An AWSUM christmas gift.

AWSUMBODY is putting together a christmas package .Christmas is a busy time of year and we often find the dollars just don't go far enough .It is for this reason that we want to give all the opportunity to be ready for a healthy happy christmas and new year.
Our health and nutrition seem to be one of the first things we put on the back burner to deal with later . Have you noticed how later never comes?
While we put the finishing touches to our package consider the last time you put your health first . When was the last time you felt a glow from the inside out? Don't leave your health until it's to late to many rely on you .It's time you spent a little time and effort on yourself particularly the mums out there. Have an AWSUM day all.

A few extra kilo's

You have gone to put on that summer outfit you loved so much Last year only to discover it no longer fits.While you felt you had put on a little weight it didn't seem to be that much .Now you go and get on the scales and are shocked to find that the little extra you weren,t concerned about is 10 kilo's.
It is so often the case over the winter months and because it happens over a period of months we don't notice it to much and don,t become concerned until we see it either in clothes not fitting or a number on the scales.
Now consider this gradual increase in weight and the effects it's having on your body. Firstly your heart followed by your lungs,kidneys and so on .It's the little things like all of a sudden it's not so easy to run up the stairs or chase after your little ones .You find yourself stopping to catch your breath and sweating more .You ask your self "When did I become unfit?"It's not that you have become unfit but that your carrying extra kilos and still expecting your body to do what it used to be able to. Of course there is going to be some sort of effect we just don't think about it often just assuming we are unfit and while this may be the case it is mostly because of the extra pressure we have placed on our body.
So now you want to do something about it and fast . Remember you have put the weight on over a period of time .Why do we expect our bodies to do the impossible and lose those kilo's over night .Don't get me wrong there are ways you can drop body fat fast however in our experience these overnight solutions are just that and just as you will have lost a few kilos over night they will be back.because these overnight solutions cannot be maintained . If you can't maintain the weightloss solution for the rest of your life then they won't work for very long.It is also important you reconise where things went wrong ....what was it that changed?How did these extra kilo's come about?What have you been doing differently? Once you can pin point this you are half way there.
Now to get back into that favourite summer outfit. set yourself a goal and look at a long term solution so you don't find yourself here again.
Awsumbody believes by educating you on good eating habits and a little exercise you can maintain that beachbody all year around .

An Awsum METABOLISM kicking and fat burning meal

Hi all, thank you once again for tuning in. Today i decided today would be a very hands on day and thought id share a recipe with you all. One that will not only help raise your metabolism but also start the fat burning process.
PROTEINS

Protein has the highest Thermal-Burn of all foods, increasing your metabolism by up to a massive 20-30 % !!!!! You see, protein is a very complex nutrient, so for every 1,000 calories of protein you eat, your body will use up to 300 calories to digest and process this macro-nutrient (macro meaning large and micro meaning small incase you were wondering)
This means you're only intaking about 700 calories for every 1,000 calories you eat of protein. You are getting 300 "free calories." (They're gone... just like that simply by EATING THEM.)

Protein also helps to build muscle (along with specific types of exercise), and for every kilo of muscle you add, you will burn approximately 100 extra calories per day. Five kilos will burn 500 calories per day. Now isnt that pretty cool??? And here's something even cooler...the "Thermal Burn" (thermogenic properties) of some natural foods is so high that they don't even register on the calorie scale. I like to consider these "AWSUM FOODS" that you can practically eat all day without gaining an inch.

Now for the recipe.
1. Cook some veggies in a pan and set aside.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil with 1/2 teaspoon
of coconut oil to the veggies. This alone improves
the taste immediately. (also fats are HEALTHY FATS)

2. Crack 4 eggs and use the whites only. Whip them in a bowl

3. Add 1/2 egg yolk to the veggies after cooking
for 1 minute. This is mainly for taste.

4. Add some GARLIC
5. Use non-stick spray for the egg
whites and cook them like you would a normal
omelette. Then pour the almost-cooked veggies in

6. Now for the SPECIAL sauce add a dash of PRAWN COCKTAIL sauce to the entire mix yummo !!!!

Now try not to eat omelettes all day after you try this
