Did you know...
That adding something as simple as Cayenne Pepper to one of your meals could help boost your fat burning? Don't believe me? Check this out... Capsaicin is the active compound in Cayenne pepper. It has been linked to helping reduce abdominal fat, decrease hunger, and thereby reduces your caloric intake. Not a magic pill but it is an easy addition to your eat-clean meal plan right?
Here's a quick and fun recipe for a sweet and spicy breakfast:
Cayenne Chocolate Oatmeal
1/2 Scoop of Chocolate Shakeology or Close Equivalent Protein powder
2/3 cup Quick Oats
1 cup HOT water
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Mix, eat, enjoy. You might need a little extra water to help ease the spice, but the combination is AWESOME!

Grapefruit can boost your metabolism as well. Thiamine is one of the major contributors to metabolizing glucose in the body. Glucose aka sugar is a MAJOR contributor to obesity. No, fat is not the true enemy of the people, it is excess sugar!! So, why not add some grapefruit to your daily healthy eating? We cannot avoid sugar, nor should we try to avoid it all together. Our body needs a specific level of sugar to operate properly. Anyone with low-blood sugar can attest to that. But, in case you overdo it, eat some fresh grapefruit to counter it.
Fresh or Juice?
Fresh versus juice. Sure grapefruit juice is a great source of Thiamine as well, but if it isn't freshly squeezed from the fruit, it has added sugars that you do not need or want! Go for the fruit every time! Natural is usually always the best choice!
And now a word from your Coach...
No matter what, eating clean and healthy is an every day lifestyle, not a fad diet. Stay away from diets, they make you fat! Make a conscious effort and decision to be healthy every day, and you will make the right choices when it comes to eating! For more tips, giggles, and fun, follow me on Twitter, and Facebook!
