Studies have shown this for years and those on high sugar diets tend to have 32% higher triglycerides when consuming processed foods. 

What happens is your body can’t metabolize all this HFCS and sugar consumed in processed foods as fast as you eat it.  So your liver puts some of the foods glucose and HFCS into your bloodstream to be used for energy.  The rest of it is stored for later use. 

The problem is if your liver’s tank is full it will store these sugars as excess triglycerides.  Your liver can store about 90-100 grams of glycogen, so it converts the excess to fat or triglycerides. 

When you maintain a healthy weight or follow healthy weight loss you can keep your triglyceride level in check.  If you are overweight or are gaining weight your triglycerides will start to accumulate and become a key predictor of heart disease or strokes. 

If you are overweight or gaining weight here is what you need to do.  Lay off the sugary and starchy foods as well as the sugared drinks.  Make sure you are exercising at a higher intensity for 5 days a week.  Your body wasn’t built to handle all that sugar and you need to make sure you are burning enough calories to use what you do eat for energy and not have excess sugars left over to be stored as fat.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete or committed exerciser, at some point you’ve probably experienced excessive fatigue and muscle soreness following your workout. Sometimes this tiredness can hold you back from working out as hard as you’d like for many days.  In order to reduce this feeling of delayed recovery and allow your body to get back into the game sooner than later, you need to appreciate the importance of proper exercise nutrition.

Research scientists have shown that proper nutrition supplementation is critical for recovery from intense weight-training and endurance exercise. Most recently, the evidence points to a specific combination of carbohydrates and protein as being the most effective for restoring muscle glycogen (the fuel you use while exercising), repairing muscle damage, preventing muscle breakdown, and promoting muscle growth.  All of these factors are important for your timely return to your workout plan.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the World Health Organization, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, and the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion agree – you should eat more fruits and vegetables.

Up to 10 total servings a day!

  That’s a lot of food.  

And besides having to eat all that food, maybe you don’t love the taste of fruits, vegetables or greens.  Or you don’t have time to shop 2-3 times a week to buy fresh fruits, vegetables and greens? 

 And don’t get me started about preparing the food (washing, chopping, peeling, dicing, mincing, steaming, grilling, microwaving, broiling, and baking can be a real pain in the rear!)

Until recently the only coffee options we have had were to use the seed of the coffee plant or using the roasted bean.  Unfortunately coffee growers threw away the red fruit of the coffee plant because they didn’t know how to use it and it would rot quickly.  

Technology and scientists have figured out a way to utilize that wonderful red fruit from the coffee plant and all its beneficial properties.   The fruit of the coffee bush is this red fruit that contains the coffee bean.  Many knew that there were a lot of nutrients within the fruit as well because like many plants the nutrients are distributed throughout the entire plant and not just in a seed.
 
There are many new health benefits being observed and researched by scientists and a company has taken much of this information and developed a way to utilize the entire coffee fruit.  They call it Coffeeberry and it contains much higher levels of important nutrients than conventional coffee.

Banana Ice Cream

1 scoop Prograde Protein Vanilla
12oz almond milk
1/2-1 sliced banana

Blend Prograde protein powder, banana and milk together in a blender until it is mixed well.  Then put in the freezer until frozen.  Once frozen then enjoy!

Tip: Healthy ice cream will come out harder than conventional high fat, high sugar ice creams.  My suggestion is to portion out the blended mix into serving bowls or tupperware bowls and then freeze.  Then just take out your serving and let it set on the counter for 10 minutes.  If you can’t wait that long put it in the microwave for 30 seconds or so and then enjoy!

Peanut Butter Bars

2/3 cup flax meal
2 scoops Prograde Protein Vanilla
4 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Water
Stevia, to taste (approx: 2tsp)

Blend ingredients together in a bowl until it becomes a blob of dough.  It will be somewhat sticky.  Place the sticky dough into a small casserole or baking pan and smooth out into a flat level surface.  Then put in the refrigerator to cool or you can freeze them if you prefer.  Once cooled or frozen you can cut them up into bars. 

Makes approximately (4) 2in x 4in bars.

Nutrition Data per bar:

Calories:  205
Protein: 18 gms
Carbs: 7 gms
Fat: 11 gms

If you would like a lower calorie bar and maybe less of a peanut butter taste you can modify the ingredients by using 2.5 scoops of Prograde Protein powder, 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter, 1/3 cup of water and 2tsp of Stevia.  This will lower the calories per bar by approximately 35 calories, 3 less grams of fat, 1 less gram of carbs and 1 extra gram of protein. 

This recipe is also rich not only in natural monounstaturated fats that can help lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol, plus raise HDL (good) cholesterol, but rich in Omega 3 fats because of the flax meal and Omega 3 fats that flax meal provides.  You will consume about 2.5 gms of Omega 3 fats per bar.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream

1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
1 scoop Prograde Protein Vanilla
2 Tbsp Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 cup Almond Milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Blend ingredients together in a blender until a smooth consistency is reached.  Pour into a bowl and place in freezer until frozen to an ice cream consistency.

Makes approximately 3 servings.

Nutrition Data per serving:

Calories:  174
Protein: 20 gms
Carbs: 7 gms
Fat: 7 gms

Cinnamon is added because research has shown it to be a very good blood sugar controlling spice.  Natural Peanut Butter is full of monounsaturated fat, this can help lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol, plus raise HDL (good) cholesterol.  If you want a little less peanut butter taste you can use 1 Tbsp of Natural Peanut Butter and it reduces the fat grams by 3 and calories per serving by 24.  When the ice cream comes out of the freezer let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes or warm it up slightly.  The ice cream will be harder than high sugar, high fat conventional ice cream because it doesn’t contain all that excessive sugar and fat.
