Healthier and tastier chicken ever!

Hello guys!!! Missed you, I was kind of busy! But, I will make up to you by giving you my secret recipe!! It will make you feel the taste all over your mouth and guilty free!! Zero preperation, twenty minutes from your time to make it!!

So pay attention!! You buy a beautiful chicken breast, three peppers, one onion, one tomato (all the incredients chopped into little pieces, including the chicken). The only thing you are gonna need is a nonstick skillet! You just put your chicken bites into the pan till turned white and then you add the rest incredients! If needed add half cup of water. Then you just cover your pan with a cap and let it boil for just 5 to 10 minutes. Ready!!

You will really enjoy it!! Almost 0% fat (from the bad ones) and the perfect way to confuse your kids in order to eat their vegetables!!

Enjoy and have fun!!!

Quick solutions!

Helloooooooooooooooo guys!!! Hope you had fun the past few days! Easter is far gone and I get back to work! 

Today, I will give you some quick tips! You returned home after work, tired and the only thing you want to do is eat something and fall asleep! Understood! You are right!! But don't buy fast food or pizza! Just use your imagination!!

Make a smoothie! A blender, some fruits, yogurt, ice. Shake them up and you are ready! Will give you energy and will cool you during summer! Another thing you can do is the classic sandwich! 2 slices of bread, cheese, tomato, salami, egg and mustard! Healthy and easy!

If you are too tired and your fridge is half empty, you may enjoy a "poor" salad. Tuna can, lettuce, mustard sauce (1 ts olive oil, 1 ts vinegar, 1 ts mustard) Mix them all together and enjoy!! 

230 kcal per sandwich and 160 kcal per smoothie! But be carefull! Low fat yogurt, grainy bread, low fat cheese! 

Eat healthy in order to stay healthy!!

Easter is here! Let's talk about eggs!

Easter is here and I thought about eggs! Not chocolate eggs! Just the benefits of an egg! A single egg can help you in so many ways!! It's cheap, it's healthy and it has only 70 calories! Pay attention people!

Protein! An egg contains a highly quality of protein which means that gives energy and helps you feel full longer! Also, helps you build muscle strength!

Choline! Helps the brain function, prevents birth defects!

Lutein and zeaxanthin (antioxidants)! Helps your eyes stay healthy and also prevents the macular degeneration, a cause of age-related blindness!

In simple words! Remember this! Brain function, eye health, healthy pregnacy, muscle strength, weight management!

But you must be careful! Not more than 1 egg per day and if you are having cholesterol issues consult your doctor for the amount!

Happy Easter!! Have fun and be safe!

Menu board calories! Conspiracy?

This is a very weird stuff! The law enforced restaurants but junk food diners in their majority to have the calories of each dish on the menu. Nutritionists thought that this would help us! But it didn't!

It's pretty weird but it's true! In my oponion, the businesses gained from all this! You can't sue them because you gained weight (remember scandal that came with a movie). They saved money but we still eat these shit! Why?

Many theories have been developed by scientists but a few things have been actually proved. The only thing that is true is the huge amount of salt! Just like potato chips! More salt, more taste, more we want to eat! The thing we can do is read the ingredients and see the salt percentage.

Other theories seemed like conspiracy! People love conspiracy theories but don't love their bodies and their health! Don't try to translate the labels and see the calories! Junk is junk! We eat it because of its taste but we have to learn a way of controlling it! Eat junk food once per month or even better once per six months!

You can cook your own potato chips, your own burger and your own fast food! The taste will be better! I promise! Just try it one time! Just a few minutes for the preparation! Watch a movie with your own homemade pop corn! Especially if kids are involved!

Have fun and stay healthy!!

Summer time! Ice cream!

Hey world! Who doesn't love ice cream?? Whooooo??? I must say that the one who might say no.. is just a liar! Terrible liar! So, I will tell you the best choices in order not to lie to yourself! And eat it with no guilt! 

First! Not all ice creams have the same incredients. Many include added sugar, stabilizers, emulsifiers, flavorins and NONE of which contains nutrients (except from home made of course!). 

The nutritional value of each ice cream depends of the amount of cream or milk that contains!

A cup of ice cream (small one) contains 200 calories. Reduced fat ice cream contains 120 calories more or less. As far as nutrition is concerned numbers are disappointing.. a cup of ice cream contains 32g of carbs, 16g of fat which half of it is saturated and 5g protein. 

But don't get upset! Typically.. and when I say typically.. I mean typically.. an ice cream may contain vitamin A, B2, B12. But, I don't count on it!

Best choice! Ice cream with no cookies and syrup are the ones with lower calories. Go out there! Eat an ice cream with chocolate and enjoy it! You will need only half hour walking to burn it! It worths it!! Have fun!!

Five per day!! Curious?

There are some basics rules in order to keep your health and body balanced. You might know them all, you might know nothing. But I 'll share the tips with you anyway! So, pay attention!

We have to eat 5 times per day! Yes! Five times! Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. But you have to eat them in three hours apart from each other. And by saying breakfast, I don't mean a cup of coffee but a meal! Cereals or pretchel with milk or french toast. For snack you may eat a fruit with 3-4 nuts or a cereal bar.

The last snack of your day must be eaten at least 2 hours before you go to bed. And it can be a cup of milk or a yogurt. In that way, you keep your stomach busy and burns calories for you! This procedure is called thermogenesis and is pretty cool!! Our stomach must always have something to do! But remember, amount counts! Keep your stomach busy not extra full!

To sum up, take your lunch box to work!! How cute is that!!

Enjoy your day!!
