The Phelps Diet

I wonder if the restaurant gives Michael a discount??
OK so this is not a diet, but if you were Michael Phelps and needed to produce that kind of energy day in and day out you would have a different diet too.
Healthy Omelettes
August 15, 2008
Omelettes are an easy way to add veggies to your morning breakfast. This is great way to be creative with your veggies there’s lots of different veggies to include, different ways to prepare and cheeses to include for different tastes and textures for your mouth to enjoy.
Some good choices
- Onions
- Spinach
- Mushrooms
- Yellow Squash
- Zucchini
- Tomatoes
- Broccoli
- I’m not sure there’s a bad veggie for an omelette. It’s up to your creativity.
Healthy Breakfast Choices
August 5, 2008
My favorite Breakfast: Oatmeal, and I don’t mean oatmeal out of a package or cardboard box. The taste of fresh organic oatmeal is so much better than anything prepackaged and it is simple to prepare. Can you boil water?
Some Oatmeal ideas
- My #1 choice: raisins and apples sliced up into small bite size chunks.
- Bananas and peanut butter. The heat really brings out the flavors
- Pouched egg, protein
- Mixed fruit, right now blueberrys are in season
- Be creative, it’s hard to create bad oatmeal
Some other addition for oatmeal: Wheat bran, butter or coconut butter, flax-seed meal, and for sweetners, I like maple syrup or honey (lots of trace minerals). What’s your favorite way to make Breakfast?
My best morning tea, today
Green tea with squeezes from a lemon and some honey. This is easy & fast to make, but there are plenty of benefits. Green tea has plenty of great qualities including properties that help with weight loss. Lemons have plenty of health rich nutrients including cancer fighting carotenoids and flavonoids. Lemons will also help the stomach to shrink so you will eat less during the day. Raw honey also has lots of healthy properties.
This green tea recipe is a great way to start the day. I usually wait about 20+ minutes before eating breakfast.
