FLUFF!!

Thanks to Martin Berkhan's Leangains, I found my new love - PROTEIN FLUFF! He makes his with casein protein, so it whips up better, so I used one of his blog reader's suggestion to whip up egg whites to soft peaks before adding the whey protein powder that I have here.

I tried chocolate with mashed frozen banana pieces first using skim milk, but it didn't get nearly as fluffy. The vanilla, above, is seriously the texture of meringue! I put it in the freezer in the hopes of exponentially increasing it's fluffy goodness. I'll let you know how it turns out.

In the meantime, if you want to experiment with this yummy, deceptively healthy snack, check out Martin's site - just do a search for "fluff."

Pictured above:
1.5 scoops EAS vanilla whey = approx 32 g protein
2 egg whites = about 6 g protein
ZERO carbs

100% yummy. Can't wait for my 9 p.m. snack!

Did you include the other ingredients from Martin’s recipe with the egg white mixture, or just the whey powder? What is your technique for incorporating the powder into the fluffy eggs? If I mix it in with the mixer, it goes totally flat. If I fold it in, it is rediculously tedious, it doesn’t get very smooth, and it still falls quite a bit. I would love to know if I am missing something. Thanks!

Make it as posted - the egg whites are critical. Just like making meringue but you're adding whey or casein powder instead of sugar to make it fluff up!

Optimal Fasting Times for Female Fat Loss - A discussion.

How long should I fast? This is probably the most common question I see among women new to Intermittent Fasting. Unfortunately there is no hard-and-fast definitive answer to this question. We all react to stress differently. Yes, I said stress. Fasting is a stressor to the body - especially the female body. Like money worries, relationship drama, and exercise, fasting will cause the body various levels of stress which can, and often will, result in negative consequences regarding our health. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing most of you have jobs and financial responsibilities, relationships, some of you have children or are care takers of family members. You probably rarely get eight hours of sleep and, let's face it, who has time to meditate daily when living in the real world? All of these things are life's stressors. Now, add lack of sleep, job and family/relationship stress to a boiling pot of intense daily e...

Finally - Progress Pics

Recently I've been struggling with my motivation. I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere. My workouts stalled (poor diet, lack of discipline and no sleep). Then, today, I hopped on the scale to a solid 116.0 lbs (was literally 117.8 yesterday at the same time). I think the two pints of Guinness I had to celebrate St. Patty's with my girlfriend and the bar appetizers I shouldn't have eaten may have given me the "Whoosh" that Martin Berkhan speaks of. "By the way, a nice bonus after a night of drinking is that it effectively rids you of water retention. You may experience the "whoosh" effect, which I've talked about in my two-part series about water retention. That in itself can be motivating for folks who've been experiencing a plateau in their weight loss." In any event, I'm pleased at my results so far and look forward to seeing how I will look in another two months - just in time for Memorial Day at the Jersey Shore. Here the...

Saying Bye Bye to my Fat Clothes...

Here is just a sampling of what I am sure will be a towering pile of fat clothes I will never again need in my life. Pictured here: 2 pair of jeans 1 pair cropped khakis 2 pair khaki sorts 1 pair camo cargo shorts 1 T-shirt 1 Columbia undershirt 1 pair gray slacks If you want to know why they're in the donation pile, check out the photos below. I've never been so happy to do spring cleaning. Only problem is I'm pretty thin on clothes that fit and I don't want to buy much yet as I'm nowhere near as lean as I'm hoping to get...ah, the trials and tribulations of Leangains . Damn you, Martin! :) ...
