Cajun Turkey…Bodybuilder Style!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chopped onions and bell peppers 
  • 1 small Squash (zucchini or summer) diced (adds a little extra color!)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (I use Tone's Cajun Seasoning with no MSG)
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (My favorite is Cholula!!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Diced tomato & onion as garnish

Instructions:

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a bowl mix together the onions and bell peppers, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Add ground turkey and mix well.
Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until cooked through.
*If you’re cooking for the man in your life – the “Carb-oholic”, or need a little carb-boost, the turkey pairs well with brown rice lightly seasoned with salt or Tony Cachere’s.

Are the calorie counts on exercise machines accurate?

Probably not, as the reality is each manufacturer uses their own patented algorithms that take into account the workload and duration of the exercise. Some equipment manufacturers do research to validate these formulas on a number of subjects. The higher-end the machine, the more likely it is to use a validated formula. A newer version of the same machine might even have a different formula in an attempt to improve its accuracy (if you have an older model and want to make sure you’re using the most updated formula, you can call the manufacturer who might be able to walk you through the upgrade over the phone). Some formulas are based on the principle that during exercise, heart rate has a linear relationship with oxygen consumption, which can be easily converted to determine the number of calories burned. However, heart rate is influenced by a number of things such as temperature, body position, food intake, muscle groups exercised, some medications, and whether the exercise is

Battle of the Bulge

We all struggle with temptation. Its just our nature. The key to beating the urge is faith, strong will, and the outside support and encouragement from others. CONFESSION: I have a mad sweet tooth! How do I control it? My morning French vanilla coffee and the occasional visit to Swirll. :) Moderation is key; not deprivation! There is no magic pill, wrap or potion. Quick weight loss and temporary diet plans, prepackaged meals are all just a gimmick. To transform your body, you must transform your lifestyle. This is a journey; a trying process that begins from within. So many lose weight quickly and then decide to "take a break" from whatever "program" catapulted them to success. Well, NEWS FLASH, you can't "take a break" from a healthy way of living; eating clean and exercising regularly, and expect not to regress! If you have been on a mission to revamp the reflection in the mirror and aren't seeing results, chances are, you may be missing a cr

Image
When it comes to detoxing your body, there are many techniques you can follow and supplements you can take. I am not able to participate in the incredible 24-Day Advocare Challenge because I am nursing. So alternatively, and naturally the best way, is to eat lots of foods that detox the body. Below is a list of detox foods that I thought would be an great addition to everybody’s diet. 1. Fruits Fruits are extremely high in liquid-content, helping the body wash out toxins. They are also very easy to digest and are high in antioxidants , nutrients, fiber and many important vitamins like vitamin C. 2. Green Foods When you are ready to detox your body, fill your refrigerator with blue green algae , barley, wheatgrass, kale, spinach, spirulina, alfalfa, chard, arugula or other organic leafy greens. These plants will help give a chlorophyll-boost to your digestive tract. Chlorophyll rids the body of harmful environmental toxins from smog, heavy metals , herbicides, cleaning
