I can do this

I’m absolutely NOT a parent, but I know how tough it can be to plan meals for myself… So I can only imagine how tough it is when you have people actually depending on you to get fed.

Well, I just found out that one of my cousins, Jennifer Kahn, has a blog with amazing-looking meals that are also…

Smart Balance Popcorn

This popcorn is 25 calories a cup and 4 cups per bag so that would be 100 calories per bag instead of 200 per bag. I recommend this popcorn because its low calorie and super fucking delicious!

muffintop-less:

Protein Cheesecake

½ cup fat-free cream cheese

½-1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein

Stevia extract

Unsweetened almond milk

Wheat or Graham cracker (optional)

sugar-free jelly or fresh fruit (optional)

If you’re like me and have a GNARLY sweet tooth, you will be likely be extremely tempted by desserts. The trick of course, to stay on track with your diet, is to get CREATIVE in the kitchen! I mix my protein powder with just about ANYTHING to make a yummy dessert… and it does the trick! Try this simple recipe, which is under 200 calories (depending on the toppings and extras). I can eat this without the graham cracker or jelly/fruit and still be satisfied by its yummy goodness! =D

Omg. I must make this some time.

agorgeousworld:

TOP TEN FOODS THAT BURN BELLY FAT:

1. Oatmeal
It’s rich in fiber and the whole grain oats help keep your appetite at bay.

2.Nuts
Nuts such as almonds and peanuts are very rich in essential fatty acids that play a major role in weight loss.

3.Olive Oil
Given it’s fatty nature, olive oil is good to satisfy your body’s natural urge for fat.

4. Eggs
They actually have the highest protein proportion than any other food, pretty good eh? This is one of the better foods that burn belly fat.

5.Whey Protein
Rich in amino acids, whey protein helps build a lean body and helps get rid of body fat. Great for busy people.

6. Berries
Naturally full of fiber, which aids in metabolizing fat, berries are great for those that like a tasty snack.

7. Lean Meats
Meats such as fish and chicken are full of protein, and very low in carbs.

8. Whole Grains
Full of complex carbs, aka good carbs, whole grains are better than the processed stuff. Eat whole grain cereal and whole bread instead of the “white” processed junk

9. Peanut Butter
Make sure it’s all-natural peanut butter, rich in protein and essential fatty acids. Eat 1-2 tablespoons daily for better digestion. Choose organic peanut butter, the other stuff has hydrogenated oils in it, which makes your belly fat.

10.Green Veggies
Didn’t your mother always say to eat your veggies? Mother was right, veggies are packed full of fiber, our favorite ingredient for losing weight.

It’s actually easy for me to never have soda. Because I actually like to drink water. Water and tea is pretty much all I drink, with the occasional juice. I just think it’s silly to drink calories. I’d rather enjoy eating them.
