Skillet Corn Pancakes

Makes: 2 servings

Here’s a balanced recipe for low-carb breakfasts, complete with vegetables. These pancakes are filled with fresh sweet corn, which is actually pretty low in carbs, as long as it’s not of the frozen variety. Although a regular fryer or stovetop skillet will work, I prefer to use cast-iron when cooking these for weight loss. Cast iron has very low internal temperature (typically 350 degrees) so it won’t spatter much when flipping. The flavor is also superb and the pancakes are more rustic than your typical fluffy pancake, which in some cases, can contain more than twice as many carbs per serving as the gluten-free option. You can put these pancakes on a plate with fruit salad or other veggies as a side.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Like pumpkin? It’s likely that you’ve already noticed an increase in food trends dedicated to it. You might even be tempted to start some pumpkin recipes of your own. But if you haven’t already planned out your next serving of pumpkin goodness, perhaps it’s best that you don’t.

On the other hand, if you want to spice up your weekly routine, consider adding a pumpkin recipe or two to your diet. After all, research has found that pumpkin, in addition to being a source of vitamin A, can also help maintain brain function.

1. Pumkin Breakfast Muffins

Spinach and Artichoke Quiche

This recipe is a welcome break from traditional quiche, being light and airy. It’s a little on the sweet side for the taste you’d expect with a quiche, so add a big dollop of whipped cream if you’re a fan.

Section 2: The Best Metabolic Strategies for Weight Loss

Section 3: The 7 best weight loss tips for men

How to increase your metabolism

Want to boost your metabolism? Start by taking advantage of the increased energy available to you following a weight loss. You may be surprised to find that your body has already grown accustomed to the lower energy level and may not return to its previous “base” energy levels for several months after you stop losing weight. So, consider taking advantage of this time to really focus on developing a well-balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Eating more calories will also make it easier for your body to put your fat mass to good use.

The importance of sleep

You may need more energy to get through the day, but getting less sleep could actually cause you to feel sluggish and less productive.

Ditch the junk food

Fruits and vegetables are extremely beneficial when it comes to boosting your metabolism. Although eating fruits and veggies won’t do much to help your body burn fat, it will help you maintain weight. In fact, according to a recent study from Stanford University, people who ate around one cup of veggies per day had significantly less chance of getting diabetes. In fact, consuming a bunch of fruits and veggies (instead of plain old junk food) can make you over the top leaner, but can also make you feel like a pig in the process.

Say no to artificial sweeteners

While you shouldn’t go too overboard, it’s wise to avoid certain types of artificial sweeteners. While they may be safer than sugar, these sweeteners have been proven to be bad for your body.

Be active

Exercising helps to decrease your appetite, and increase your metabolism. The easiest way to exercise is to walk, but if you enjoy some cardio you could run, swim or cycle. You could also opt for a group fitness class, which can make you feel part of a group.

Eat better

Make the decision to eat less processed foods (ones that come in boxes or from supermarkets) and more whole foods. Think home-cooked meals, be it from scratch or not. A healthful diet can help you to feel full longer and reduce your appetite. Also, you’re likely to be less prone to overeating and you’ll save time.

What are some health benefits of cutting carbs?

“I consider carbs like sugar, if you eat too much of it you’ll be extra hungry,” Dr. Oetker said. “So, if you’re watching your carbs in a healthy way, the first and easiest way is to just focus on the things you know are doing you the most good.”

Remember, when it comes to losing weight, the more veggies you eat, the more weight you’ll lose.

My favorite way to cut carbs is to eliminate white rice and refined bread. I prefer quinoa as a meal replacement because it has fewer carbohydrates than white rice. I also like to have no more than a tablespoon of peanut butter (or another nut butter like cashew or almond) every day. And for breakfast I make a smoothie with almond milk, frozen fruit, ice, frozen spinach, and chia seeds.

If you’ve made it to this point, it’s safe to say that you’re more than ready for your own or someone else’s weight loss. It may feel a bit intimidating, but don’t worry, we’re here to help you start on the road to a healthier lifestyle.
