Melty Cheese Omelette



Today we are going to show you how to make my personal favorite omelet blend. Eggs are awesome you can make so many various dishes with them on top of that, eggs are quick.

Ingredients:



(Option to add I go back and forth with this one)


For those seeking to understand what a dash, pinch and smidgen means in measurement form:

Cracking Some Eggs:

Take out a small bowl crack three eggs into the bowl. Feel free to remove the egg yolks if you would like to cut down on the fat, but I recommend leaving at least one yolk.


Now We Add the Seasonings:

Time to add the cheyenne pepper, paprika, turmeric, garlic and sweet basil to the eggs in the bowl. Once you are done grab a fork. You are going to take the fork and whisk the eggs, in turn blending the seasoning.

It’s Dicing Time:

Dice the cherry tomatoes up. You slice the onion up to be about the same amount as the cherry tomatoes. I like to do this while I’m cooking the eggs to save on time.

Set Up The Frying Pan:

Take out your Red Copper Pan or any frying pan you choose to use, nonstick is preferred. Spray cooking spray on the pan. You want to keep the flame on medium low. At this point you will add the beaten eggs.

Tomatoes and Onions:

As the eggs start to solidify this is the time you are going to add the tomatoes and onions to one side of the pan. Give it about another minute.

Cheese and Flip:

Lay the slices of cheese evenly across the tomatoes and onion side. Before the flip, you will need to loosen all the edges of the eggs on the pan. Once you have accomplished that you are ready to flip it. Take the side that doesn’t have the cheese slowly raise it up with a spatula. (I personally prefer thicker spatulas for this.  Once the egg half it’s up on the spatula you will quickly flip that side on top of the cheese side. Now that it is flipped and looking like an omelet use the spatula to loosen up under the omelet, cover and let it cook for another minute or two so the cheese can melt.

Final Touch:

The omelet is cooked now you might not get the flip part right the first few times, but it will always have the same great taste. The finally sprinkle some black pepper lightly across the top, Enjoy.


How Creatine Monohydrate Can Increase Muscle Mass, Boost Memory and More!



Creatine Monohydrate 

I am not a personal trainer that believes in pushing supplements onto my clients. In fact, I tell clients you really don’t need any supplements. Very few supplements have the scientific backed benefits that creatine monohydrate has.

What is Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine monohydrate is a substance found in your muscle cells that helps the muscles to produce energy, while doing high intensity based physical activities such as weightlifting. To put it simple it gives your body extra energy, when it comes time to use your muscles.

Creatine can help to improve health and athletic performance by boosting the amount of phosphocreatine stored in the muscle. Additional stored phosphocreatine can then produce more ATP which is the key energy source for intense exercised and weightlifting

ATP is the body’s energy currency, when you have more ATP the body can perform better during exercise (1).

The Benefits

  •       Increased energy means you can increase the volume of your workouts. In turn boosting your muscle growth
  •      According to this study, it can increase satellite cell signaling. Which can help aid in muscle recovery and new muscle growth (2)
  •      Studies have shown a rise in anabolic hormones, such as IGF-1 after taking creatine (3) (4) (5)
  •       It may reduce muscle breakdown, in turn you may keep more your total muscle mass (more research is needed, attached is the study.) (6)
  •      Studies are showing creatine can lower myostatin levels. Elevated levels of myostatin can slow or totally inhibit muscle growth. Lowing these levels can increase muscle growth potential. (7)
  •      Taking a step away from exercise. Creatine as been shown to increase phosphocreatine in the brain which has been shown, to improve brain health and prevent neurological disease (8) (9) (10) (11)
  •      Vegetarians diets often don’t get close to enough creatine since they avoid eating meat, this should help muscle growth and brain health dramatically in vegetarians.

Increased Cell Hydration

I wanted to make a special section for this. Creatine increases the water content within your muscles which causes a cell volumization effect that may play a role increasing muscle size. This however will be in the form of water retention, not actual muscle growth.

This is my personal experience with creatine. When you first start to use creatine for a  first few weeks, until your reached full absorption creatine can slightly dehydrate you. When are you are slightly dehydrated you more susceptible to cramping. I urge you if you are using creatine for the first time to drink extra water and don’t us it right before a workout instead do it after working out.

Different Types of Creatines Other Than Monohydrate

The Creatine I Personally Use
The most well researched creatine remains to be monohydrate. Supplement companies are constantly making various versions with promises to be the next best type of creatine while jacking up the price tag on it. The research always proves false on these hyped creatines.

Don’t get scammed by supplement companies falsely claimed overpriced creatines. Creatine monohydrate is the best creatine and has remained so for years with science backed studies. Best of all it is cheap.

Final Notes

Creatine is one of the cheapest most scientifically backed supplements you can take. It supports quality of lift in older adults, brain health and exercise performance.  Creatine monohydrate is still the best version.
