Chocolate Croissants, Pizza, Burgers, Fries….I Love This Diet!

Yeay! Free Day! Cheat Day! Binge Day! Whatever You Want to call it, it’s fun! It’s the day I get to eat everything I was craving throughout the week which, actually wasn’t all that much. Even though I can eat what ever I want, there is still a scientific order to how I go about eating it in order for my body to burn it as muscle as opposed to fat according to Tim. He says to stick to the same breakfast that you always have, and then pretty much eat whatever and how much of whatever you want with a few tips and tricks along the way. Grapefruit juice stabilizes your blood sugar before eating a chocolate croissant. Coffee well, the caffein in coffee revs up your metabolism and so does cinnamon, so including these tricks your body as well. To get a better idea of what Cheat Day Meals On The 4 Hour Body look like, I have put this post together for you. The following is what Tim Ferriss eats on his free day for breakfast:

5 Min. Low Carb Mixed Berry Chia Jam

I’m always looking for quick & easy+healthy+low carb options that taste good. I love my protein pancakes in the mornings, but do not want to put sugary syrup on them so I stumbled upon a great idea on Pinterest, and then decided to make my own version with what I had in the fridge. A 5 Min. Low Carb Mixed Berry Chia Jam is the perfect topper for protein pancakes on your low carb diet.5 Min. Low Carb Mixed Berry Chia Jam | www.4hourbodygrl.com

I better start with the disclaimer that this jam won’t be for everyone – if you want the traditionally sugar laden vibe, this probably isn’t for you. But if you like adding omega3’s and rich antioxidants anywhere you can into your life whenever possible and you’re okay with some texture (and a TON of flavor) in your jam, you and I belong to the same family. Hello and welcome.

I love jam and my son loves jam too, but the store-bought versions are all full of refined sugar.

 This is so cool! It’s sweet, it’s tart, it’s healthy, it’s quick and it’s easy. Love+love+love… That’s a lot of L-O-V-E!

 Fruit is not generally a slow carb food, but  a small amount berries that are rich in antioxidants, mellowed out but the chia seeds works because they are powerful little guys. They help prevent blood sugar spikes, are full of fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium and other minerals, and are also a good plant-based protein source!

You CAN freeze this recipe, too, and you should. If I’m making enough for one recipe, I’ll usually just get double the ingredients and make another batch. That way I can save myself a nice big jar of it in the freezer for an upcoming busy morning when I need it – NOW, plus less clean-up. You know I’m all about less clean-up.

Fresh, homemade, healthy, and not totally authentic but still ultra delicious – this is my version of homemade jam (made in the BLENDER in FIVE MINUTES).

Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor, to mix everything together. I like mine chunky, but blend it the consistency you like. Taste it and add more stevia if you would like a sweeter jam. Pour everything out onto a beautiful jar and allow to set in the fridge, for about an hour.
  2. That's it!

  1. This will last in the fridge for about 1 month.
