| Happy Snow Day in Boston to you!
Talk about a surprise. I guess, I'm so used to all the media and social buzz around the weather that when I wake up to find snow on the ground, I feel surprised, unprepared and a bit disappointed that I hadn't heard about it beforehand. Oh well. I guess it's time to catch and eat some fresh snow with the bunny! :-)
Now eating fresh snow is a memory many can relate to, but aside from being fresh, hydrating and fun, it doesn't satisfy physical hunger or provide calories for performance. For that we need food. And food is the topic for this newsletter.
The last couple of weeks I shared our nutrition discussion presentation, spread out over multiple emails. I figured it was timely because many people coming into the new year were focusing on health, so what better way to accelerate change than by sharing our nutrition system for it. When you read our success stories, yelp reviews (BG+MC)or facebook reviews, you can tell, like most anything that our program works when you apply it and now members are asking for more concrete examples of recipes people use when following our plan.
Recipe Swap Would you please reply and share your favorite meals you use whether, found or created, that are in harmony with our 5 foods to have at most meals? You can be as simple, as detailed or anywhere in between that you like. You can share pictures, screen shots or even videos of your recipe, prep, cooking, finished creation and storage. Or you can keep it super simple and reply with the name of your recipe and the items listed below it.
5 Foods To Have At Most Meals - lean protein

Super Simple Recipe Share - Example

Avocado Salsa Hot Sauce Lime Seltzer *Optional Sweet Potato (serve salad on top of baked sweet potato). **I'll eat my hard shells, sour cream, chips, shredded cheese, margarita or corona as part of my splurge meal and because we'll cook in bulk, we'll have the rest during the week.
How to Share Your Recipe You can reply to this email and/or post directly to our new Private Facebook Group for Members. If you're not on Facebook or you're not a member, that's o.k. I'll collect the recipes and share them in future newsletters. If you are a member, are on Facebook and you didn't already get invited, please let me know, so I can invite you.
Happy sharing,
Coach Mike
