Healthy Barbeque Sauce? (my vice)

Hey guys! Sorry if your busy working, but I just HAD to get this to ya!

Here’s why:

When your trying to be “good” (effective) with consuming enough healthy, muscle-building proteins, the biggest challenge is “taste” (remember, you have extra stored energy – aka FAT – in your adipose tissue, NOT because you’re “too busy” to workout, but simply because your food tastes better, than working out “feels.”)

Oooh… did you hear what I just said? Damn, that sounded smart!

That’s worth revisiting.

I repeat:

We have extra body fat because (usually) OUR FOOD TASTES BETTER THAN WORKING OUT FEELS!

And food-makers know EXACTLY how to make your food tasty; just add FAT, SALT, and SUGAR…and the better it tastes…the more you eat….the more money the food-makers get…and the fatter you become.

Period.

The trick then, of course, is to get your food to taste good WITHOUT all the fat, salt and sugar!

Now, when I make “healthy chicken breast”… I’m so so so darn tempted to put  tons of seasoning on it, that I secretly throw a fit (mostly internally, while in the kitchen) because my healthy chicken won’t be quite like the chicken at a fast food joint.

And barbecue sauce is my personal downfall.

Ill put it on everything. Baked potatoe. Steak. Chicken. Heck, id even put it on bread if I had no discipline. In fact, .years ago…I got a postcard in the mail offering a BBQ sauce of the month club. And I almost joined, lol! (Yep, like how did I get on THAT mailing list, right?)

Well gang I just found this BBQ sauce in the healthy section at Shop Rite in Northvale, NJ (the “sugar free” isle to be exact) and its much healthier by salt and sugar standards than what’s typical….and YES, it does taste pretty good, too! Give it a shot!

MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR SALAD! (and I hate salads!)

Hey guys! Normally I don’t eat salads…but I’m out to lunch, stuffing my face with the areas BEST ITALIAN FOOD — LILO BISTRO!!! — in Tappan, NY! (I even posted the location in this blog entry so u know the address, and Ricky P, the owner, even has high speed Wi-Fi,  though I can’t write too much because I’m sorta ignoring Blayne right now…but she loved her salad so much, forced me to try it…AND ITS AWESOME AND HEALTHY TOO!

In fact, Ricky, the owner is working on an off-menu SUPER HEALTHY CHOPPED SALAD that will knock your socks off!

Lilo bistro has the best casual yet elegant atmosphere, and if you like salads — you will be IMPRESSED!

The salad featured is almost-eaten, and is called “THE APPLE SALAD” (delicious apples, walnuts, and pine nuts over mixed greens) … And Blayne was like “Babe, can I eat the rest now and can you put away your phone now Scott?” (Yep, I’m always in trouble, lol)

Best, and bon apatee or whatever ;)

ANNOUNCING: PALANGI DIET HOMEMADE CHILLI!

Hey guys… so get this:

One of my secrets to getting people really really lean, and really really TONED UP, is by following a simple, healthy food plan that I call 40-40-20 (meaning 40% of your calories come from PROTEIN….. the other 40% from CLEAN, LOW-GLYCEMIC, NON-WHEAT, STARCH-FREE, COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES…..and the other 20% comes from HEALTHY FATS (essential fatty acids type fats, ones that the body cannot readily absorb from regular “foods”.

Well get this:

Did you know that even most canned chili found on the shelves in stores, is ACTUALLY better for fat-burning than most foods considered “healthy’?

Yeah, because chili, by and large, has massive amounts of protein from all the MEAT plus all the KIDNEY BEANS…. and the carbs, which come from 4 of the LOWEST GLYCEMIC SOURCES ANYWHERE (from the tomatoes, the green and red peppers, and onion…. (not to mention generous amounts of fiber from all those “good carbs” as well…. and finally the fats come from OLIVE OIL (very high in Omega fats; which support the body in burning as much fat as possible.

Well, one of our members, Julie Scaduto, who is not only an awesome and dedicated Palangi Kickboxer…. AND a 2-time Graduate of our 4 Week Body Transformation Challenge… but she also happens to be a TOP NOTCH CHEF….. WHO IS ARMED WITH THE TOOLS OF THE PALANGI DIET!

Long story short, Julie came in one morning and dropped off some “samples” of her 40-40-20 Palangi-Style Chili… and I LOVED IT!

Later, Julie ran the recipe by me (along with the breakdown of all the NUMBERS,) ya know, for the PSOA (Palangi Seal of Approval)…. and….  I must say… not only was my tummy TOTALLY FULL from eating all the clean burning, low-sodium, and HIGH-PROTEIN/LOW-GLYCEMIC FOODS that comprise what I’m calling “Palangi Chili”…. BUT THIS STUFF TASTED SO GOOD, I BEGGED HER TO TEACH ME HOW TO COOK IT!

And Julie let us Video Tape the whole production too!

In Video #1, Julie takes us on a “get this” list (food, cooking utensils, as well as a lil’ prep-work too)

In Video #2, she whips it all together; you get to learn EXACTLY how it all works, and EXACTLY what makes it taste so friggin’ good too; it all cooks down after 2 hours.

In Video #3, Julie adds the Dark Red Kidney Beans (tons of good protein and dietary fiber!), and then we have a taste test!

And…. the best-est part is…. I went home immediately afterward (while the experience was fresh in mind) and duplicated PERFECTLY!

Julie is a talented Chef, as well as a patient and committed food-coach, and we are so fortunate to have such high-quality human beings in our program!

Please enjoy the videos, and submit any questions you have about this 40-40-20 recipe below!

Committed to your success,

Master Scott Palangi

PS: By the way, after seeing how fat my face was in these videos… to jump start my lean-ness, I cooked exactly how much you see here…. following ingredients to a “t”… and this, plus my 2-a-day protein shake is all I’ve had… and I can already see fat melt off my face, and my arms (that’s the place my fat goes and leaves first, so I know this stuff is uber-fat-burning-friendly!)
