Diet Food: Dan’s Big Bowl of Mush

Before we talk about “diet food’, if there is such a thing, lets talk about the “secret” to weight loss.

There is no secret!

Simply create a calorie deficit through exercise and eating less.

How do you eat less?

By making your food as “filling” as possible so you aren’t tempted to eat more.

In this video I used the following ingredients:

Ingredients

Whey Protein – 1 scoop

Muesli – 50g

Strawberries – 300g

Almonds – 18g

Cinnamon – 1 tsp

Xanthan Gum – 1 tsp

Add water, mix (or blend), put in the fridge to set, and enjoy!

The take home message, if you are trying to lose weight, is to try and make your food as “bulky” and “filling” as possible. This is whilst ensuring the food is still lower in calories, of course. There really aren’t such a thing as “diet foods”. But foods that will help when losing weight, will usually be those high in fibre. This is why I have used strawberries, muesli and almonds for this recipe.

Additionally, lean protein is often filling and lower in calories! As are cruciferous vegetables and fruit (eaten whole, not blended or juiced of course!)

Dan’s Fear of Failure Rant

https://howistayfit.com/focus/fear-of-failure-rant/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRl_JMSj0mc&feature=youtu.be Dan’s Fear of Failure Rant Dan’s Fear of Failure Rant – random thoughts from the kitchen! Too many people waste their potential in life… a deep topic here! Clearly this dieting is taking it’s toll right now haha! It’s true though. It absolutely kills me how many people I see waste their potential. This isn’t limited to fitness! People’s fear of failure paralyses them in all areas of their life! They are scared to even try something in case they don’t succeed. Successful people are often idealised for their achievements. But what you don’t hear about is how many times they had to keep trying and failing in order to succeed! There are no larger restraints on our potential than those we place on ourselves! Be amazing. Be awesome! Get in the game. Have a go at least. And if you get knocked down, learn ...

Traps Training

https://howistayfit.com/training/traps-training/ Traps Training admin 04/02/2019 Big traps are cool! In fact I’d say having big traps is freakin awesome! Abs are obviously cool too. But the problem is that unless you walk around all day without a shirt on, nobody will even know you have that coveted six pack! But a big pair of traps on the other hand, are noticeable with or without a shirt on! Even while wearing a long sleeve shirt! I don’t think any other body part can get the same admiration and attention even while covered up! Trapezius By “traps”, I am of course referring to the trapezius muscle, that is visible on top of the shoulders, tying in the shoulders to the neck. In my opinion it gives the impression of a powerful strong physique! How to train your traps The traps are hit INDIRECTLY through exercises like deadlifts and rows. And to an extent presses, pull ups, and pull downs. They are also used in back squats. But to isolate and hit t...
