Healthy Man Food: Paleo Chicken Fried Rice

By Ruben Rojas on 9:18 AM

comments (0)

Filed Under: , , , , , ,


So how do you make this delicious and simple dish?

What you will need:
-Chicken Breast and/or thighs (I used both)
-2 eggs
-Green Onions
-Garlic
-Green, Yellow, Red, Orange Bell Peppers ( I love bell peppers)
-Red & Green Cabbage
-1 head of cauliflower
-Sesame oil
-Wheat Free Soy Sauce

BY THE WAY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO RICE!


** You can always substitute other veggies & ingredients: Shrimp, Scallops, Pork, Carrots, Snow Peas, chestnuts, bok choy, broccoli, etc... you get it... Just have fun!

How to prep:

-Chop up all of the veggies into tiny pieces
-Cut up the meat into small cubes
-Use a cheese grater to grate the Cauliflower
-beat eggs and leave to the side

How to cook:

-add sesame or coconut oil to Large pan or wok
-add the green onions and let them sweat
-add chopped chicken until almost cooked
-add all the chopped veggies (Do not over cook the veggies)
-For the final 3 minutes or so add beated eggs, Rice Vinegar, Soy Sauce, Crushed Red Peppers & stir
-Immediately follow with the grated cauliflower and cook for an additional 3 min tops. Do not over cook the cauliflower or it will get too soft (Cauliflower is the substitute or the rice and when grated and slightly cooked will have the same texture as rice)

How do you serve it?

-By itself or over a bed of greens

Is this Zone of Paleo?

-It def falls into both of the Zone & Paleo parameters.

ENJOY!!!

Seven Habits of Highly Effective Athletes

By Ruben Rojas on 10:45 AM

comments (0)

Filed Under: ,

  1. Revolve all other habits around your intended goals: Athletes that are highly effective revolve everything else they do around being a better athlete. An athlete’s diet is focused on what foods will be beneficial to their training and performance, they sleep the amount of hours required to recover properly, an elite athlete is always mindful of things such as alcohol consumption etc. Everything you do should be thought about from a perspective that takes into account the consequences of all actions. Before staying up late think about the effect it will have on training the next day, before eating a hamburger just consider if it is nourishing you or hindering performance.
    Just think of all your daily activities and analyze the consequences.
  2. Pour every ounce of effort into training: An athlete does not just work out, they don’t just go through the motions. Watching an athlete work out is something that can leave you shocked.
    An athlete puts everything he/she has into the task at hand.
  3. Educate yourself: Athletes that make it place a lot of faith in their coach. Great athletes have coaches that take them to ALL levels of success. However, highly efficient athletes don‘t just rely on their coach, if they did they could fail if the coaching relationship falls through. I have noticed that one of the seven habits of highly effective athletes is that of self education. You must take the time to learn and understand the science and specificity of what is being coach to fully understand and absorb the coaching.
  4. Keep records: All highly effective athletes keep records of relevant information this includes training performances, competitive performances, minute fluctuations in weight and strength, good days, bad days etc. By making this a habit you can notice positive and negative turning points and can make minute adjustments along the way.
  5. Focus on details: People who exercise just for fitness or just because their friend goes to the gym don’t care much for details. A 3 rep difference in their previous Fight Gone Bad score will not have meaning or effect if it goes unnoticed. An effective athlete pays attention to these things. Without reviewing the details an athlete will not make the miniscual improvements that make all of the difference.
  6. Restraint and discipline yourself beyond the average person’s capabilities: Most people make excuses and exceptions for breaking their own rules. An effective athlete sets boundaries that are absolutely non-negotiable. A little piece of chocolate cake when you are preparing for competition can mean a couple of hundredths of a second added to your Fran time.
  7. Notice the little things: Most people don’t notice the little things. Things that make people believe it’s always the big things that make the difference. However the difference that makes the difference is often an accumulation of tiny factors that lead to massive changes. Not noticing the little things is detrimental. We simply cannot pay attention to everything all at once. So what happens is often an athlete slides a little with a few seemingly insignificant things and their performance suffers. They then always look for the big thing that caused it. When they can’t find one they either give up or accept a slump in performance. Quite often this is the end of an athlete’s career. It isn’t for an effective athlete though.
    An effective athlete tends to notice the little things and their consequences.
Takes these 7 habits and use them to advance in all your fitness and athletic endeavors.
