You know how you usually think of lobster as a very special and expensive treat?  Well, not this year.  Since people consider lobster to be a luxury food, demand is way, way down this year, and supply is way, way up thanks to really good oversight of fishing practices.

More supply + less demand = cheaper lobster.

It’s actually cheaper than steak right now.  So, my fiancé (will be my wife tomorrow!) and I have been taking advantage.

This weekend we went to Harris Teeter and got 8 lobster tails for about $21.  (A year ago I think that one lobster tail in a restaurant was $20.)

First I would like to thank everyone who came out to my 20min Fat Loss Solution Bootcamp last Saturday.  Thanks!   We’re doing the drawing on Friday.

Doing that bootcamp was a lot of fun and I’m seriously considering adding 1 or 2 to my offerings on a regular basis.

This is my 56sec video montage of the event:

Low Carb Crepes

You will never believe what these things are made of (in a good way).  Me and my fiancé had a pre-wedding shower this weekend, and one of the things that she made for the event were these low-carb crepes that nobody suspected were low-carb.

The Body You Want – Personal Trainer DC

Q: When is spaghetti a vegetable?

A: When it’s a spaghetti squash!

We all know that we will have less body fat, better health, and more energy with fewer processed carbs in our lives. The spaghetti squash offers a way to improve your physique and eat a yummy old favorite at the same time. Try this as a side dish with your favorite protein, or add ground turkey, beef, or imitation meat to the sauce for a complete meal.

Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash
Salt & pepper to taste
1 jar pasta sauce (with no sugar added)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450? F. Chop squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and slimy gunk; be thorough and get it all.
  2. Spray lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes.
  3. Let the squash cool approximately 5 minutes. Scrape the tines of a fork across the insides to separate the “spaghetti,” scoop out, top with sauce, and enjoy.

Nutrition Facts

Number of servings depends on the size of your squash. Per 1.5 cup serving with 1/2 cup sauce including some olive oil is 150 kcal.
