The Disheveled Fitness Chef – Josef Makes a Low-Carb Mock Danish
July 30, 2009 by admin
I can’t believe how yummy this simple recipe is!
One of my clients, Paula (not Dean), was kind enough to share this mock Danish recipe with me. So, now everyone asking for breakfast ideas beyond bacon and eggs has a new and easy option.
Oh, and while I am disheveled on the video I always shower before I meet with clients:-).

1 large egg, beaten(0.6)

More Ideas From Paula About Variations on the Mock Danish
“I sometimes use a couple of tablespoons of the DaVinci’s sugar-free syrups instead of a Splenda packet, like raspberry or cinnamon. Also, a sprinkle of cinnamon makes it taste even more like a cinnamon roll. It’s also good with a spoonful of SF jam on top. There are lots of ways to modify it.”

July 23, 2009 by admin
What is the best kept secret of the fit? Is it a special diet, magic pill or a special lotion that they rub on their fat to make it disappear? Or is it those fat-burning magnetic shoe inserts?
None of the above. The best kept secret of the fit is that, on average, they only have about 24 hours in a day. The funny thing is that this is almost the same amount of time that unfit people have in their day.
The only difference is in how those 24 hours are applied. Another word for that is time management.
If you know what to do, then the only other hurdle is making what you know show up in what you do over the next 24 hours, and then the next 24 hours and then the next.
Getting the body you want is just the accumulation of a lot of small victories in personal behavior (choice) day-in and day-out. You don’t get it from one good day of eating, or five good days followed by two days of crap.
Labor Day is September 7th. That’s about five weeks away from today. You have two choices about what you will be doing in five weeks:
#1. You can be busy coming up with reasons why you look and feel essentially the same as you do today. (This is otherwise known as coming up with excuses.)
#2. You can be answering the question, “what did you do? You look fantastic! You look so much better than the last time I saw you!”
In five weeks you are going to be five weeks older regardless. The only question is if you will be five weeks fitter or five weeks fatter?
Nobody is going to put a gun to your head and force you down either path. There is just you and yourself and your behavior. You and your little choices day-in and day-out. Its all rather un-dramatic stuff. Its just a bunch of regular old days.
But if you string together five weeks with good choices day-in and day-out you can work miracles – like 10 or 20 pound miracles. And, if you keep on doing what you’re doing then you’ll be exactly where you are today, but five weeks older.
Its all you. Nobody will be putting a gun to your head and forcing you to eat starchy carbs or miss workouts. Just like nobody will be putting a gun to your head and getting you to eat your steak and hit the gym.
Maybe I can help one or two of you reading this Blog post, but I can only help people who will help themselves.

July 21, 2009 by admin
My fiancé is out of town for 17days:-(. So when this happens I find myself spending a lot of time at my parents house because I like to steal their food as I don’t really cook very much for myself.
When I came back from Indianapolis this past weekend I found something amazing in my mom’s fridge – low carb pumpkin bread! I know what you’re thinking, “that probably tasted like crap.” And I can understand why you’d think that. I was very skeptical of this “bread” myself. Not too skeptical to eat it, but skeptical nonetheless.
It was fantastic!
My mom got this new cookbook called Eating Stella Style: Low-Carb Recipes for Healthy Living
This is George and family before low-carb – that’s not just big bones!
This is George and family after low-carb
This promises to be a really great cookbook.
