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!

Lift Like a Girl - You just might like it

After I sent Martin ( Leangains.com ) my chinup vids so he can post them, he asked me about my routine so he could offer some background to the videos. He felt it may help give some direction to other IFing women out there; and I hope it does. I think he's going to post this sometime soon as well, but I wanted to archive it on my own blog. I created this routine from bits and pieces found scattered like confetti across his blog. I know everyone is slightly different and has different goals, so this routine may not be for you. I also know that, after two months of this, I'm stronger than ever before, but will likely have to find a way to shake things up a bit to keep things moving...but I'm not sure how to proceed. In case you rush through the routine without reading the fine print, I generally rest from 3 to 5 minutes between every set. Since I'm only doing 2-3 types of exercises at 3-4 sets each, I'm in and out of the gym in under an hour. Oh, and I only workout 3 ...

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...

The F-Word

Fresh fruit will not make you fat. I don't know about you, but my favorite part of any food store is the produce department. I love the rainbow of colors, shapes and sizes on display. The playful misting of the lettuces, the exotic vegetables I've never heard of from parts of the world I've only read about. I can't imagine anyone getting fat by eating a variety of any combination of the foods you find here. So why do people think fruit will make them fat? It's the F-Word - Fructose Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide and one  of three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Unlike glucose which can be immediately available to the muscles, however, fructose must first be processed in the liver, giving it the lowest glycemic index of all sugars. Naturally, fructose is fou nd in fruit, many plants and some vegetables, but not in very high concentrations....
