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)
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!)
Now, I know that most “before and after” pictures show DRAMATIC changes, but what I like about this set of pictures is that is so realistic! Check it out….and if you can see yourself somewhere in all of this as a “possibility”, I urge you to click here and register for my three lesson trial program! (By the way Kaylan trains three times a week with us, and is establishing her career while staying in GREAT SHAPE, and I am so so so proud of her!)
