Coconut Crusted Chicken Strips. I came up with the idea of doing a recipe along these lines because I’m quite fond of combining coconut flavors with chicken. Some of my favourite Thai dishes are based on this combination and in order to keep them as favourites, I have to introduce some new dishes, otherwise, I will eat myself sick of them. So I decided to create something new isn’t Thai and this is what I’ve come up with; coconut crusted chicken strips. Sounds pretty delicious right? Probably the best thing about this recipe is the fact that it’s probably one of the healthiest chicken strip recipes you’ll ever come across.

This dish is amazing as a main, with a simple salad as a side, but it also works just as well as a finger food, or appetizer. If you decide to enjoy those chicken strips as a main, some good ideas for sides are the special sweet potato salad, the raspberry and spinach salad, the mushroom salad or the guacamole with radish and oranges. The recipe I’m sharing with you is quite basic. Ingredients. Matt Karstetter’s 5 Tips That Can Make all the Difference. 1.

How Much Protein Do You Need To Build Muscle And Burn Fat? How much protein do you really need to build muscle and burn fat? You can literally ask this question to ten different “experts” and get ten different (and often contradictory) answers. For example, a bodybuilder may tell you to eat two or more grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.

A fitness enthusiast will argue that one-gram per pound is more than enough. And research has shown that one half of a gram of protein per pound of lean bodyweight is adequate for muscle building. With all of this conflicting information out there, it’s no wonder that proper protein intake has become one of the most controversial topics in all of sports nutrition. I, too, was once utterly confused about optimal protein intake. But now, after years of experimenting, I have total clarity on this heavily debated topic. Protein Intake Experiment Although I didn’t realize it at the time, my protein experimentation began when I first started training, some 25 years ago. Guess what happened? 8. Maybe I’m wrong. How To Guide: Carb Cycling Made Easy. Carb Cycling is a low/no-carbohydrate diet with intermittent periods of high or moderate carbohydrate consumption; essentially you are cycling your carbs to achieve a desired result.

Most people have the misconception that consuming low carbs on a day to day basis for long periods of time is good for them. The main problem with low-carb diets is that they are meant as temporary diets; they deplete your energy and strength and are not the best method when attempting to lose body fat and retain muscle. You cannot eat that way forever. Your body needs carbs for daily functions. There are also those individuals who preach high carb diets.

While high carb diets help to speed your metabolism, they are not ideal for weight-loss or reduction of body fat as there is not a sufficient deficit to help you shed the pounds. Carb cycling works by giving your body the fuel it needs to increase your metabolism and create a calorie deficit to increase fat loss. High CarbLow/moderate CarbNo/low Carb Days. A Quick Guide On BCAA Supplementation. Few supplements on the market today tout strong backing from scientific research, of which Branch Chained Amino Acids (BCAA's) are one of them. They are immensely popular amongst the fitness community due to their positive effect on muscle building, as well as their use for staving off muscle breakdown while dieting. When utilized correctly in ones diet and supplement regimen, BCAA's can be one of the most integral additions to your proverbial supplement toolbox. The amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine are the family of building blocks that make up Branched-Chain Amino acids.

These aminos are in a group known as essential amino acids, which are those that humans need to get from our diet and cannot produce on our own. BCAA's are unique because in free form, like found in Beast BCAA's or Aminolytes, are absorbed right into the bloodstream after digestion unlike intact proteins, which you will learn leads to many of their amazing benefits. Now that is nothing more than theory. Blueberry Cucumber Smoothie. The following is a very quick and simple Paleo recipe for a delicious blueberry cucumber smoothie. It might seem like an odd combination, but it’s truly delicious. Even though cucumbers are technically and botanically a fruit, they are one of the rare ones to be more on the savory side of the spectrum so they are often considered and prepared as a vegetable. A lot of people do not like to mix fruits and vegetables, because of the conflicting sweet and savory tastes, but cucumber is quite neutral in taste and it reduces a little bit the sweetness of the blueberries.

If you already have the cookbook, you’re probably already quite familiar with the array of smoothie and shake recipes it contains. A little bit like my generic formula for a Paleo smoothie, this one also calls for coconut milk to give it some extra richness and make it very filling and nutritious. Enjoy this very quick smoothie recipe whenever you feel pressed by time and when a home cooked meal is just out of the question. The A's. How the Food You Eat Makes You More (or Less) Productive.

"Learn to graze: From the first section in this post, we've learned that the brain needs very specific portions of food. " This line refers to the first section "How food interacts with your brain", which talks about the glycemic index, glucose levels, and leptin; and their effect on level of focus. The glycemic index is intended to assist those people with insulin problems (diabetics) with maintaining blood sugar levels, not to assist dieters. Those of us without diabetes have insulin that regulates blood glucose levels and therefore do not need to "graze" to maintain a average.

The example used was a donut vs. some oats. You can get the same benefit of eating the 5 small meals you mention by eating one meal consisting of a big burrito (beans - lower glycemic index; rice - high; meat - no glycemic index, b/c no carb, but protein digests slower than carbs).
