Fat Burning RecipesThis statement points out very effectively that if you feed your body with low nutritional and sugary garbage, your body has nothing to work with and you'll end up eventually feeling like garbage. On the other hand, if you nourish your body with food that is packed with nutrients such as vitamins, fiber, healthy fats, whole grains and omega-3's, you'll notice a huge difference in how you look and feel...especially if you make this type of food a dietary habit. Right now we're at a crossroad - we know we should be eating better, but there are so many restaurants available offering "bad" food and it's making the obesity rate skyrocket. Even restaurants that offer fish platters and other health-conscious meals end up not so well because of the amount of calories you ingest between the bread, large portions and dessert. Portion control is a very big thing in this day and age of mega meals and super sized food. In calorie dense foods, the size of the portion consumed can amount to 1/3 or more of your daily intake. Remember portion size does matter! Click here to learn what a portion is .... You have two options:
My focus is on number two because by making your own meal, you can control exactly what goes into it. The end result is a meal that you know is nutritious and NOT packed with health-deteriorating ingredients. Here's an example of my favorite fat burning recipe you can make at home. It has everything you need for better health. What you'll need is:
 1 9-10 ounce bag of baby spinach 1 can of wild Alaskan pink salmon 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil 1-2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar 1/2-3/4 cup of brown rice Here's a breakdown of each food's health benefits: Spinach - this green leaf is packed with phytonutrients, vitamins and fiber - and it's low in calories. Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon - yes, canned! It tastes better than you think. The reason this is recommended is because the food is a powerhouse of protein, good fats and omega-3's and is low in calories and carbohydrates. The salmon you would normally buy is potentially high in mercury, which is bad. This Wild Alaskan form is free of mercury...and it's inexpensive. In case you're wondering, Omega-3's are vital for healthy weight loss, brain health and a healthy cardiovascular system. Olive Oil - full of good fat which your body does need. When you buy olive oil, make sure it's 100% authentic. Some brands are now mixing olive oil with refined oils...the end result is olive oil, but not really. Balsamic Vinegar - vinegar reportedly controls your blood sugar level when eating which is important for overall health. Furthermore, it gives the meal more taste. Brown Rice - whole grains are full of vitamins and fiber. Check out Uncle Ben's instant brown rice...it's pretty good and quick to make. Making the meal is easy. You simply lay the spinach out on a platter- you can more or less use however much you want- and drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the spinach. Let this sit for 10 minutes or so- this gives the spinach a chance to soak up the oil and vinegar. While this is sitting, cook the brown rice and open up the can of salmon. When ready, simply spread the salmon over the spinach and put the brown rice either on the side or in a separate bowl. And now the best part of all - ENJOY! This meal will take you 15 minutes max to make and each bite will nourish your body from the inside out. And once you get used to eating healthy, you'll find yourself experimenting with all types of different fat burning recipes.
