CYBER MONDAY SPECIAL

Meeting My Inspiration

Meeting Dana Linn Bailey was one of the best days of my life. It's so awesome to learn from people who inspire you and the best thing about DLB is that she hasn't let fame get to her head! She is so down to earth and real. I learned all about her training style and diet which I have been incorporating into my own plan and it's not exactly what I expected from a physique competitor, but it is definitely a "train insane or remain the same" approach! I love the results so far. DLB worked from the ground up to get where she is today and her relationship with her husband, Rob Bailey, is very admirable! They support each other 100%. I've also become obsessed with their clothing line FLAG NOR FAIL. So, Whether you want to train for fun and health or to compete, I'd love to share some of the training principles with you that I learned at the DLB WARhouse Gym Camp! Hit me up with questions💪💪💪💪💪💪

I have a special going on for CYBER MONDAY

Roasted Lemon Garlic Broccoli- oh the benefits of broccoli!

Are you sick of steamed veggies?? Roast them! I (Jessica) have to say I was actually getting sick of my same old steamed broccoli so I decided to switch things up. I have roasted cauliflower in the past, but never thought of roasting broccoli before. I'm sure glad I did! Did you know how many great benefits there are to eating broccoli. I've tried switching veggies, but after years of eating broccoli, my body actually craves it.

I love broccoli because of all the vitamins. However, the number one reason I like broccoli is due to it helping prevent inflammation. According to the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism, substances found in broccoli such as sulfer, may also battle inflammation, which is at the root of osteoarthritis, a painful, degenerative joint disease in which cartilage that normally protects joints starts to wear away under the influence of the inflammatory factors. 

This is great news since so many people are affected by this disease. 

Here is my roasted lemon garlic recipe:

Preheat oven to 425. 

In large bowl put broccoli and a little water or oil depending on your macro needs so the seasoning sticks to the broccoli. Mix it up. 

Place broccoli on a large tray and sprinkle to your liking the following: rosemary, "no salt", pepper, true lemon (google it), garlic powder. 

Roast in oven for 16-20 minutes depending on how burnt you like it! 

Enjoy!

Happy Halloween! Here is a picture of Luciana trick or treating with her babysitting group.

Recertified!

A few years ago, I (Juliane) made the decision to switch jobs and turn my passion of health and fitness into a life-long career. I have a degree in Television Broadcasting and worked in the media for ten years. One day, I just got tired of begging people for information and showing up at car crashes begging victims families to speak. So, I quit. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I work hard everyday learn new information in health and fitness so I can provide the best guidance possible for my clients. Staying certified isn't easy, (or cheap.) Yesterday, in the mail, I received my recertification for Personal Training, and just seeing that little piece of paper put a smile on my face. Make sure you are getting guidance from a certified Personal Trainer. It's easy to pull information from the internet to provide your own plan, but that's like never going to a doctor and reading Web M.D. to cure your own ailments. Getting a good qualified trainer is worth every penny because nothing is more important than your health. I want to share my expertise and passion with you... so let me help you begin your fit journey today.

Craving Pasta?...Here's a Diet Friendly Solution!

 

Yes, you can eat noodles and get lean... mmmmmm

 

               

There are lots of fun foods that I (Juliane) find and incorporate into my diet as replacements for foods that I don't eat because they don't fit my goals. For example; pasta is so processed and full of gluten and an excess of calories that I just feel gross after I eat it. That's where Miracle Noodles come in! These gems are basically just fiber and absorb the taste of whatever you cook them in. There are zero carbs and calories per serving. They come in angel hair, rice and fettucine form. You can get them online and at a few heath food stores. The cons are that they are a bit pricey but you can buy them in bulk which cuts down on the price. Also, they have a weird odor when you first open them up, so make sure to rinse them really well! I use them sparingly if I want to make a fun Asian or Italian dish without all the calories and processed carbs. Today I cooked them with my special "fat burning" topping and fried them in a frying pan. This is so simple and easy.

 

-cut open the pack and rinse well for a few minutes in cold water.

-grease a pan with grass fed butter (healthy fat, you need fat to burn fat)

-put the burner on med/high heat and put the noodles in

-pour on the mustard (natural metabolism booster)

-shake in some ground mustard, ginger (aids in digestion), and "nosalt" and any other seasonings you may enjoy

-let noodles cook for a few minutes and continually mix them around the pan.

-add a little more grass fed butter on top to melt in

-put the noodles in a covered dish in the refrigerator for at least a few hours

-when you are ready to eat them, heat them up in the microwave for about 2 minutes. I find letting them sit in the seasoning, and then reheating them really helps to absorb the flavor!

 

Some people love them, others hate them, but they worth a try! There is also a version made of soy that I have found in many grocery stores which have some calories, carbs and protein per serving.

Saturday Shred Secret

Today's Saturday Shred Secret it....

 

              

 

Cut the WHEAT out of your diet and you may just notice a flatter belly! Wheat contains a protein called gluten, which actually means GLUE! Our bodies have a hard time digesting wheat and it sits in our bellies and causes gas and bloating. You may find you have a gluten intolerance. Both (Juliane and Jessica) of our stomachs tend to store fat easily due to genetics, but we both noticed less belly fat after cutting out wheat! Many of my clients have noticed this too. Give it a try, the only thing you have to lose is belly fat!

Healthy Custard Recipe

                 

 

This is probably the most delicious healthy creation I've (Juliane) randomly invented to date. I like to put different things together and just see what happens and this week has been all about my awesome custard creation. So here is the recipe just for my readers!

 

Dry ingredients

1 scoop GNC Amp Whey Vanilla Protein

1 scoop Orange Amino Energy

1 tablespoon konjac root powder

A few dashes of each-

cinnamon, ginger

1/8 tsp baking powder ( a little goes a long way)

 

Wet ingredients

1 cup water

1/2 cup liquid egg whites

liquid Vanilla Stevia

8 ice cubes

1 container Strawberry Sugar Free Jello snack (yes, it has artificial sweetener, but a little won't hurt you:)

 

Put 1/2 cup egg whites and 1/2 cup water and some liquid Stevia in non stick pan and immediately mix in all dry ingredients. Cook on medium then flip and cook other side until it has a pancake like consistency. Put the pancake in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes until it cools.

 

put about 8 ice cubes, half cup water and Jello snack in the blender with the pancake. Blend on high for a few minutes, then blend on low until nice and fluffy. Scoop it out of the blender into a bowl and pop it in the freezer for about 5 minutes. Plop on the couch and enjoy! You can sprinkle some Stevia on top for added sweetness if you want. It's really filling!!
