Evolution Two – week Four

Hello Folks,
This morning I made my own muesli. Apparently, it is also a very good source of protein etc...probably because it is made of oats, flakes, nuts and dried fruit. I figured I could save myself a little money making my own batch; besides muesli is expensive otherwise. So I picked up a lot of different ingredients to give it a try. Here is my recipe...
Soy flakes
Whole Oats
Rye Flakes
Spelt Flakes
Raisins
Cashews
Currants
Dates
Almonds
I mixed it all up and made a 5 gallon tub of muesli for about 20 dollars. One of the reasons I am making my own muesli is because studies have shown that when you eat breakfast with a low Glycemic Index the body can break down fat faster than a high Glycemic Index meal. Muesli with milk, fruit and apple juice is considered a low GI breakfast. A high GI breakfast might include sugary cereal, white toast; including cornflakes and milk, white bread and jam and a fizzy, sugary drink.
A scientist from the University of Nottingham, Dr Stevenson, did a study of this phenomenon and revealed, “We concluded that consuming a low GI breakfast increases fat oxidation both at rest and during subsequent exercise. A low GI breakfast also had an impact on appetite, with test subjects feeling fuller for longer after they’d eaten these types of foods.” (ANI)
Exercise: Continuous Training, Interval (45 min. running)
Menu: Veggies and Protein and Muesli (smile)
Until next time…
