Fat Burning Detox

It’s that time of year, the holidays. This time of the year I find myself eating everything and anything because all of the holiday food is so good. I usually try to find a fat burning detox that will help with all of the bad food i’m eating to balance it out. Right now I’m doing has apple cider vinegar, apples, cinnamon, and lemon juice. You mix together the apple cider vinegar, the cinnamon, and the lemon juice and then add the apples in and it’s ready to go. Apple cider vinegar is actually really good for you and has so many benefits. I always try out new detoxes and this one is actually pretty good. If you’re looking for something to try I definitely recommend this one!

Sushi

Sushi is one of my favorite meals and is pretty good for you. I actually don’t go a week without having it. I wish I could make it as good as I can get it from the place I sisal go to but I’m working on it. This video will help you learn how to make it. It is a little long but sushi isn’t exactly an easy process but it is definitely something cool to try if you have the time. 

Green Tea Kick

So I know my post earlier this year about pumpkin coffee really preached the intake and necessity of coffee. As of recent though, I’m trying to cut down my intake of coffee because I was drinking two to three cups a day. I bought green tea K-cups and started a green tea kick. Green tea is actually really good for you and is a good detox to clean out the toxins in your system. It also burns fat and some people even recommend several cups a day. Now I still have my one cup of coffee in the morning usually, but I’ve been really focused on drinking green tea because it is so good for you. I recommend this to people who are trying to cut back on coffee but also if you’re looking for a drink that is good for you and beneficial to your body and health that still contains caffeine.

Stir Fry

Stir Fry is easy to make whether you want to eat it for your dinner or have it as a side or save it for later and have it as leftovers. It can be made a bunch of different ways and you can basically add whatever you want to it. For my stir fry I added broccoli, peppers, onions, garlic, water chestnuts, and chicken. For the sauce I added Tsang Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce and I put it in the vegetables and chicken and also added a little to the rice so it had flavor too. I used the same rice that I used for my chicken dinner post. I chose to have it for dinner along with my favorite fall drink, apple cider. The great thing about stir fry is that it is inexpensive to buy the ingredients for, it takes about 20 minutes to cook and 10 minutes to cut everything up and depending on what you add to it and how much sauce you put in, it can actually be a pretty healthy meal. The best dinner options are ones that are cheap easy and good for you. Stir fry is a great meal to make if you’re looking for those options and want to be able to eat a dinner where everything is combined and eaten together.

Chicken Dinner

Tonight I decided to eat healthy by making chicken served over brown rice with vegetables. As much as I love to eat everything that is bad for me, it’s nice to switch it up and have some healthy meals. I was looking through Pinterest at healthy dinner meals and stumbled upon a ton of great things to make. Tonight I started off by marinating the chicken in lemon juice and basil for an hour. I cut up carrots, green beans, and broccoli to throw in the mix. I bought brown rice and made 2 cups of it, which was way to much for three people. I sautéed the chicken and then added the vegetables while cooking the rice. I also chopped up some lettuce and cut up extra carrots, celery and tomatoes for a salad.

Overall it took me about 20 minutes to actually cook all of it and the ingredients together was under 20 dollars. These meals are the best kinds to make as a college student because they’re really good for you and very cost effective. Had I not been feeding three people it would have been around 10 dollars but because it ended up being more than just myself it came to around 16 dollars. I would definitely recommend a meal like this at least once or twice a week as a college student to make sure your diet stays balanced.
