So is it just me, or is time seriously passing by. I've been receiving some emails lately about what to do at work functions, and with the party season beginning to fire up, I thought I would write here about eating out and having fun at the same time.
Most Australian's would agree that eating out is ranked as one of their favourite past times. Add after-work parties, lunch-time snacks, functions, birthdays and special occasions to the list and we probably eat out more than we realise. But does eating out mean that we sacrifice our healthy eating plan?
Just because we are away from home doesn't mean that we should give up on our weight.
Menu Options
Read and look at the menu carefully before making your choice. Take time to study which items may contain excess fat and calories.Try to select dishes with good nutritional value like fruits, vegetables, fish and low salt foods.
Try to choose the following cooking techniques.
- Baked
- Grilled
- Poached
- Steamed
- Roasted
- Sauteed or stir-fried with minimal oil.
|
 |
Always look for ingredients and descriptions that indicate that the food is low in fat.
|
|
Menu Size
Most menus now contain appetizers, side dishes, bread, desserts, main courses, salads and entrees—but just because they are listed doesn't mean that you have to order them.
Limit what you eat by bypassing one of the above. If you plan on having dessert, then skip the entrée and the side serving of bread. If you wish to have a meaty dish, then say goodbye to the entrée and afters.
Developing a healthy approach to eating out can take time, but keep following our steps to become healthy when eating out.

1 1/2 cups diced mango
1/3 cup diced red pepper
1/3 cup chopped scallions

|
|
Cooking
instructions:
For the mango-avocado relish:
1. Remove and discard the pit and skin from the avocados and rub the flesh of the avocado with some of the lime juice to prevent it from discoloring.
2. Chop the the flesh and toss it with the remaing lime juice, mango, red pepper and scallions. Store the relish in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
For the salmon:
3. Preheat the grill.
4. Brush the fillets with oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
5. Broil the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, turning only once. (Thin fillets take less time, thicker fillets take more.)
6. Placed the fillets on warmed plates, spoon the relish on top of the fish and serve.
Serving Size: 1 salmon fillet with relish
Quick easy and delicious to make. Wonderfully high in protein and all the good stuff. I hope you enjoy this months recipe and make it part of your nutrition plan this week.

Hey everyone.. this is a personal message from JERRY BRAAM our BFL champion 2001.
|
|
Every year, to help get a laser focus on my Body-for-LIFE, I’ve found it very motivating to create an incentive, schedule a prize…a reward to myself, to celebrate finishing my first 12 week Challenge of the year! Last year nearly 100 BFL Champions & Challengers from around the world did the same! What could be better than kicking off New Year 2006 with a 12-week BFL Challenge and then rewarding all your efforts with cruise to the Bahamas??? Try adding to that, the company of the most focused, positive and inspiring group of individuals you may ever meet…together with BFL director Porter Freeman, BFL manager Marc Bennett…& a continuously growing list of your favorite BFL Champions & Challengers from around-the-world? A Major… HighPoint!!!

After last year’s highly successful Caribbean cruise. We couldn't imagine not having another BFL World Event. Think how awesome it will be, to be part of a ship loaded with very positive, high-energy individuals celebrating our success together as a team! Cruising on Royal Caribbean’s Sovereign of the Seas to the sun-drenched Bahamas for 4 full days exploring her islands!
“I hope that ALL of you can be a part of the 2006 cruise. The last cruise was one of the top experiences of my entire life and I anticipate that the 2006 trip will be another. Being surrounded by so many members of the BFL family is truly amazing. There were about 25 official BFL Champions on 2005’s and once the word gets out… I’ll bet there will be at least as many next year.”
Marc Bennett/BFL judge
Looking forward to sea-ing you on our CFL Bahamas Adventure! (I have sailed Royal Caribbean‘s Sovereign of the Seas before. This is a FANTASTIC trip!)
Inspired- for -LIFE,
Jerry Braam

I'd like to just take a moment to show you all a wonderful new skin care range that my friend and fellow BFL'er Teal is involved in.
Miessence are the Worlds First Certified Organic Skin Care made to food standards.
All 100% Australian Made.
The skin care is the most amazing products you will ever place on your skin EVER. The results are immediate. Teal has given many facials to skin care and non users of any products and the skin is completely different after the facial. The healthy glow and our skin saying thank you for not using chemicals is unbeatable.
In - Liven is an Australian made 100% Certified Organic Probiotic
Teal has been a candida sufferer for many years and not found any answers with Organic Vitamins or eating fantastically well. Within one week of taking In- Liven she was feeling relaxed and settled from sore red eyes and beginning to take on new look in her skin. Energy levels are unstoppable too!
A friend of hers told of the chronic candida she was suffering. Unable to keep food down, unable to reduce the swollen stomach she had after eating, the vomiting almost daily and unable to really eat properly. Within a week she was amazed that she was feeling a new person with the symptoms mentioned drastically reducing, she commented it was the only thing had worked out of everything she had tried.
Too many stories to tell of the incredible results. Anyone wishing to speak With Teal to assist any conditions please feel free to call her personally on 02 4885 2490. Please visit her website www.organicscertified.com and view all their products and then contact her for assistance. She is happy to help anyone interested in any of these beautiful healing and environment protective foods

Good Health and to looking fabulous Inside and Out to all.

DESIRE will help you to reach those goals. |
