Lose Fat By Eating Pizza and Burgers

One thing I like to do when people say they can't eat healthy food that actually tastes good, is well...prove them wrong.

I then start by asking them what they normally eat during the day.

Pizza and burgers seem to be some family favorites.

Then I show them how to make the same unhealthy foods healthy. Or if I am really in the mood I will cook it for them, which really wins them over.

So Thursday evening I made some awesome little mini pizzas for my wife and I. For you busy dads who has kids old enough to eat solid foods, these will be a hit in your house.

The best part is they only take about 10 minutes to make!

Just take whole wheat tortilla shell, spoon on some tomato sauce, add some cooked extra lean ground beef or chicken, add some veggies and a little low fat cheese and bake for 10 mins at 400F.




Then Friday I had a great workout consisting of:

Max Effort Upper Body

Barbell Floor Press, 1 max set of 3-5 reps
Decline DB Press, 4 sets of 6-10 reps
Chest Supported Barbell Row, 4 sets of 10-15 reps
Bent Over Lateral Raise, 3 sets of 12-15 reps
Cable Crunch, 3 sets of 8-12 reps

Friday was also my older sisters birthday so we had her over for a birthday BBQ and I made my famous Perfect Burgers.

So here is a simple recipe to avoid the artery clogging fast food burger and make your own Perfect Burger thats tastes great without the burger belly!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds extra-lean ground beef
Vegetable oil, for grates
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and lightly grilled or toasted
Lettuce, tomato, onion,or other toppings, as desired

Evenly divide meat into 4 portions. With a light touch, gently form each one into a ball, then shape into a 3/4-inch-thick patty. With thumb, make a 1/4-inch-deep indentation in the center of each (this prevents burgers from getting rounded tops during grilling). Transfer to a plate; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to 1 day.

Heat grill to high (it should be difficult to hold your hand above the grates). Moisten a folded paper towel with vegetable oil; grasp with tongs, and quickly wipe over the grates.

Generously season patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Place patties on grill; cover, and cook to desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve burgers on buns with desired toppings.

Staying fit with only 3 short workouts a week and eating pizza and burgers?

...and I did have a piece of birthday cake;-)
