P90X & Shakeology Transformation! WOW!

So you might be skeptical when it comes to fitness programs and protein shakes because you have tried so many and have failed each time or couldn't actually keep the weight off! That used to me too! I found great motivation when I met people and saw their transformation up close and personal! I want to share a story with you all! This woman is a mother of 2 and changed her life for the better. After looking at these before and afters you might be wondering what she ate, and exactly how she did. So I asked her! This is what she
said:
 I had a chocolate shakeology with 2 cups of cold coffee (with espresso) for breakfast each morning, a muscle milk light for mid-morning snack, something for lunch like grilled chicken breast and steamed veggies (broccoli or green beans etc), a P90X protein bar for mid afternoon snack, and a dinner similar to lunch with a slightly larger portion and usually one good carb like a sweet potato or a small portion of Dreamfields reduced carb whole wheat pasta and homemade tomato sauce. I also would make a giant pot of homemade minestrone or pasta fagioli soup and freeze containers of it to have for a quick lunch or dinner if I didn't have time to cook something he...althy. If the family ordered pizza or chinese or had pasta for dinner, I would either have some of that soup or a shake with a banana in it or one of the other recipes with a little more calories than my breakfast shake. I would adjust my calorie intake based on how I was feeling, with the different phases of the P90X program sometimes I needed more or less. If I was feeling tired or wasted I would increase how much I was eating or add another good carb at lunch time etc. I also had my rule of 6 - I didn't eat anything over 6 grams of sugar or 6 grams of fat, except olive oil or canola oil in my cooking.

1 1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey meat
4 tbsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground coriander

1 vegetable bouillon cube, dissolved in 1 cup of water (gluten free if needed)

Crock Pot Directions

§  Follow step 1 below.

§  Then combine all ingredients as listed in your crock pot.

§  Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Stove Top Directions

Step 1 – In a large soup pot, sauté the red onion, bell pepper and garlic cloves in the oil.

Step 2 – Once the onions are translucent, stir in the turkey meat. Continue to stir until the meat is cooked.

Step 4 – Pour in the water with the dissolved bouillon cube.

Step 5 – Add the tomatoes, tomato past and beans.

Step 6 – Keep at a low and steady boil for about 5-10 minutes to allow the spices to really absorb.
