Good Morning!

Take a look at these “Must-Try” breakfasts, and then tell me if you think this is an excellent reference to refer to over and over again for delicious breakfast ideas that will keep you in perfect shape and make you feel good. 

Enough chitchat….let’s get to it right away.

 1. CINNAMON BUN PANCAKES from The Big Man’s World

Breakfast, lunch, and brinner: we’re talking about high protein/low carb goodness that meets the completely fluffy, golden brown, cozy deliciousness of cinnamon bun pancakes. Both the healthy and the good, together in one.  OH MY GOSH, yes!  Nuff said…Here’s the recipe.

2. COWBOY BREAKFAST SKILLET form Health Bent.

If there’s one thing that can make me like eggs, it’s combining them with sweet potatoes that got crispy in sausage grease. I’m not a huge hot sauce fan, but I do like a little and I know a lot of you are, so if you’re in to hot spice flavourful yum…this dish is for you. Get the recipe here.

3. Harissa Chorizo Egg Crepes form Primal Britain

Here is the recipe for this incredibly tasty omelet. Get more creative than just bacon and eggs. The bold flavors of the chorizo burst into your mouth, which is very satisfying. Avocado is a must with this dish too and you could also top it with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, but it doesn’t really need it. I would probably add spinach to this too. I like color in my food, it would go nicely and it adds some health benefits. 

4. SMOKED SALMON EGG STUFFED AVOCADOS from Grok & Grub

Have I told you how much I like avocados? I wrote an article on how good avocados are for you and all of the benefits. They’re amazing for weight loss, and keeping colds at bay. So many reasons to eat them.  

Go ahead and make these EGG STUFFED AVOCADOS with smoked salmon, like the fish. The pink one. But it’s smoky and rustic and making me feel all moutainy and wild. Who am I right now? I love it!  Something about the salty/smokey combo gets me every time. 

 

5. SUPER GREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL from Minimalist Baker

I make these often and my toddler really enjoys them too. You can whip them up in the blender in no time! Packed full of nutrients, you will have ridiculous energy to start your day. Get the recipe here.

6. Skinny Greek Omelet from www.skinnymom.com

Low Carb Greek Omelet | www.4hourbodygirl.com

This greek omelet “recipe” is so incredibly simple, quick and  delicious! I love feta and if you do too, you will love this. According to the 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss, you’re not supposed to eat dairy, but this is so little and makes such an impact, it’s worth it! I also like to add avocado. 

I’ve never been the kind of person who is good at self-pacing, so when I find a savory, creamy, egg  breakfast that I really, really enjoy…. OH HELLO I’m going to eat it all year. And this is that breakfast. You can find the recipe here.

7. Spicy Tomato Baked Eggs from Every Last Bite

10. “NEVER GET SICK AGAIN” – SMOOTHIE RECIPE

“NEVER GET SICK AGAIN” – SMOOTHIE RECIPE

You won’t even believe this right now: You can prevent getting sick or recover really fast by drinking this smoothie. I’ve tested it and it works! THIS RECIPE IS FILLING AND SATISFYING TOO. Just try getting all of the healthy ingredients into your system without blending them into this delicious concoction. I dare you! 

It’s hard to stay healthy, especially during the holidays… so my idea with this smoothie was to make something that would give me the healthy stuff I wanted (I SEE YOU SPINACH) while still tasting GREAT (BECAUSE I DON’T BELIEVE IN WASTING CALORIES) and leaving me room for the next holiday feast.

Get this recipe here.

4 Different Eating Plans for Fast Weight Loss

Creamy Kale Baked Eggs | www.4hourbodygirl.com

Ever wonder which eating plan is right for you? With so many different ways to lose weight, what would work for you vs. another way?  Is the 4-Hour BODY’s slow carb diet the way to go? How about Atkins’ Protein diet? Maybe a detox diet is the way to go? How do we know what we need and what would work best? I have put together a chart below, showing 4 Different Eating Plans for Fast Weight Loss to make it easy for you.  I also wanted to include a couple of recipes that would be good for all 4, depending on which plan you go with,  that will be enjoyable to eat and have you feeling satisfied. I want you to wake up and say to yourself…

This weekend was phe-nom. Anyone else feel that way? I got a lot of work done but also took some time off for a date with my boys. We went to the pool at the rec. centre. Plus I’m super happy because I re-arraged a whole bunch of furniture in my home and sold a bunch of stuff on Craigslist that I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned my obsession with Craigslist, but there you go… I have one. I’m consistently buying and selling E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G on there. I think I’ve mastered it so if you ever have any questions about that, let me know. 

Anyway, back to the subject at hand…

Who said it would be too hard to stay on your diet plans? Well, it is even easier than you thought, especially when you check out this 4 Different Eating Plan for Fast Weight Loss chart. Here, you will find a basic cheat sheet that will guide you through to help you make up your mind! I have already broken down the 4-Hour BODY into a cheat sheet in a different post and you can access it hereYou will see that thanks to diet plans and an exercise schedule, getting slim and healthy will happen before you know it.
 
Here are some quick facts about 4 different diets so you can choose which one would work best for you. We have already covered day 1 on the Ultimate Cheat Day post, but let’s revisit it before continuing with the next 3 so you can see them side-by-side! This one is the one we talk about most here on 4-Hour BODY Girl, the other 3 are similar but a little different.

Again, ATHLETIC GREENS is perfect for every diet. Drink this for more energy and to rev up your metabolism.
 
 
 
For breakfast you could make these Creamy Kale Baked Eggs from Health Starts In The Kitchen. You could omit the egg yolk and the cheese if you are doing the Detox or Metabolism Diet. Otherwise, it is perfectly suitable for each of these plans, so easy and quite tasty! You can get the recipe for this here. I added garlic powder when I made mine and it turned out amazing!

For lunch or dinner this Korean Barbecue Tofu Bowl with Stir-Fried Veggies is suitable for all of these diets but will have you saying YUM! Get the recipe here at Oh My Veggies. Oh my…was this delicious! I used BRAGG instead of soy sauce to make it even healthier.  Bragg Liquid Aminos is a Certified NON-GMO liquid protein concentrate derived from soybeans that tastes just like soy sauce but is waaaaaaay healthier.
