Muscle Rush Recipes
That Make Dieting Fun!
Muscle Rush Recipe #1: Cinnamon Kick!
I tried a lot of fun eating stuff. It can be something as simple as sprinkling cinnamon in to my Muscle Provider shakes, to add some zest to them. This subtle change really beefs up a vanilla shake when you need something different.

Muscle Rush Recipe #2: Bench Espresso!
The second of my three Muscle Rushes involves blending two scoops Muscle Provider, one or two shots of espresso and about eight ounces of water. This definitely will get you out the door and into the gym in the morning.

Muscle Rush Recipe #3: Do the Bev!
Another Muscle Rush is two scoops Muscle Provider and twelve ounces of Diet Mountain Dew. Don’t shake your head. Try it — you’ll be surprised how good it is.
Ultra Brownie!
My favorite snack has become an Ultra Size brownie. I love to mix Ultra Size with cinnamon and water, heat in the microwave and voila… instant dessert! For a real treat I put a tablespoon of Fat Free Cool Whip on top – YUM!

Ultra Pancakes!
One of my morning staples is a plate of Ultra Size protein pancakes. I mix one or two scoops of Ultra Size with onethird cup of reduced calorie Bisquick, one-half cup egg substitute, and add water. Once cooked, add a half-cup of sugar-free syrup and you have pancakes as good as Mom made.

Ultra Coffee Cake!
How about Ultra coffee cake? I mix two scoops Ultra Size, one cup coffee (the darker the better) and microwave until you get a cake consistency. Of course, I then top it off with cinnamon.

Apple Pie a la Muscle!
Perhaps my most creative concoction was this Beverly apple pie. I mix one scoop of Ultra Size, one-half of a crushed apple, one serving oatmeal, six ounces of water and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Microwave it until it is warm and gooey apple cobbler and top with Fat-Free Cool Whip. Don’t let people know it is healthy — they hate you for being able to look that good while still being able to eat desserts.

TIPS TO GETTING THE FAT OFF!

1: No fast food. To combat the urges, I eat every 2-3 hours.

2: Eat the majority of meals at home. When I stopped eating out, I started losing fat.

3: Eat more vegetables. If I get hungry between meals, I either grab a plate of raw veggies with fat-free dressing or have a protein shake if I need the protein or want a special treat.

4: Cook fat-free (cooking sprays or fat-free spray butter).

5: Reduced calorie condiments. My new favorite is Smart Squeeze 'butter'. It has all of the taste of butter, with only five calories per serving. Also, the new syrup made with Splenda is excellent on sweet potatoes.

6: Drink loads of water and stick to diet drinks (Diet Coke is my favorite). No fruit juices, only real fruit. The exception is protein shakes.
