Fitsploration: Never Stop Exploring: "Foods That Make You Do Bad Things"
“First Bite Warning: Foods That Make You Do Bad Things”
It’s a common slipup: After weeks of eating well, hitting the gym, and skipping dessert, you’re on track to lose those five pounds. You deserve a reward, some candy, a (non-diet) soda, or a side of fries. But hours…
So this has inspired my plan of attack for today! I’m going to go and have breakfast. Fold some washing while it settles then go in my car and head down to the gym. Livefit it up before heading home. Then lunch, some ironing and then my run. General tidying up and I might throw some stuff on ebay. Sounds like an excellent day to me!
YUM! This is my french toast recipe. I haven’t made this in a while. It’s a filling meal so I personally would suggest having one slice verses two.
Theresa, our athlete client’s SPROUTED GRAIN FRENCH TOAST RECIPE:
Depending on your hunger level you can tweak this recipe as needed.
Ingredient:
- 2 slices of sprouted grain bread
- cinnamon to your liking
- 5 egg whites
- unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
- sugar-free syrup (during on-season) or pure maple syrup
- fruit of your choice (I usually use bananas, strawberries, or blueberries)
- Stevia (optional - I don’t use this but you might want to to make your french toast sweeter)
Method:
- defrost your bread the night before
- add egg whites to a flat bowl or rounded plate (add cinnamon and/or cocoa power to this mix or add it on your toast once it’s cooking)
- dip one side of bread in your mixture (use hands), coat it, flip it, repeat
- place in frying pan, cook until your liking (both sides)
- repeat with other slice
- when finished place both slices on plate and add your fruit, syrup, and/or 1 TBSP of Peanut Butter

10 Healthy Sweet Potato Recipes!
For a humble root vegetable, the sweet potato sure does have a lot going for it. The orange tuber packs 438% of your daily value of infection-fighting vitamin A and, like carrots, sweet potatoes are a major source of skin-protecting beta-carotene. While bananas are often touted as the go-to source of potassium, a medium sweet potato has 28% more potassium than a banana. (The mineral helps your body absorb fluids to replace sweat losses.)
Whether sweet potatoes only enter your kitchen on Thanksgiving or they have a regular spot in your cooking rotation, you could probably use more delicious ways to prepare them. Here are 10 recipes for dishes from fries to soup—each with about 300 calories or less.

RONDO’S CAREER HIGH
Rajon Rondo played every second for the Boston Celtics. Made just about every play. Made just about every shot, too.
His final numbers: a career-high 44 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds.
“There’s no turning back. It’s the conference finals,” Rondo said. “I wanted to play every minute. I thought I didn’t hurt my team by me playing every minute. I wanted to go out there and continue to do my best for my team.”
That he did, shooting 16 of 24 from the floor, 10 of 12 from the foul line and making both his 3-point tries. Boston scored 12 points in overtime and Rondo had every one, giving his team the lead on three possessions before the Heat found a way to finally escape.
Showing him some love…determination/hard work might not always yield the results you want, but it’s during these times you develop your character to overcome adversity.
