Hi - a lot of you commented that you wanted to start seeing some recipes so once a week, Jayson Hunter, author of The Carb Rotation Diet is going to provide the Abs Diet Recipe of the Week.

This one is spicy turkey meatloaf.

This recipe is loaded with disease fighting nutrients lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin.

This recipe is also a great protein source.

It fits perfectly into the carb rotation diet as a no carb meal or combined with other foods on a low carb and high carb day.

You can also adjust the level of spiciness by adding more chili powder or less (down here in Texas, we like our meatloaf spicy!!)

1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed

1 cup chopped tomatoes

2 tsp oregano, dried

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 tbsp chili powder

1/2 cup canned corn, drained

1 1/4 pound ground turkey (93% lean)

1/4 cup chili sauce or ketchup

1/2 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking)

2 large egg whites, beaten until frothy

2 tsp garlic, minced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large bowl, using a fork, mix together oats, egg whites, and tomatoes. Blend in turkey, chili powder, oregano, garlic, chili sauce or ketchup, and pepper. Mix in spinach and corn.
Pack mixture firmly into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan that has been lightly coated with cooking oil spray. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until juices run clear when meat loaf is pierced with a knife, or internal temperature registers 165°F. Remove from oven and let meat loaf sit at least 15 minutes before serving.

Yummy. This is making me hungry.

After you try the recipe I would love to get your feedback and comments.

So don’t be shy. Did you like this dish? Or is this a one and done (meaning you’ll never make it again)?

Enjoy!

I am on a pretty good “abs diet” until my birthday at the end of this month to make sure that as I turn another year older I still have a flat stomach and six-pack abs.

However, I am on the road today and it is proving to be somewhat challenging.

I am actually in a car as I type this on my way to Austin, Texas.

I’m on a Carb Rotation diet, and fortunately this is a higher carb day today. : )

I just had lunch at Wendy’s of all places, where I had a grilled chicken sandwich.

Not exactly the healthiest place to eat, but I did pretty decent skipping the fries and soda.

Then I was at the gas station looking for some healthy snacks to eat on the rest of the trip.

Almost all I could find was rows and rows of junk food - candy bars, pringles, chips, crackers, twinkies, muffins, coffee cake, moon pies!

Moon pies!! Remember those things.

I was able to find a really really small section of healthier food and ended up getting some almonds and a Protein Plus PowerBar.

For my workouts while I’m in Austin, I will definitely be doing some shorter bodyweight interval circuits and some 4-minute circuits from the Four Minute Workout DVDs.

I’ll even try to film a couple of the workouts so you can see them.

Oh and guess what?

Austin is home to the first ever Whole Foods.

Maybe I’ll try and sneak in another grocery store tour. ; )

Have an amazing day.

Howdy,

A question that I’ve received a lot lately are from people that don’t eat a lot of meat, or sometimes they are vegetarians and don’t eat any meat.

What they want to know is what are some other protein sources they can choose if they don’t eat meat and their options are a little bit more limited.

They especially need to know what to eat on their low and no carb days if they are on a carb rotation diet.

So this is what Jayson Hunter, author of The Carb Rotation Diet, and I talked about in our latest Q&A.

Jayson gave some great strategies and alternatives on what you can eat if you don’t eat a lot of meat, or even no meat.

Remember, Jayson is an internationally known registered dietician and will be with us each week.

If you are having any trouble with your diet and nutrition, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment and Jayson will be happy to answer your questions. : )

Have an amazing day.

I want you to turn heads at the pool, on the beach, anywhere you go!

I want to put together an entire bikini ready abs system that will make this possible for you.

I have some ideas of what I want to include in this system.

But I need to hear from you!

What would you like this bikini ready abs system to include.

I don’t want to influence what you come up with, but some things I have thought about have been an e-book of all the exercises and workouts, videos of the exercises and workouts including the infamous 4-minute circuits.

I want to include some audios of mindset experts and success stories…success stories from women just like you.

And of course your diet! What would you like to see in terms of nutrition and diet? Do you need more information about the Carb Rotation Diet? Do you need recipes?

I also will start a support community so you can post your before/after photos and help each other out and keep each other accountable.

So…. it’s up to you.

What do you need from me to help you get bikini ready abs?

Howdy,

It’s Tuesday and once again I did a Q&A with registered dietician, Jayson Hunter author of The Carb Rotation Diet and we talked about a simple strategy to create the ultimate beach body.

Carb rotating or carb cycling is becoming a more well known way of eating in recent months.

In fact, it’s the exact diet strategy that I used to get a flat stomach and six-pack abs.

(By the way, I am being really strict on my diet once again until the end of the month when it’s my birthday. I may ever do another photo shoot. : ) )

Jayson and I talked for about 10 minutes on exactly why carb rotating is so effective for fat loss.

He also talked about the differences between different types of carb rotating diets, specifically the differences between the high, low and no carb rotation versus the 3 days of low carbs followed by a high carb day.

But speaking from personal experience, carb rotating is the way to go if you want to blast your belly fat, look sexy in your swimsuit, AND still be able to eat your favorite foods.

Take a look at Jayson’s Carb Rotation Diet.

Also, don’t forget, after listening to the audio, please leave your Comments and ask any questions that you have for Jayson so he can answer them.

Have an amazing day.
