The future of food is in the hands of our kids. Lets teach them right.
The younger the better…
“What’s Wrong With Our Food System”- An 11 Year Old Speaks the Truth
Are you scrambling around in the mornings like eggs in a pan trying to fix a quick and nutritious breakfast?
If so, then give this jacked up French Toast recipe a try to feed those hungry muscles before you head out there door.
High Protein Feel Good French Toast
2 slices of 100% Multi-Grain Bread
3 Omega 3 enriched Eggs
1/4 cup of milk
1 scoop of vanilla protein powder
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of vanilla extract
-Take the eggs, milk, protein powder, cinnamon, and vanilla and whisk them together in a bowl.
-Spray a non stick pan with cooking spray and turn to medium heat.
-Soak each piece of bread for at least 1 minute in the mixture pressing down as to make the toast absorb as much as possible.
-Fry each piece 2-4 minutes each side until golden brown.
Top with fresh fruit or berries…Enjoy!
I have been on an iTunes kick lately downloading a couple audio books a week and watching documentaries. (Better than crappy cable!)
If you liked the documentary Food Inc., (which I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it yet) you will also like Killer at Large.
This film provides a strong wake up call about the dangerous rise of obesity, especially in our kids as well as the importance of local organic farming.
I remember meeting with world-renown strength and conditioning expert Charles Poliquin a few years back and we talked about the alarming rate of childhood obesity. With his informative wit he said “When I was growing up, the fat kids in school were made fun of because they were the minority, now childhood obesity has gotten so bad it’s the skinny kids in school that are being made fun of”
Sad but true. ..Unfortunately, this is not a laughing matter and I believe it all starts at home in teaching our kids the value in preparing and eating REAL food. Then the schools need to step up and give health education the same importance as math and science. How smart are you really when you are destroying your health?
Now I also don’t agree with being a food Nazi and raising our kids on some strict diets. We let our daughter Matea enjoy being a kid by having the typical treats that we all enjoy from time to time. But like I stress in my Dad Fitness Cookbook, Fast Food For Fit Families, you can strike the perfect balance between food and fitness if you prepare healthy meals at home. Matea’s favorite is my Tasty Turkey Meatloaf!
So I hope you take the time to watch this film this weekend so you don’t have to be watching your kids weight…
Do you eat breakfast?…I hope so. But do you eat a HEALTHY breakfast?
Unlike this belly buster breakfast in a box that weighs in with over 1000 calories, 2000mg in sodium and 64 grams of artery-clogging FAT!
I know some mornings as a busy dad just seem too crazy to prepare a healthy breakfast, like this morning when I was trying to get my daughter Matea ready to go to the sitter’s…
When I finally pulled her away from playing Dora Candyland and got her in the car…nothing…not a gig…the car wouldn’t start!
Luckily I had some booster cables in my truck and boosted the car, but took the truck anyway just in case.
…Matea was happy as she loves riding in “Daddy’s BEEG truck”
So for crazy mornings when you seem to run out of minutes before meals try my 1 Minute Busy Man’s Breakfast
I am EXCITED!
…because first I have a NEW exercise video to share with you that builds strong legs, with a cool new twist on an exercise that I bet you haven’t tried;-)
…and second I am OFFICIALLY on vacation!
My wife and I both finished up work today and we are packing up the Murano with Matea and all her “stuffed” friends and hittin’ the road on Sunday to the beautiful East Coast of New Brunswick here in Canada.
We will be gone for a couple weeks, spending some time at Kathy’s sisters as well as taking Matea to Magic Mountain waterpark and Crystal Palace amusement park.
I am also looking forward to hitting the most beautiful beaches North of Virginia as we have a cottage booked for 3 nights in Shediac during the Lobster Festival.
I hope we have better luck in New Brunswick this time around than we did when we bought the car 2 years ago there and got rear ended at a stop sign by some guy on a motorcycle…
Luckily our accident wasn't this bad!
Did you know Shediac, New Brunswick is known as the “Lobster Capital of the World”?
…and I intend to get my hands on the famous 36 ft Lobster…even if he is a cast-iron crustacean!
As for my 3 workouts a week, personally I like to take 2 weeks off from my workouts once a year during our summer vacation to rest my body and mind.
After another year of consistent Dad Fitness workouts and natural eating I will take this time to relax with my family and enjoy some fine food.
If you are heading out on vacation this summer remember,
“It’s not what you do from June to July that counts, it’s what you do from July to June that really matters;-)
I will stay in touch with you guys on the road the best I can but before I get busy getting the car packed with Dora and Barbie, I have a cool new exercise video to share with you that will help you build lean, strong legs so you can keep up with the kids this summer.
Have a FIT and FUN Summer living the Dad Fitness Lifestyle!
Now…what did I do with that Lobster bib?…
