PALEO PANCAKES

Posted: January 24, 2013 in Diet

AFTERNOON,

How is everyone managing with the paleo challenge? Haven’t started? Well get moving!

One of the most common things I hear people struggling with is breakfast and there sweet tooth. People asking for other option than what they are currently eating day in and day out.

Guys, experiment! It’s that simple you know what your allowed and what your not, see what would go together and give it a shot. One thing I do is look at general recipes for foods I like and see what is not allowed and replace it with a Paleo substitute. You will be surprised with your cooking skills and what actually works!

One that I had this morning for breakfast and was AWESOME;

PALEO PANCAKES

20130124-014527 PM.jpg

INGREDIENTS;
-3 eggs
-Teaspoon of stevia
-3 drops of vanilla extract

METHOD;

Seperate the white from the yolk and put into separate bowls, Whisk the egg white until fluffy and add the stevia.

In the other bowl add the vanilla essence then fold the yolk into the egg white.

Heat a frying pan with coconut oil, add the mix and spread as you would a normal pancake (i made two out of this recipe) after a few mins flip over.

For mine i like to add berries when finished. What you add is 100% up to you and your taste buds.

Another one I like is to spread almond butter in between with banana. You can actually blend the banana and add with the yolks and vanilla.

Like I said how you finish yours is up to you just keep it Paleo!

Anyone needing specific help or tips just ask. Recipe of your own? You gotta let us know!

Do you want to succeed? Really do you want to succeed?
Ask yourself that question truthfully if your answer is No, I suggest you go read another site.
If you answer yes then you are in the right place and continue…

After working with a number of athletes and training myself, there are things you can do to prevent failure. To make sure you have no excuses. To make sure every day you are bettering yourself and growing as a person.
One area where a lot of people struggle is nutrition. Weather you follow a High Carb Low Fat, High Protein Low Crab, Intermittent Fasting, Paleo or CBL they struggle to follow the plan and often fall off the train.
Below is 4 key points that will help you succeeding in achieving your goals;

1. KNOW YOUR PLAN
You need to understand your Nutrition plan 100%. You need to know what you are to eat and what you are not to eat at certain times of the day. If you do not understand fully you will not know how to make the right choices. READ, READ, READ about your plan and research everything and ensure it is the right one for you and what you need to do. Now write it out, stick it up in the kitchen and even write it in your phone so you have it with you at all times, this way if you are not sure you can look and make sure you make the right choices.

2. COOK IN BULK
If you wait till the last minute for everything and are not planning ahead, at some point you will cave in and take the easier option. To prevent this from happening plan ahead and make succeeding the easier and only option. One way to do this is by cooking all your dinners for the week together. Spend one day cooking in bulk, then separate it all into boxes and freeze. This way especially if you work where you cannot prepare food all you need to do is take one out the night before and by the morning it has defrosted and your ready to go. We all know that cooking on a night or in the morning take up a lot of time, and sooner or later you will be in a rush and not be able to prepare your food and therefore be forced to eat the wrong thing. Plan ahead and take away all excuses

3. REMOVE ALL TEMPATIONS
We are all human and have our weak spots. We all crave thee wrong things. The only way to ensure this does not happen is by taking all temptations away. Go through your cupboards and throw away anything that could make you fall off track and stock right up with the right things. Replace your craving with something of a healthier choice and you are going to succeed and achieve your goals.

4. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Do you ever get to the point where you have done your plan for several weeks and all you tracked is your weight and it hasn’t moved much? We have to remember weight doesn’t track all improvement for example muscle mass, lean muscle tissue, body fat % ect. Below are a few options to track depending on your goals from day 1;
-Weight
-Body measurements
-Body Fat %
-Lean Muscle mass
-Photo
-Lifting stats
Review all the above stats every 30 days. This will give you a true report of how well you are doing.

5.DRINK WATER
As the title says, Drink water. Stay hydrated throughout the day, if your hydration levels drop by just 2% it can have a big effect on performance. Aim for 3lt + a day. That is all

Put in the hard work and follow these very simple points and you WILL succeed. By following these steps you are taking away all excuses and opportunities to fail and fall off track. Every day we are to GROW as people and become better than the person we were yesterday!
