GREAT quote

An excellent quote I read from Dr. William Sears, author of the book 'Prime-Time Health: A Scientifically Proven Plan for Feeling Young and Living Longer' (he's also a colon cancer survivor)

Dr. Sears' RULE OF TWOs -
"Eat twice as often, eat half as much, and chew twice as long"
Another -
"Eat foods that grow in fields and on trees, swim in the sea, run on the land, and spend very little time in factories."

Rachel Cosgrove's Breakfast Ideas

Hey Campers, Rachel Cosgrove has a awesome website or check her out on Facebook at
The Female Body Breakthrough

Here is a great post with some breakfast ideas. Thanks Rachel!

One of my rules is to eat breakfast within 15 minutes of waking up. Why? To get your body into optimal, fat burning mode ASAP. By fueling your body with healthy food as soon as you can when you wake up you are triggering your blood sugar to get into a zone where your body will be happy to use fat for fuel, have energy and feel good. Then keep that going by eating every 2-3 hours.

Ideas for breakfast -
Eggs, Spinach, 1/2 grapefruit

Turkey Breast, sliced apples (I will grab some slices of turkey breast and just eat it with my hands while eating apple slices to go with it)

Yoghurt, almonds and blueberries

Hardboiled Eggs(always have some hardboiled eggs ready to go in the fridge), Banana
Oatmeal with Protein Powder and walnuts and cinnamon

A shake- 2 scoops whey with berries blended

Cottage Cheese and Strawberries

Ezekiel Bread or a Rice Cakes with Peanut Butter or Almond Butter
"Nut Butter Burrito" - A spelt Tortilla with Peanut Butter or Almond Butter on it wrapped up

String Cheese, Piece of Fruit

Turkey Burger or Buffalo Burger- Cook the Patty and have it with Avocado

Scramble- Eggs with ground turkey, beans, onions, mushrooms and salsa

If you haven't eaten yet today- Go eat and Fuel Your Body to Be Fabulous( Fit Female Credo #3).
