1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained well

1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a large pizza pan or baking sheet on the bottom of the oven to preheat.

As many of you know, I started this fitness blog with a specific focus on my belly fat. I have been a lean athlete all of my life and my beautiful kids ruined my perfectly flat belly.

Since then I’ve been providing some of the best information that I’m using that has helped me to lose my belly fat.

I ran across these facts from Jayson Hunter, a registered dietitian for over 10 years and owner of Prograde Nutrition. I am amazed at the wealth of information that I receive in regards to nutrition from him.

Anyway, let’s get to today’s easy lesson. Check this out:

- Increased Protein intake triggers the hormone Glucagon.

- This, in turn, prevents the spiking of your Insulin (which is also a hormone) levels.

- Which simply means you minimize the chance of storing blood sugar as fat.

In other words, eat more protein and you bust your belly flab. Sure, there’s more to it than that, but that is the crux of it. And so long as you understand the basics you can KEEP the belly flab from coming back.

When you only eat carbs your Insulin levels go through the roof. And all that blood sugar (that’s what the carbs turn into after you’ve eaten them) which isn’t needed by your body MUST go somewhere. Yup, it goes to your belly; or your butt; or your hips; or your thighs…

I can actually say that I’ve seen the results of this (I lost 6 inches in my belly fat in 3 months) by eating an omelet every day and adding protein shakes throughout my day. Of course, notice his words “there’s more to it” which are my 15 min / day workouts and a focused nutrition plan.

What is your favorite source of protein? Go BUST that belly fat! What are you waiting for? GOOOO!!!

Is it ok for me to say the health care debate is driving me NUTS?

I know it’s a VERY touchy subject. I know people have VERY strong opinions about it.

But what nobody really wants to talk about is the fact we could simplify the heck out
of this by doing one thing:

Take better care of ourselves.

We should make this priority #1 in the Obama Health Care Plan.

We have this incredible love affair with making things so complicated. It’s absurd really.

Small, simple changes to the way we live our lives and the entire country would be SOOO
much healthier.

Let me give you an example in my own world:

I visited a family friend in the hospital over the weekend who was a high school state
football champion. He has always been a big guy and worked out constantly with his team.

Well he graduated and there is no more football. No more physical exercise and his diagnosis:

Fatty liver, fatty gall bladder, fatty blood and a sluggish heart. He is only 20 years old and his
doctor said that if he doesn’t make radical changes in his diet, he will die in less than 5 years.

The great thing is that he is taking this very seriously and as soon as he got out of the hospital,
he started making some of those radical changes in his exercise and nutrition plan.

But the moral of the story is simple: We make things a whole lot harder than they need to be.

Small changes add up to BIG results. They always have and they always will.

Does it solve all of our problems? No. But does it solve a lot? Yes, it really does.

I found this awesome special report on the benefits of

Six of the Most Powerful Antioxidants

to help you better understand the role nutrition plays in the anti-aging process. I’m sending this
over to my friend as well so he can live well past 25 years old.

This report features Jayson Hunter, registered dietitian for over 10 years and Head of Research and Development for Prograde Nutrition. Happy Reading!

Ok, so you know Vitamins and Minerals are important. Most every woman knows that.

However, not everyone understands WHY they are so important for their body. I recently read an article from registered dietitian Jayson Hunter that gives us the rundown on the Top Women’s Vitamins. Here’s what he had to say:

Vitamin A – This vitamin contributes to the health of your eyes, skin and nails.

Vitamim B – While B Vitamins are often referred to as “energy vitamins” they don’t actually give you a surge of energy, per se. What they actually do is help facilitate metabolic reaction in the body to create energy. They’re also necessary for a healthy metabolism.

Vitamin C – This women’s vitamin is a great antioxidant and immune system booster. It also helps skin health.

Vitamin D – Helps women absorb calcium. And it may help prevent certain types of cancer.

Calcium – It’s actually a mineral not a vitamin. And as most women know already, it improves bone density.

Pretty simple, right? But you can also see why it’s so important to understand vitamins for women. When we understand the reasons to make healthier choices, it helps us to make them.

Now, I get asked all the time by women which vitamin supplements, if any, they need to be taking. Great question.

Well, if your nutrition is 100% perfect all the time then you probably don’t need to take any.

But that’s not the case for most women. Most women are just like me and are busy as heck and don’t always find the time for proper nutrition 100% of the time.

So if that’s the case with you, I highly recommend taking a Whole Foods based Multi-Vitamin, Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+ for Women. I have noticed a drastic difference in my energy levels over the past 6 months.

My fitness trainer endorses these vitamins as well as many other fitness professionals and dietitians.

It’s actually really cool because it’s literally made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits. You should definitely check out Prograde’s Women’s Vitamins. You can view the list of ingredients at the top of the page which shows 25 whole foods they use to make VGF 25+ for Women.

Guys, I don’t mean to leave you out of the picture. Prograde’s Men’s Vitamins are a great source for you too. Pretty cool, huh? The nutrition of 25 whole foods in a bottle! Have you taken your vitamin today?
