24 hour fitness

Well guys, its day 1 of my 2100 calorie diet, and I can tell you it has not been easy haha! I have been craving bad carbs like mad since my diet is so strict. Fortunately today I read Mens Health (the mens fitness magazine) and it had some great muscle building meals which have good flavour but are also great for loosing fat. One meal which I think is great is their turkey chilli (recipe below). My diet consists of 5 meals a day, after 6.30 there are no carbohydrates in the diet which tempts you to bad carbs, but learn self-control and you will loose fat. I am about to have my last meal which consists of 2 haddock fillets with a small portion of broccoli, I ll keep you updated on how my diet is going.....

Finally, here is the recipe ... enjoy!

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 large orange, red, or yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey breast
• 1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (15 ounces) no-salt-added tomato sauce
• 1 can (15 ounces) red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 tablespoons chili powder to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
• 
  

This meal takes 1 hour 45 minutes to prepare but it serves 8 people meaning you can freeze it and you have 8 portions of muscle building foods!
