fish fillet, whole beans, tempeh and egg whites.

Protein is what holds your clean eating plan together, for two reasons.

  1. Protein satiates your hunger, keeping you full and keeping your blood sugar stable. This eliminates false hunger and prevents unnecessary snacking.
  2. Protein helps to grow and maintain your muscle mass, which increases your resting metabolism. This means that your body will be naturally leaner.
For faster results, pair your clean eating with a challenging exercise routine and quality supplementation.

Spinach Berry Salad

      Fresh and juicy during spring and summer months, strawberries are delicious when combined with tender spinach and crunchy toasted almonds. 
      Number of Servings: 4
      Ingredients
      1/3 c almonds, slivered
      4 c baby spinach
      3/4 c strawberries, quartered
      1 T balsamic vinegar
      1 T Dijon Mustard
      1 T Honey
    3 T extra virgin olive oil
    Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place the almonds in a dry skillet or saute pan. Cook over low heat, shaking the pan the entire time until the almonds are toasting. Almonds are done when you start to smell a "nutty" scent.
Remove almonds from the pan to cool. (Do not cool in the skillet because they will burn from the heat that remains in the pan.) Wash and dry the spinach.

Prepare the dressing by placing the vinegar, mustard, and honey in a mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until all is incorporated. Place spinach in a large bowl. Add strawberries, almonds, and dressing. Toss to coat. If desired, season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Are there safe ways to lose weight and keep it off?

With so many unsafe diets and diet pills on the market, the question remains, "are there really any safe and healthy ways to lose weight?" 

So many people choose to resort to ephedra based diet pills, low carb diets, protein only diets, one fruit diets, etc. that all promise miraculous weight loss results fast.  With most of these types of diets the claims are true, you do lose weight fast. The problem is that this is a quick fix, not a safe and healthy way to lose weight, and most often you will gain the weight back just as fast as you lost it. Besides the known side effects of yo-yo dieting and quick fix diet pills, they are also of course very dangerous to your heart and other organs of the body.

Listed below, you can find a few tips to help you lose weight  and keep it off by making healthy lifestyle changes rather than using a quick fix.

*eat more fresh fruits and vegetables
* exercise for at least 1 hour per day
*cut soda out of your diet
*use a natural appetite suppressant to decrease your caloric intake
*eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day to increase your body’s natural metabolic rate.
*implement good fats such as CLA and omega fatty acids into your daily diet
*Focus on good carbs rather than bad carbs and simple sugars in your diet.
*Stay away from the processed stuff
*Shop the outside perimeter of the store

 To look and feel good, you need a well-balanced diet and regular exercise. Studies suggest that the average American diet simply does not include all that is needed to ensure enough vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients for a healthy life. Supplementation, in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, can have a dramatic impact on your health and wellness. 

If you are looking for a program to get you started on the right track to making these healthy changes that you can sustain for a lifetime, we can help you!

Ideas to Get the Scale Moving

Sometimes while on the weight loss journey, the scale stops moving…
Our bodies may be taking a break and we just need to persist…
But sometimes it might be helpful to “mix things up”…
Some Fitness & Nutrition & Advocare Tips to Consider

Fitness:
  • There are 3 variables we control: frequency, duration, and intensity
  • Frequency: how many times per week are you working out? Might be time to bump it up to 5 days per week.
  • Duration: how long are your workouts? Might be time to bump the workout from 30 mins to 45 mins.
  • Intensity: how focused and intense are your workouts? Might be time to weave in some interval training, super-sets, CrossFit, etc.
*In my opinion, the 2 most important variables are frequency and intensity; high quality workouts 4-5 days per week is a recipe for success – can you claim you’re doing that?

Nutrition & Lifestyle:
  • Food: might be time for some strict carbo counting – are you staying around or under 100 grams of carbs per day? The only way to justify more would be if you’re training for competition, trying to gain weight, or accommodating a specific nutritional issue per Dr’s recommendations…
  • Water: being hydrated helps your metabolism by around 25%, I make myself have daily “focused chugging sessions” to stay on target
  • Binging? Avoid “episodes” of nutritional disaster… don’t wreck yourself on the weekends and then try to spend all week erasing the damage
  • Wine? Alcohol is a “volumizer”, you’ll retain water and your metabolism will function slower. You may want to abstain or minimize until your goal is achieved, then it’s about moderation for maintenance.
  • Simplicity: keep in mind that food is energy for living, 95% of the time hopefully we’re thinking about food in terms of fuel rather than pleasure.
Advocare Nutritionals:
  • Rehydrate: an unsung hero of Advocare – consider using Rehydrate in the afternoon and after dinner to combat false hunger cravings
  • Thermoplus: helps burn additional fat & cals
  • Meal Replacement Shakes: for some, this product can have a “volumizing” effect, consider laying off the shakes if that’s you and you’ve plateaued in your weight loss. Remember, this product is a builder, it is not a “weight loss” product. For some it’s helpful with initial weight loss in the 24 Day Challenge, but I’d advise experimenting to figure out if it’s meant to be a long term product for you. Every body and metabolism is different. Maybe you can successfully “cycle” on and off of them? Experiment and do what works for YOUR body.
  • MNS (Metabolic Nutrition System): this is a key nutritional for optimal metabolism
  • Cleanse: might be time for a strict cleanse; when I’m looking for a cleanse to make a major impact, I’ll do only fruit until noon each day.
  • My morning? MNS Max3, Catalyst (3), ThermoPlus (2), washed down with Spark & Arginine Extreme combo
If you’re experiencing a lull in your weight loss journey, chances are there are some variables above that will make the difference for you. It’s up to you to give yourself a brutally honest assessment, then begin the action & experimentation process. If there is any doubt or question about the above options, run it by your health care provider.

Get Lean and Healthy with Omegas



Omegas May Be More Important Than a Multivitamin for Some, but are Absolutely Essential for All

Benefits of AdvoCare OmegaplexThe amount, and the results of research supporting the health benefits of omega supplementation has been truly astounding in recent years. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to provide a myriad of health benefits such as reducing inflammation, improving cardiovascular health, increasing the efficiency of the heart during exercise, maintaining healthy blood lipid profiles and, even, increasing fat metabolism and lean mass gain.

To those still stuck on the common misconception that all fats equal, and thus bad for you, this will be hard to grasp, but for those who have been paying the least bit of attention to nutritional science over the past 10 years, you recognize this couldn’t be further from the truth. Fat is, in fact, essential for our body to function properly. In fact, it plays a critical role in the function of every cell in the body. Therefore, our fat “concern” should be with those ugly, bad saturated fats, which should absolutely be limited in our diets. However, the good, polyunsaturated fatty acids are vital for normal life functions, but since they cannot be made in the human body, they must be supplied through the diet.

And now, the fact that many scientific studies have actually shown substantial increases in fat metabolism with omega supplementation, you have even more reason to make this a staple of your daily nutritional intake.

Scientists from Gettysburg College (Pennsylvania) conducted research investigating the effects of fish-oil supplementation on resting metabolic rate (RMR), body composition and cortisol levels in healthy men and women. In this double-blind study baseline (pre-supplementation) measures of RMR, body composition (using a Bod Pod) and cortisol(from saliva) were completed after fasting. The researchers randomly put subjects in two groups that received four capsules (4 grams) per day of either safflower oil (containing only omega-6 fatty acid) or fish oil (containing only omega-3 fatty acid). They were instructed to take two capsules with breakfast and two capsules with dinner for six weeks. After six weeks of supplementation subjects returned to the lab to be tested again for RMR, body composition and cortisol levels.

A very important note…the participants did not manipulate or control their regular diets during the study.
AdvoCare OmegaPlex Benefits
The researchers reported those who took the fish-oil supplement had over a 1-pound increase in lean mass and a 1-pound loss in fat mass, whereas the safflower oil group exhibited no changes. Interestingly, the study authors reported no change in RMR or body mass among either group, but cortisol levels tended to be lower in the fish-oil group. The tendency for lower cortisol in the fish-oil group correlated with their increase in lean mass and decrease in fat mass.
This research suggests changes in body composition with high quality supplemental omega-3 fatty acids are a result of the impact of omega-3 fatty acids on cortisol levels. Couple this with what is already known about the benefits of supplemental omegas and you have no reason in the world to not be including this highly beneficial solution to your daily regimen. And, if you eat fish less than twice a week on average, it is even more important for you to ensure ample omega-3 intake.

Remember, a high-quality omega supplement can not only support a healthy metabolism and weight management as per the research above, it also helps promote healthy hair, skin and nails, and supports a healthy immune system. In fact, by playing a key role in cardiovascular activity by supporting normal blood flow and healthy blood pressure, consuming omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. info via wechangelivesdaily.com

Dr. Mauro Di Pasquala, a world-renowned expert on nutrition and sports medicine, states there may be a connection between fish oil and muscle health. He says the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are particularly beneficial because these essential fatty acids (EFAs) slow down, or even inhibit, muscle proteolysis, which is the breaking down of muscle proteins. Proteins are the "building blocks of life"; the body uses protein to rebuild and repair tissue on the muscles and organs. Protein is the ONLY macro nutrient that builds and maintains muscles, so it is important especially for an athlete or someone trying to build muscle to consume an adequate amount of protein daily.

Basically, if you don’t get the proper amount of protein in your diet, your body will struggle to make new proteins and will actually start to break down muscle you already have.

If our body needs protein to keep what we’ve got and build on what we have, then one can surmise that protein needs fish oil to get the job done right.

Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in Missouri examined the effects of fish oil on protein synthesis, which is the process in which cells build proteins. The researchers found after conducting several studies in both young and older adults that omega-3 fatty acids stimulate muscle protein synthesis, which can substantially increase the anabolic effects of the post-workout window when insulin and amino acid concentrations spike. In other words, your body keeps lifting weights long after you’ve left the gym when you add fish oil to your protein-filled diet.

Charles Poliquin, a Canadian strength training coach, has trained and/or consulted numerous world class athletes and professional sports teams. He is a huge advocate of fish oil and offers some great scientific explanations as to why fish oil works on his website, but one of my favorite things about his website is the story he tells about his experience when he added 45 grams of fish oil to a first-round draft pick for the NFL and the player put on 29 pounds of lean body mass in one month. Who wouldn’t want results like that?

Fish oil is gaining traction in the media for its benefits to the brain and heart, but what if it could also help us achieve the physique we wanted too? With all that being said, there are a lot of different fish oils on the market making a lot of claims. Which oils are the quality ones? And which ones are palatable?

Talk show host, Dr. Oz, and Consumer Labs Report recommend Advocare's OmegaPlex!

Dr. Oz Approves of AdvoCare

After investigating popular nutritional supplements on the market and finding shocking results, Dr. Oz recommends OUR products so that you avoid dangerous nutritional solutions and ensure that you and your family are only putting the highest quality products in your bodies, as well as, actually getting the benefits that you are paying for!

Their research showed what we are already well aware of, that not all “fish oils” are created equal! The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are the brain-boosting, heart-healthy good fats that have a multitude of anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Unfortunately, most people are not getting the benefits they think they are. Over 30% of the fish oil supplements tested failed for either containing less of the omega-3s than the bottle had promised, or for being spoiled. That, in and of itself, is scary!

AdvoCare’s Omegaplex Omega-3s not only passed ConsumerLab.com’s tests but was one of ONLY two “omegas” recommended by Dr. Oz himself!
So there is no question, we choose OmegaPlex for our omega-3 solution because it meets the highest quality standards of product safety and efficacy. Not only does OmegaPlex use high-quality marine lipid concentrates, which must meet strict analytical testing requirements for environmental contaminants, quantity of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and oxidation as indicators of safety, purity, potency and freshness, it also contains both EPA and DHA, in the right proportions for maximum benefit.


Be aware in advance, most fish oil supplements will contain one or the other, but not typically both, and almost never in the right, proven ratio.  Lastly, to further enhance its benefits, OmegaPlex also contains the antioxidant vitamin E in its most active form to further ensure omega-3 fatty acid stability.

As we always suggest, don’t merely take our word for the quality of the solutions we recommend, do your homework! We know the reasons to choose AdvoCare solutions for you and your family, and we have thousands of real-world testimonials to confirm our decision, but you still need to understand the “whys” for yourself. 

Order your OmegaPlex

For even better results with your overall health and fitness needs...take the Advocare 24 day challenge!  OmegaPlex is included!

SPARK Review 
http://www.energyfiend.com/
Caffiene Review Website

Have you ever been to an electronics store and found a great deal on men’s cologne?
No? Well how about a two-for-one deal at a car lot, have you seen one? I wish.
What about a farmer’s market? Ever been to one and found an incredible energy drink product you’ve never seen before? No? Well nah nah in your face I have!

This summer I took a trip to the local farmer’s market with my mom, my greatest excitement being the possibility of finding a flawless eggplant to complete my cornucopia crafting project. Sarcasm. Anywho, I walked by a table where a nice lady was selling Advocare performance products.

This table just reeked of multi-level marketing, but I couldn’t resist inquiring about the “Spark” energy drink powder packets. Without even telling the saleswoman about my status as an EF writer, she grabbed a bottle of water, filled it with a whole packet of Spark, and let me continue on my way while I drank the bottle down. < 20 minutes: holy organic cucumbers Batman!

Taste
I later bought three flavors of my own Spark packets: grape, fruit punch, and mandarin orange. They also offer citrus and cherry. All you need is a cold bottle of water, one of these packets mixed into it, and it will plaster a smile onto your lethargic face. The experience was better than I could have even expected, especially after E-Boost set my standards so low. Not one stage of the show can be categorized as bitter, transparent, overly sweet, or overly tart. Delish!

Effect
No matter how you consume a packet of Spark, whether it be straight, snorted, mixed into your Easy Mac flavor packet, or… oh ya mixed into water, you are guaranteed the perfect long-lasting energy boost. No joking around here, these packets are simply the perfect pick me up. This will be my first product review where I end up purchasing more of what I sampled.

Verdict
Advocare Spark changed my energy drink life. I can now truthfully say that given the immediate availability of a Spark packet, I would choose a bottle of water from a cooler instead a stand-by favorite energy drink. That’s right, a flavored bottle of water over, say, a NOS or Rockstar Punched Citrus. Up until Spark, that’d just be crazy talk.
