HEALTHY BBQ PART 2 - FUNK'S FAT BURNING SEASONING FOR MEATS

FUNK’S FAT BURNING BBQ SEASONING FOR MEATS


I know in Part 1 of the Benefits of BBQ Special I said that I would not give you the recipe, but I will give you my secret fat burning BBQ seasoning for chicken (which really is just the recipe) that I have adjusted, thanks to Dave Ruel & Karine Losier’s Metabolic Cookbook at the bottom of the post, but watch the video first.

Adding these seasonings to your chicken or any meat will literally take you no more than 20 seconds, but the effect it’ll have on your rate of fat loss (compared to not using them at all) will be profound. Fat loss really does not get much easier than this!









THERMO-CHARGED SEASONINGS BY DAVE RUEL


There are always going to be those days when you're simply in a huge rush and don't have time to cook. You had planned to prepare your healthy meal but something came up and now you're left stranded.

That's where these seasonings come into play. A couple times a week, cook multiple pieces of plain chicken, fish, and red meat, and keep them stored in your refrigerator so that you can really just ‘grab and go’.

In the Metabolic Cookbook we've created some 'Thermo-Charged Seasonings' that will spice up any of those bland pre-cooked chicken breast (or whatever protein source you're using) into a taste sensation.

Not only will this quick meal-on-the-go taste good, it'll still have the same metabolic enhancing powers as all of the other recipes in our book.

Adding these seasonings to your protein will literally take you no more than 20 seconds, but the effect it’ll have on your rate of fat loss (compared to not using them at all) will be profound. Fat loss really does not get much easier than this!

FAT BURNING SEASONINGS

FUNK'S FAT BURNING BBQ CHICKEN - VIDEO

This has been the summer of the BBQ for Funk. At least 5 days a week I am grilling up some sort of lean meat. I put together a two-part BBQ video series to start of my Summer of Nutrition.


This video is of my yummy fat burning BBQ chicken breast with a fantastic seasoning recipe I got from the Metabolic Cooking Program that Angela and I picked up a few months back. (you need to get yourself a copy)

Below is a great article from Dave Ruel, creator of the Metabolic and Anabolic Cooking, which talks about the Top Tips and Benefits to Cooking on the Grill.

It even includes specific times for foods like:

- Steak (Bone in or no bone)

- Chicken

- Buffalo Burgers

- Assortment of veggies

The real trick is the timing and he has got you covered.

Top Tips And Benefits Of Cooking On The Grill

With summer in full swing, one cooking method that you must make sure you’re making good use of is grilling. Grilling is one of the top health promoting ways to prepare your meals and even better, it offers plenty of flavour.

My favourite part of summer grilling? The gathering’s it brings and the fun that follows

When you cook on the grill you’ll help to reduce the total fat content in any meat that you prepare as the fat will drip right off and since you aren’t using any butter or other added fats in the cooking process, you’ll get a low calorie dish that’s high on nutrition but low on calories.

Cooking on the grill using propane or charcoal tends to bring out the flavour in foods to a larger extent, so you won’t need to add a lot of high calorie sauces or condiments either. Simply using some herbs or marinades will easily enhance the taste without destroying the nutritional value of the meal.

Let’s give you a brief run-down on how to make use of this terrific cooking technique.


What To Cook


Funk's Lamb Chops and Spinach Salad

 There are many different options as to what you can prepare up using your grill. Vegetables are a classic favourite as they’ll come out juicy and crisp, really awakening your taste buds and allowing you to see just how satisfying eating healthy can be.

There are many different protein options for cooking on the grill as well including steaks, venison, buffalo burgers or lean ground beef burgers, fish, shrimp, and chicken. Each of these will be a high quality source of protein that’s already naturally lower in fat.

Pretty much all meats mentioned in Anabolic Cooking can be modified to be cooked on the grill. In fact some of the recipes will taste even better if you can get access to a BBQ.

Sweet potatoes work great on the grill for your primary carbohydrate source and corn on the cob is another option to consider for a sweet, nutrient packed form of energy.

For the creative individuals out there, fruit can also be grilled and will make for a very healthy dessert to top off your meal.

Getting Ready To Cook

To get ready to begin cooking, you’ll want to marinate any meat or vegetables you plan to cook by placing them on a plate or zipped bag with the marinade and allowing to sit in the fridge for a couple hours or overnight.

If you are just going to use herbs with your meat or vegetables then you should press the herbs into the flesh of the meat and then place it directly onto the grill. You would be amazed at just how much taste can result from a few simple herbs. For vegetables, brush a very light coating of olive oil onto the skin or spray with Pam and then sprinkle the herbs on top of that to give them something to ‘stick’ to.

Some great herbs that you’ll want to consider trying as you perform your grilling include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and tarragon. Get creative and try various combinations of your favourite herbs.


Cooking To Perfection

Once you have the food prepared, then it’s time to get grilling. One great way to cook your vegetables is placing them in some foil and then wrapping and setting it on the grill. This will lock the heat in and produce vegetables that are tender and juicy. If you prefer vegetables on the crispier side, get some skewers and stab them before placing on the grill, making sure to turn occasionally so all sides get cooked.

Cooking temperatures for your protein source placed on the grill will be as follows. Remember that these are approximate cooking times and will vary so keep a close eye on your food as it cooks.

» Boneless steak – 8-14 minutes for medium rare

» Bone-in steak – 7-14 minutes for medium rare

» Chicken breasts – 8-12 minutes, turning at halftime

» Fish filets – 4-6 minutes or until fish easily flakes with a fork

» Ground beef or buffalo burgers – 10-16 minutes, flipping at half-time

» Shrimp – 5-7 minutes

» Pork tenderloin – 12-18 minutes, turning two to three times throughout the cooking process

Note that most vegetables will cook on the grill in about 5-6 minutes with the exception of squash, zucchini, eggplant, asparagus, and potatoes, which you’ll want to leave on for 10-15 minutes.

Be sure to check your vegetables as cooking progresses to ensure they reach your preferred state of crispiness.

So there you have the grilling details that you need to note to make sure you enjoy plenty of home-grilled meals this summer. Getting away from the usual cooking methods you typically use during the cooler months is a perfect way to shake up your diet so you can stick to it with ease.

FUNK’S BURPEE 28’S FOR ULTIMATE CONDITIONING, STRENGTH AND FAT BURNING

FUNK BURPEE 28'S

I put together the Burpee 28 to really add a challenging element to an already effective exercise. The burpee is the ultimate full body exercise as it uses almost every muscle in your body to perform.


Burpees are a staple in my a lot of workouts and training programs, but I wanted to turn it up a notch, so I took the Burpee Pull-Up exercise and broke it down into four separate components (exercises) and created Funk’s Burpee 28’s. (It’s actually similar biceps 21 exercise if you are familiar with it)






BENEFITS OF BURPEE 28


The Funk Burpee 28 Workout is total body training because of the numerous joint actions involved in performing this effective exercise.

The first part of the exercise is the Lower Body Thrust to Push Ups (Frog Thrusts) which target the chest, shoulders, triceps, abs and core.

The second part of the exercise is the Jump Squat which hits the quads, hammies, glutes and burns the crap out of your legs.

The third part of the exercise is the Jump to Pull Up which continues to burn the legs but now work your back, shoulders and upper body strength

The fourth part of the exercise is the full Burpee-Pull Up which targets pretty much every muscle in your now fatigued body.

AWESOME!




DO BURPEES




HOW TO PERFORM FUNK’S BURPEE 28


This workout is broken into four parts where you will perform 7 reps of each exercise without rest until you complete all 28 reps, hence the Burpee 28’s. Rest for 2 minutes and perform 3-5 sets. NOTE: The rest is important as you want your body to come to full recovery, so you can perform the explosive exercises to capacity.

You can add this workout to your workout programs, MMA training or use it as a stand-alone strength, conditioning and fat burning workout. Try this 3x per week and watch your over-all fitness and body improve drastically.

Perform 7 reps of Lower Leg Thrusts (Frog Thrusts)

Perform 7 reps of Jump Squats

Perform 7 reps of Jump Pull Ups – Chin Ups

Perform 7 reps of Burpee Pull Ups

Rest for two minutes and complete 3-5 rounds



BENEFITS OF BURPEES

The burpee is the ultimate full body exercise. It works almost every muscle in your body in one short sequence of movements. We have all performed a burpee or two in our lifetime and like me, you probably hated doing them too. But the effectiveness of this workout is the reason why the military, martial artists, football and other sports teams, Cross Fitter’s, fitness enthusiasts and smart personal trainers use the burpee in their training programs.

The benefits of adding burpees to your workouts bode well for you and your overall fitness and look:

Improve your conditioning and endurance - burpees use so many muscles that, in very simple terms, your heart and lungs just can't keep up. A set of burpees will force your body to work far above your capacity to take in, transport and utilize oxygen and, subsequently, your anaerobic conditioning will improve.

Increase overall strength - with each repetition, you’ll work your chest, arms, front deltoids, thighs, hamstrings, and abs. and

Burn fat - the burpee is one of the best exercises to burn fat. Studies have shown that high intensity exercises, like burpees, burn up to 50% more fat than conventional strength training exercises. Get off those boring elliptical machines and start doing burpees.


I recommend that you add burpees to your workout regime and you will notice an increase in strength, your overall cardio and conditioning and you will burn fat like never before.

RAPID FIRE ABS
  CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHY YOU NEED TO ADD THE RAPID FIRE ABS SYSTEM TO YOUR MMA AND COMBAT TRAINING

Why do people gain abdominal fat so quickly and find it almost impossible to get rid of it? Because typical dieting and cardio exercise is counter-productive to six pack abs unless you have a strategic, proven formula in sculpt your abs muscles and get rid of the layers of fat that hid your abdominals.

That’s where the ‘Rapid Fire Abs Trifecta’ system comes in, with its simple 3-step formula.

RAPID FIRE CHEST

This workout absolutely helps build the chest since it targets the fast twitch fibres in the chest, which just happen to be the ones with the greatest potential for size and strength.

If you want a strong, muscular chest, here's the bottom line:

Do the right exercises

Perform them with a high intensity

RAPID FIRE ABS SYSTEM FOR MEN

Funk here, and I was so excited when Arnel's Rapid Fire Abs System  was launched, that I created a version of the workout and got a early look at the program.  Now I can share it with you.

Before you read and watch Arnel Ricafranca, creator of the Rapid Abs Program, read what someone posted on my Youtube Channel as a comment to my Rapid Fire Abs and Chest Workout:

RAPID FIRE ABS PROGRAM FOR MEN


If you are a guy reading this, set aside everything right now including your email, cellphone and Facebook because this will be the most important letter you will ever read.


If you are a woman looking for ways to help your guy lose that extra fat around his stomach, then read on since this is something you will want to buy for him.



Arnel Before and After

 Finally, if you are someone looking for the ‘magic bullet’ to help you get shredded abs without a scientific, proven system, then I’m afraid you may have landed on the wrong website. But, if you’re looking for REAL solutions founded on REAL science and cutting-edge strategy, then the information I’m about to share with you just may be the most important RAPID FIRE ab training information you’ve ever read.

Now that you are reading this and you know this system is right for you, let me ask you the question that bought you here in the first place.

Have you ever wondered what may be holding you back from the most SHREDDED abs possible? Why you’ve always HELD ON to that stubborn fat around your mid-section?

If so, you’ve come to the right place, because that’s what I specialize in.

The Problem: The “Android” Fat Distribution in Men

Men accumulate and store body fat in a very unique manner compared to woman.

Most men, when they gain fat, tend to gain it around their waist and chest area (unlike women, who gain fat in their lower body, including the butt and thigh). This is called the ‘android’ type of fat distribution.

This extra fat around your waist, as you know, looks unattractive. In addition, this has some serious health consequences, and increases the chances of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension (leading causes of death).

Unfortunately, most fat loss programs focus on dieting and weight loss but not fat loss around the abdominal area, which is the reason you are holding on to several pounds of ugly fat around your midsection.

Sure, you may have known someone who lost a lot of “abdominal fat” in a short period of time, but fat loss and weight loss in the abdominal section are two critically different things.

Want to lose a lot of weight in the abdominal area in a short period of time? You certainly can, if you do the following:


1. Go on a diet (which reduces your metabolism)


2. Do a lot of cardio exercise (which burns fat but does not give you a sculpted six pack)

Neither of these is the way to get six pack abs. In fact, these are surefire ways to get a metabolism so beaten and battered that the moment you decide to return to any sort of a normal diet or exercise program, your abdominal fat (and then some) piles back on even faster.

So if specific, targeted abdominal exercises are required to get the shredded six pack, and dieting and cardio exercise DOES NOT work for abdominal muscle sculpting, how CAN you create the necessary environment to get that shredded six pack without having your body backfiring on you after the plan is completed?


The Solution: The Rapid Fire FOUR Week Six Pack Formula

If you are thinking: “6 Pack Abs In 4 Short Weeks Is Impossible!”, let me tell you that you are not alone. Most of my students felt the same way, until I proved to them that this INDEED was possible.

7 Minutes a Day Is All It Takes

Why do people gain abdominal fat so quickly and find it almost impossible to get rid of it? Because typical dieting and cardio exercise is counter-productive to six pack abs unless you have a strategic, proven formula in sculpt your abs muscles and get rid of the layers of fat that hid your abdominals.

That’s where the ‘Rapid Fire Abs Trifecta’ system comes in, with its simple 3-step formula.

RFA – Step 1: Do the Rapid Fire Abs Workouts as prescribed.

These workouts laser target your abdominal muscles to pump and shape them in less than 7 minutes a day.

Ok Ok. I know what you are thinking. “7 minutes?! No workout can beat me up that fast!” Well, let me ask you this question. If you were to do 50 pushups in 5 hours, how hard would that be? Ok, now let’s take those same 50 pushups and complete it in 50 seconds. That’s how we get results. That’s intensity. Higher intensity, faster results.


RFA – Step 2: Do the prescribed High Intensity Interval Training on non-abdominal days.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), which consists of an activity (Running, Biking, Jump Roping, Rowing, Elliptical) at high intensity for a short duration of time, followed by low intensity for a period of time, repeated for sets. The best part is you can enjoy your favorite cardio exercise AND gain the massive benefits. Interval Training will synergize with the Rapid Fire Abs Workouts to shed the unwanted fat in front your abdominal muscles.



RFA – Step 3: Follow the Nutritional Guidelines.

Nutrition is what powers the previous steps. It is, what “fuels” our engines to do the Rapid Fire Abs Workouts and HIIT.

7 PUSH UPS VARIATIONS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN

This workout absolutely helps build the chest since it targets the fast twitch fibres in the chest, which just happen to be the ones with the greatest potential for size and strength.

RAPID FIRE CHEST SYSTEM by Arnel Ricafranca

Have you ever wondered why your chest muscles never seems to grow despite doing thousands of pushups?

Are you fed up with a small, puny chest area despite all those chest presses in the gym and protein supplements that let you down yet again?

Are you tired of being ignored by the ladies, unable to get their attention and has this affected your confidence and your ability to get the respect, attention and authority you always wanted?

You are not alone. I have been where you are right now, and as you can see from my picture above, I have come a long way, and I want to share my BIGGEST lesson with you today so you don’t have to continue the misery of a puny, underdeveloped chest.

I’m going to reveal to you the ONE reason why your body won’t ALLOW your chest to grow and then provide you the most advanced solution developed to strategically grow your chest in a short 4 weeks.

The Problem: Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers

In order to grow your chest at the fastest rate possible, you need to target the muscle fibers that are larger in volume and extremely powerful vs the slow muscle fibers that are smaller, dense and used for endurance.

In case you are wondering “fibers what?” allow me to explain this rather important scientific concept. It holds the key to unlocking growth in your chest muscles.

You see, your body is made up of 3 fibers in specific.


1.Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers (Type I)


2.Intermediate Twitch Muscle Fibers (Type IIa)


3.Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers (Type IIb)

If you were to look at a muscle biopsy, you’d see a combination of red and white fibers with some shades in between. White colored being the fast twitch fibers and red colored being slow twitch fibers.

Ever see a long distance marathon runner? Their muscles are NOT defined and remain tiny in size. They tend to have about 75% slow twitch muscle fibers for endurance.

Now let’s see another comparison. For most muscular athletes and professional bodybuilders, muscles are sharply defined, formed and are quite larger in size. They tend to have about 75% fast twitch fibers.


The Truth: Most Guys Training Their Chest Only Train The Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers and Neglect The Most Important Fast Twitch Muscle Fibers

When you are exercising your chest at a low to moderate intensity, your body first uses the slow twitch muscle fibers and then intermediate twitch muscle fibers to get the job done. After you increase the intensity (Force x Distance / Time) if your body finds it necessary, fast twitch fibers are used to meet demands.


The problem is that most of us train the slow and intermediate twitch muscle fibers or we never hit the intensity needed to signal our central nervous system and the body that we need more fast twitch muscle fibers.


It gets worse.

What then happens with low intensity long duration chest workouts is that the slow fibers get worked (They are small and don’t respond to growth), intermediate fibers get used to being worked as slow fibers and begin turning more red, and the white fast fibers are never worked so they shrink in size.

Ouch!

Imagine a bodybuilder training like a marathon runner – his muscle size will NEVER achieve full growth potential.

Yet that’s how most people train. They never get results, and I bet the same problem is at the root of your struggles too.



The Solution: Strategically Target The Intermediate and Fast Muscle Fibers

Here’s the big breakthrough you’ve been looking for.

Science proves that you cannot take red slow twitch muscle fibers and turn them completely to white fast twitch fibers but you can take the intermediate muscle fibers which is all various shades and transform them into more of the white muscle fibers.

Then with more of the right training, grow your white / fast muscle fibers which are much larger in volume and start looking like muscular sprinter.

That’s where the Rapid Fire Chest program comes in.

If you perform quick, powerful and explosive chest movements like I created for you in Rapid Fire Chest, your body will begin to need more fast twitch muscle fibers thus making your chest muscles more white.

Each exercise, timing of each round, and resistance selection was strategically positioned to target the intermediate and fast twitch fibers to whiten the fibers and rapidly grow your chest.

The results are mind blowing.
