Live, Love, Be Fit!

Periodically, I will be posting the results of my clients' hard work. These are not before and AFTERS they are before and "now". I do not believe in "after" pictures... It makes it seem like once you take the picture, the journey is over. The truth is, being active and eating right is a LIFESTYLE-- not something that you do just to take an "after" picture. I have a huge amount of respect for ALL of my clients. Each one of them has a great attitude and work ethic, which is evident in their progress pictures and strength gains.

The picture I have included is self explanatory. This client is not just changing the way he looks, he is changing his life and becoming healthier, stronger and and more determined by the day!

Great for hearth health, healthy gut flora, and a natural diuretic are just a few of the benefits of eating asparagus. It is an excellent source of Vitamin K, C, A and packs a healthy dose of fiber.

Now is the time to buy this plant of goodness as it is IN season. The price is right, and the preparation options are endless. Here are a few ideas:

1. Steam the asparagus, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top and add a sprinkle of both sea salt and pepper.

2.  Add cooked asparagus to an egg white omelet with a handful of low fat cheddar and your other favorite veggies!

3. Saute asparagus (in a bit of water or healthy oil) with mushrooms and chopped onion.

4. Add pre-cooked, chilled asparagus to your salad.

5. Add to your favorite stirfry (broccoli, green pepper, chicken, ....etc.)

 Eat in season. Save money and enjoy fresh/tasty produce. Be creative.
