Diet???

So there are many diets out their, but in reality a diet is just what we consume daily.  The key in health and nutrition is, as I said in my previous post, eating "clean".  Our caloric intake should not be looked at as a restriction, but what we feed our body to keep our metabolism running and burning the unwanted weight or fueling the muscle growth we are looking for.  It really is quite basic...lean protein, lots of vegitables a few healthy fats and minimal starches.  Also it is key to eat throughout the day to keep our metabolism running and our mind off of the munchies.  I tell you what if it's 2 oclock and I had lunch at 11 or 12, I am looking for an afternoon cookie!! 

This is a lot of information and a very little all at the same time.  I suppose what I am getting at is your diet isn't what you do during occasions to loose weight....it's a lifestyle choice.  This is where my wonderful man is going to be helping us greatly, him and wonderful fitness/model Jamie Eason.   She is an amazing woman in the fitness model industry and someone who I find some amazing recipes from and a great inspiration as she is also a Godly woman and I think that's amazing. 

So Diet???  Diet as America sees it....NO....clean eating is what it is and we will get more into it as my blog evolves....Gotta keep you commin back for more :p 

So here is another packed with a punch of protein no carb snack for your before bedtime sweet tooth :)

Now I modify this recipe as follows to cut out the carbs from the milk and add a little sweet

1 pint unsweetened almond milk
1 cup protein (whey) powder
1 pack of gelatin
1 small pack of stevia
Heat up milk, gelatin and stevia on stove when hot but not scalded remove from whisk in the protein powder till dissolved.  Pour in bowls and cool in fridge :)  Enjoy.  This is stinking delicious!!  Tastes like a real cheat.

On a funny mom of 3 and health moment all in one, yesterday my children came home from school looking for their after school snack.  Much to their dismay, I had surgery on Monday and there were no "snacks".  I say there were none because normally I would have something sweet baked for my kids or tasty yogurts or something to that nature made for them to snack on.  Well I had none of this anywhere to be found.  I, as were they obviously dismayed by this and quickly panicked.  Well who would have thought that all my clean eating would come in handy and maybe rub off on my children.....probably actually just out of starvation for the day, but one can dream......they grabbed whole carrots peeled them and each ate 2!!  Yay for clean eating and a healthy snack, they didn't even have any unhealthy full of fat ranch dipping sauce.  Probably a fluke but sure made me happy.
