HEALTHY BBQ PART 2 - FUNK'S FAT BURNING SEASONING FOR MEATS

FUNK’S FAT BURNING BBQ SEASONING FOR MEATS


I know in Part 1 of the Benefits of BBQ Special I said that I would not give you the recipe, but I will give you my secret fat burning BBQ seasoning for chicken (which really is just the recipe) that I have adjusted, thanks to Dave Ruel & Karine Losier’s Metabolic Cookbook at the bottom of the post, but watch the video first.

Adding these seasonings to your chicken or any meat will literally take you no more than 20 seconds, but the effect it’ll have on your rate of fat loss (compared to not using them at all) will be profound. Fat loss really does not get much easier than this!









THERMO-CHARGED SEASONINGS BY DAVE RUEL


There are always going to be those days when you're simply in a huge rush and don't have time to cook. You had planned to prepare your healthy meal but something came up and now you're left stranded.

That's where these seasonings come into play. A couple times a week, cook multiple pieces of plain chicken, fish, and red meat, and keep them stored in your refrigerator so that you can really just ‘grab and go’.

In the Metabolic Cookbook we've created some 'Thermo-Charged Seasonings' that will spice up any of those bland pre-cooked chicken breast (or whatever protein source you're using) into a taste sensation.

Not only will this quick meal-on-the-go taste good, it'll still have the same metabolic enhancing powers as all of the other recipes in our book.

Adding these seasonings to your protein will literally take you no more than 20 seconds, but the effect it’ll have on your rate of fat loss (compared to not using them at all) will be profound. Fat loss really does not get much easier than this!



FAT BURNING SEASONINGS

This is the secret 5 herbs and spices when combined make for the ultimate fat burning seasoning. You must put them all together in order for them to be effective. Not only do they have health benefits but they have flavour benefits as well and will help keep you on your nutrition and diet plan

DIET AND NUTRITION - HEALTHY BBQ TIPS - PART 1 (VIDEO)

FUNK'S FAT BURNING BBQ CHICKEN - VIDEO

This has been the summer of the BBQ for Funk. At least 5 days a week I am grilling up some sort of lean meat. I put together a two-part BBQ video series to start of my Summer of Nutrition.


This video is of my yummy fat burning BBQ chicken breast with a fantastic seasoning recipe I got from the Metabolic Cooking Program that Angela and I picked up a few months back. (you need to get yourself a copy)

Below is a great article from Dave Ruel, creator of the Metabolic and Anabolic Cooking, which talks about the Top Tips and Benefits to Cooking on the Grill.

It even includes specific times for foods like:

- Steak (Bone in or no bone)

- Chicken

- Buffalo Burgers

- Assortment of veggies

The real trick is the timing and he has got you covered.

 




TOP TIPS AND BENEFITS TO COOKING ON THE GRILL - BY DAVE RUEL




Top Tips And Benefits Of Cooking On The Grill

With summer in full swing, one cooking method that you must make sure you’re making good use of is grilling. Grilling is one of the top health promoting ways to prepare your meals and even better, it offers plenty of flavour.

My favourite part of summer grilling? The gathering’s it brings and the fun that follows

When you cook on the grill you’ll help to reduce the total fat content in any meat that you prepare as the fat will drip right off and since you aren’t using any butter or other added fats in the cooking process, you’ll get a low calorie dish that’s high on nutrition but low on calories.

Cooking on the grill using propane or charcoal tends to bring out the flavour in foods to a larger extent, so you won’t need to add a lot of high calorie sauces or condiments either. Simply using some herbs or marinades will easily enhance the taste without destroying the nutritional value of the meal.

Let’s give you a brief run-down on how to make use of this terrific cooking technique.


What To Cook

Funk's Lamb Chops and Spinach Salad
 There are many different options as to what you can prepare up using your grill. Vegetables are a classic favourite as they’ll come out juicy and crisp, really awakening your taste buds and allowing you to see just how satisfying eating healthy can be.

There are many different protein options for cooking on the grill as well including steaks, venison, buffalo burgers or lean ground beef burgers, fish, shrimp, and chicken. Each of these will be a high quality source of protein that’s already naturally lower in fat.

Pretty much all meats mentioned in Anabolic Cooking can be modified to be cooked on the grill. In fact some of the recipes will taste even better if you can get access to a BBQ.

Sweet potatoes work great on the grill for your primary carbohydrate source and corn on the cob is another option to consider for a sweet, nutrient packed form of energy.

For the creative individuals out there, fruit can also be grilled and will make for a very healthy dessert to top off your meal.





Getting Ready To Cook

To get ready to begin cooking, you’ll want to marinate any meat or vegetables you plan to cook by placing them on a plate or zipped bag with the marinade and allowing to sit in the fridge for a couple hours or overnight.

If you are just going to use herbs with your meat or vegetables then you should press the herbs into the flesh of the meat and then place it directly onto the grill. You would be amazed at just how much taste can result from a few simple herbs. For vegetables, brush a very light coating of olive oil onto the skin or spray with Pam and then sprinkle the herbs on top of that to give them something to ‘stick’ to.

Some great herbs that you’ll want to consider trying as you perform your grilling include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and tarragon. Get creative and try various combinations of your favourite herbs.


Cooking To Perfection

Once you have the food prepared, then it’s time to get grilling. One great way to cook your vegetables is placing them in some foil and then wrapping and setting it on the grill. This will lock the heat in and produce vegetables that are tender and juicy. If you prefer vegetables on the crispier side, get some skewers and stab them before placing on the grill, making sure to turn occasionally so all sides get cooked.

Cooking temperatures for your protein source placed on the grill will be as follows. Remember that these are approximate cooking times and will vary so keep a close eye on your food as it cooks.

» Boneless steak – 8-14 minutes for medium rare

» Bone-in steak – 7-14 minutes for medium rare

» Chicken breasts – 8-12 minutes, turning at halftime

» Fish filets – 4-6 minutes or until fish easily flakes with a fork

» Ground beef or buffalo burgers – 10-16 minutes, flipping at half-time

» Shrimp – 5-7 minutes

» Pork tenderloin – 12-18 minutes, turning two to three times throughout the cooking process

Note that most vegetables will cook on the grill in about 5-6 minutes with the exception of squash, zucchini, eggplant, asparagus, and potatoes, which you’ll want to leave on for 10-15 minutes.

Be sure to check your vegetables as cooking progresses to ensure they reach your preferred state of crispiness.

So there you have the grilling details that you need to note to make sure you enjoy plenty of home-grilled meals this summer. Getting away from the usual cooking methods you typically use during the cooler months is a perfect way to shake up your diet so you can stick to it with ease.

METABOLIC FAT BURNING RECIPE - CHICKEN WITH MOROCCAN SEASONING AND QUINOA

METABOLIC FAT BURNING RECIPE - CHICKEN WITH MOROCCAN SEASONING AND QUINOA

Here's something Angela and I made right out of Dave and Karine's "Metabolic Cookbook" -- their super popular new fat burning cookbook.

The Chicken with Moroccan Seasoning and Quinoa took us under 30 minutes to prepare and cook, and took me 2 minutes to eat. It is so good and tasty.

Since we have started with cooking from this book, we can definitely see and feel the difference in our bodies. I am down about 1% body fat in one week. I’m looking more ripped as well.

The Guide is defined as the following:

Metabolic Thermo-Charge (of food)

It stands for how many calories your body is going to burn just breaking down the nutrients each time you consume a certain food. For example protein tends to have a high Metabolic Thermo-Charge. For this reason, by having high-quality protein in your diet, you'll naturally burn off more calories and move closer to your goal weight.



You should know Dave & Karine's Metabolic Cooking Recipe Guide hit some sort of sales record so to celebrate the success of their launch sale, and by popular request, they are extending their 1/2 Price Invitation Only Discount until 11:59 April 10th

A MUST TRY FAT BURNING METABOLIC RECIPE


(See Funk and Angela’s Thai Chicken Basil Stir Fry Video below)

METABOLIC COOKING REVIEW

Want to hear the coolest metabolism secret yet?

Certain foods have hidden metabolic superpowers that can make your body burn even more unsightly body fat in far less time than “dieting” alone.

For most of these foods, the “superpowers” are essentially their high thermogenic effect.

My friends Dave Ruel and Karine Losier call it their "Metabolic Thermo-Charge".

It basically stands for how many calories your body burns just breaking down the nutrients each time you consume a certain food.

Dave and Karine are masters in the kitchen, and they know how to cook delicious (or Metabolicious, as they love to say) recipes that have been specifically organized around high "Metabolic Thermo-Charged" foods.

Their "Metabolicious" recipes ensure that you’ll never get bored or be tempted to ditch your diet, and you’ll get the fat loss results you deserve FASTER!

You’ve really have to check it out their Metabolic Cooking Package.

Angela and I picked it up as soon as it launched (you get 52% off all week) and have been cooking up the fat-annihilating recipes.

The bulk of Metabolic Cooking is its vast amounts of nutritious and tasty recipes. The program contains the following recipe books, each with 20-40 recipes:

• Breakfast
• Chicken and Poultry
• Fish and Seafood
• Pork
• Red Meat
• Sides
• Smoothies
• Snacks
• Vegetarian

In total there are over 200 fat burning recipes each complete with a nutrition profile and directions on how to make. See the screenshot below showing one of the recipes found in the chicken and poultry recipe book.

You can see it is designated with PFC (Protein, Fat, Carbs), so it is easy to pick the meals you need to eat during the day. Just match the meals the meal plan that is discussed in the nutrition guide.
