A twist on Deviled eggs...

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate to attend the Whole 9 seminar. Melissa and Dallas were amazing! They explained how and why certain foods affect our body. They broke down the way our body digests foods and the optimal Pre and Post workout meals. I learned a large amount of fabulous information. If you have never heard of Whole 9, I highly suggest you visit their website ASAP! www.whole9life.com

I am currently participating in their Whole 30 program. For those of you who are not familiar with Whole 9, this is 30 days of eating fresh veggies, fruits, meats, nuts and seeds. This means absolutely NO SUGAR, no dairy, no legumes, and no processed foods. I am on Day 11 and going strong. I feel stronger than ever and I have a solid amount of energy through out the whole day. I sleep great at night and for the past 5 days, I have woken up before my alarm. Love it! You can tell that my body is totally digging me eating like this because I have no stomach discomfort at all. I am really excited to see the results at the end of 30 days. I will keep you posted.

In the mean time, I have found that planning my meals is critical! Most people fail to eat healthy because of lack of planning. Each week, I plan out my meals and go grocery shopping for the week. I have no excuses. By keeping my refrigerator and pantry stocked with healthy food choices, I am teaching myself to eat this way. Now it is a habit and permanent lifestyle change. However, it does take time. I didn’t stop just cold turkey. In January of 2010, I started to slowly cut out grains, dairy and legumes. Six months later, I am eating 100% primal/paleo/caveman/healthy…whatever you want to call it! Nutrition is something I am continuously working on. There is always going to be bad days and good days. As for now, I am making sure that the good days far out number the bad days.

Here is a recipe that I recently made for my family BBQ. It was amazing and these are great snacks to pop in your mouth when you are in a hurry. Enjoy:)
