Experimenting With Your Avocado

• One of my personal favorite dishes is a half chopped avocado with egg. You can fry the egg or scramble it, completely up to your own personal taste bud preferences. Sometimes if you scoop the avocado out first then mash it back in, it is easier to eat.
• Eat the avocado plain or with dips (low fat dips remember)
• Another way is to mash and season the avocado then spread it onto whole-grain toast or crackers,

Spinning, which is an indoor group cycling class, is something that people of all ages and fitness levels can benefit from. If you think Spinning isn’t for you or tried it and didn’t like it, here are some reasons to try Spinning that will change your mind.

Burn More Calories:

Spinning will make you push myself. If you’re left to my own devices, sure you’d work out; but you would definitely go easier on yourself and put less time in. Spinning classes help motivate you to work harder and get a better workout than you would on your own. If motivation is an issue for you, or you’d rather walk when running starts to feel tiring, then Spinning class could be just the ticket you need.

Give Your Joints a Break:

Spinning is a low-impact cardio exercise, which means it’s easier on your joints, including your knees and ankles, than many other forms of cardio. Many people who are rehabilitating injuries or recovering from surgeries are advised to try low-impact forms of exercise in lieu of jarring activities like running. If you have an upper body injury, you can still ride the bike and get a good workout. Even if you don’t have joint issues now, it’s a good idea to alternate your high-impact exercises with some low- and no-impact exercises like Spinning to avoid overuse injuries and give those vulnerable joints a break every so often.

Stay in Control:

Think of your Spinning instructor as a friendly guide for your workout. He or she usually has a general plan in terms of movements, intensity changes and pace, but really, YOU are the one in control. You decide how much resistance to add, how fast to pedal, and how hard to work. This means that people of all fitness levels can take the same class and all get a great workout.

Enjoy the Great Indoors:

Many people love biking and the benefits it provides as a great cardio workout with low-impact on the joints but don’t love biking in traffic on the streets. Spinning will provide the same benefits without the uneasiness of cycling in a high-traffic area that’s unfriendly to bikes. If seasonal allergies or extreme weather forces you to take your outdoor workouts inside, Spinning is a great alternative.

It Doesn’t Cost Much:

Spinning has been around a while and at most gyms, classes like Spinning are included in your membership fees. If your gym doesn’t have Spinning, most locations will allow you to try a class for free. If you commit to Spinning or join a gym that has it, you don’t need any special equipment or attire to get started.

Feel the Energy:

When you’re at a class, chances are that everyone there loves it. That creates a positive, high-energy atmosphere that can motivate you to push yourself and make you feel good about working out. It makes the whole workout experience more fun and helps you feel connected with the people around you, like you’re all in it together.

In reality, the reason you may have gained weight probably has more to do with what you are eating and how much you are eating rather than the time of day you are eating. Eating the right protein at night can help you build muscle while you sleep. Eating low-glycemic carbs at night can help control your blood sugar the next day and even help you regulate your appetite.

Some are not-so-guilty pleasures, some are great snacks to have after a light dinner and others make fantastic post-workout snacks.

1. Coconut-Mango Cream

Here is a simple dessert that uses frozen mango and coconut milk to make a dish your friends will rave about. To make it vegan, opt for a vegan protein powder like hemp, brown rice or pea.

These simple-to-make no-bake cookies contain the great flavor combination of peanut butter and chocolate, along with a little hint of sweetness from honey. The addition of oats adds a punch of fiber and plant protein that makes them very satisfying.

3. Dark Chocolate

There is a big nutritional difference between your average convenience-store chocolate candy and cacao-rich dark chocolate. The dark chocolate lacks the high added sugar content of traditional chocolate and instead provides you an antioxidant punch that has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, fight inflammation and improve your mood.

4. Slushy

Here’s a better, no-added-sugar version that contains branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which can help decrease muscle soreness and stimulate muscle growth. Watch out for brain freeze!

5. Pistachios

Pistachios in the shell are an excellent nighttime snack because the shelling process requires some work, consequently slowing down how fast you can eat them. The slower you eat, the less you will consume. The combination of getting to eat more and having to eat them slower makes pistachios one of the best options. In addition, nuts come with a unique nutritional package because they contain fiber, biotin, vitamin B6, thiamin, folate, unsaturated fats and plant sterols, all of which makes them highly nutritious as well as satisfying.

6. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cottage Cheese

The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is arguably one of the best flavors in existence. This simple snack combines those two great flavors along with a creamy texture from cottage cheese. In addition, it provides a high dose of casein protein. Casein is the slower-digesting milk protein and has been shown to boost recovery while you sleep when taken later at night.

7. Raspberry Greek Yogurt

With this simple recipe for frozen Greek yogurt pops, you can do much better; it’s a nutritional treat with minimal prep. Greek yogurt is regular yogurt’s nutritionally superior sibling, with typically double the protein and half the carbs per serving. To make frozen Greek yogurt pops, mash three-quarters of a cup of raspberries in two cups of 2% plain Greek yogurt. Portion this mixture into popsicle molds and place in the freezer for several hours until completely frozen.

8. Pumpkin Seeds

One serving of pumpkin seeds contains almost 50 percent of your recommended intake of magnesium. Magnesium is an essential mineral that is used in more than 300 reactions in your body. One key area that magnesium addresses is relaxation. Magnesium is a relaxant, and high-magnesium snacks are ideal for helping you unwind at night. And the slight saltiness of roasted pumpkin seeds curbs your salty-snack craving that is usually quelled with potato chips.

9. Warm Milk and Honey

Warm milk has long been used as a sleep aid, making it a good late-night snack choice if you have trouble dozing off at night.  Adding honey to your warm milk will slightly boost the sugar content of your snack. This extra sugar is easily digested and can stimulate hormones that drive the formation of serotonin, making your warm milk assist in your sleep efforts from a psychological and physiological perspective.

10. Frozen Blueberries

The cold sweetness of frozen blueberries is very refreshing at the end of the day. Frozen blueberries are packed with just as many high-powered antioxidants as their fresh counterparts because they are flash frozen at peak ripeness. Blueberries are one of the best foods that you can eat for your health. If your diet can afford the extra calories, adding two tablespoons of cream ups the richness and sweetness of the treat.

11. Almonds

In addition, people who ate almonds experienced greater improvements in their total cholesterol and triglycerides, two key cardiovascular disease risk factors. Almonds are also another food that is high in magnesium. One ounce of almonds can be snacked on raw, roasted or seasoned with your favorite spice like curry or chili powder.

12. Kale Chips

Kale chips give you that great salty crunch without the extra fat and calories you’d get with regular potato chips. Kale chips also provide vitamins K, A and C and the cancer-fighting phytochemicals called carotenoids. Kale chips taste best when they are freshly baked.

The prep time is so minimal that you can easily whip up a batch while you are making dinner to enjoy them later in the evening.
