Metabolic Efficiency all around

Well, some very exciting things are happening surrounding my Metabolic Efficiency concept.

#1: My book, Metabolic Efficiency Training: Teaching the Body to Burn More Fat, is due out in a couple of weeks. I have been extremely excited throughout my writing process because it was time for me to take all of the information I have learned about this topic in the past few years and finally make it available to other athletes, coaches and sports nutritionists. I am an educator and absolutely love exploring new ways to improve health and performance. Initially, my book will be for sale on the Fuel4mance website (www.fuel4mance.com) so stay tuned!

#2: It seems like a day does not go by that I hear from one of the athletes with whom I have worked with on how great they are feeling, how much weight or body fat they have lost and how good their training is going since shifting their diet to reflect more metabolically efficient ways. This continual feedback is why I do what I do and I love it! From the Ironman athlete to the average person exercising a few times per week, the testimonials keep rollin' in!

#3: I have been chatting with a colleague who is a chef about writing a metabolic efficiency cookbook. A much needed resource that I have been asked about quite often so I'm exploring that route and hope to have a good resource for athletes in the near future.

Lastly, I featured a metabolic efficiency article in the last Fuel4mance "The Fueling Station" free monthly newsletter. If you would like to subscribe to this free newsletter, visit the Fuel4mance website and click on "contact" then "free newsletter".

The holidays are fast approaching. My advice is simple: implement your metabolic efficiency journey now and don't make excuses to wait after the holidays. Trust me, adopting it now will help you navigate the holidays more successfully!

Until next time...

Metabolically Efficient breakfast

I was recently asked how to turn a traditional oatmeal breakfast into a more metabolically efficient breakfast. Here are two great ideas:

Eggs (need at least 3-4), scrambled with black beans, peppers, tomatoes, garlic and mushrooms. Season with some spices (my favorites are turmeric and basil or rosemary, black pepper and a bit of red pepper)

My favorite that has kicked out my super oatmeal for breakfast during my metabolic efficiency times:

Plain yogurt, whey protein isolate powder, frozen blueberries, extra virgin olive oil, pecans or walnuts, dark cocoa baking powder, spoonful of natural, crunchy peanut butter

(the trick is to microwave the blueberries so they are soft and hot first)

There you have it. Try one and expect your hunger to go away for at least 3-3.5 hours!
