Directions: 
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a small pan and melt it over low heat. Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of each of your spices in a small bowl and pour in the melted coconut oil. Mix all the ingredients together. Let the spice and coconut oil mixture cool.

Rub the spice and oil mixture under the skin of the chicken with your hands. Once the chicken is completely coated, place it breast side down in a glass baking pan and pop it in the oven. Let the chicken cook for 1 to 2 hours until it’s done.

Resistant Starch to Burn fat from the Diet Solution Program



Carbs contained in foods such as potatoes and rice usually get pushed aside as soon as anyone starts watching their calories. But 2008 research indicated they should be part of any weight-loss plan.
Why? All these foods contain resistant starch — a unique kind of fibre that experts are saying is one of the most sensational nutritional developments in years.

Resistant starch (RS) is starch and starch degradation products that escape digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals. Resistant starch is considered the third type of dietary fiber, as it can deliver some of the benefits of insoluble fiber and some of the benefits of soluble fiber. Some carbohydrates, such as sugars and most starch, are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored. Resistant starch, on the other hand, resists digestion and passes through to the large intestine where it acts like dietary fiber.



Foods with Resistant Starch:

Bananas, corn , potatoes, yams, pasta, pearl Barley, whole grain bread, navy beans, oatmeal, lentils and brown rice.


Resistant starches are natural fat-burners, further increasing satiety, and diminishing hunger. "Resistant starch is bulky, so it takes up space in your digestive system. And because you can't digest or absorb it, the starch never enters your bloodstream. That means it bypasses the fate of most carbohydrates, which get socked away as body fat,"

Butyrate, an enzyme created by resistant starch is believed to nurture the colon, thereby aiding in the prevention of colon cancer, Prevention states. It also causes pH balance in the intestines, which boosts the immune system, further demolishing free radicals.


This form of starch has several benefits. It addition to helping you lose fat you will also cleanse your body. Resistant starch is a great colon cleanser. A clean colon results in great skin and prevents colon cancer in the future.

Stay easy, get healthy with Resistant Starch.

Omega 3 to Burn Fat from the Diet Solution Program


Omega 3's are an essential fatty acid within your body. Unfortunately, this fatty acid is not created naturally by your body, and is only obtainable through the things that we eat. Fish is the primary supplier of Omega 3's in the human diet. Few other foods have it in the same amount or form.

Over the last couple hundred of years, the variety of human food available to the masses has increased dramatically. With this, people are eating less and less fish every year. Various tests confirm that the majority of people do not get an adequate supply. Scientists have noticed a dramatic increase in diseases related to the lack of Omega 3's in the body.
A study performed by the University College of Cork and another by the University of Navarra indicated that Omega 3 fish oil supplements can be extremely effective in aiding weight loss by lowering appetite. Since 3 Omega benefits are plentiful, this is just another positive effect.

200 participants were used in the Omega 3 weight loss study. These participants were classified as overweight or obese. Each participant had to adhere to a strict program of diet and exercise. Each patient was either given a low or a high dose of Omega 3. At the end of the study, it was shown that the patients who received the high dose of Omega 3 acids had a lowered appetite and did not feel as hungry between meals.

Anchovies, Black Cod, Cabbage, Canola Oil, Cauliflower, Cloves, Flax seeds & Flaxseed Oil, Halibut, Herring (Both Atlantic and Pacific), Mackerel (Especially Atlantic), Mustard Seeds, Oregano, Oysters (Especially from the Pacific), Pumpkin Seeds (Also known as Pepitas), Salmon (Especially Farm Raised), Sardines, Scallops, Soybeans & Soybean Oil, Tofu, Trout (Especially Lake Trout), Walnuts & Walnut Oil.

Omega 3 is also said to prevent cancer, help arthiritis patients, help people in depression and help with a myriad of health conditions. Symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency include fatigue, poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression, and poor circulation.

So Stay Easy, and enough Omega 3's.





How Proteins Help you Burn Fat from Diet Solution Program




If you need to lose weight, you may be tempted to think that you will need to give up on some of your nutrition, too. For a lot of people, one aspect of their diet that gets severely limited through dieting is that of protein intake. A recent study, however, by the Dairy Farmers’ Association of Canada, shows that protein is helpful to cut belly fat.
Many people claim that excess protein will get wasted while others say that all excess calories eventually end up being stored as fat. Biochemical pathways for the conversion of protein to fat do exist in humans, the likelihood of it ever happening in any but the most absurdly non-physiological circumstances are effectively nil.  Odds of protein being converted to fat in any quantitatively meaningful fashion is simply not going to happen. 




The following foods have high amounts of proteins: 
Chicken, Fish, Pork, Eggs and Dairy, Beans (including soy), Nuts and Seeds, Cheese, Lean Veal and Beef, Roasted Pumpkin, Squash, and Watermelon Seeds, Yeast Extract Spread (aka: Marmite), Lobster and Crab.
Also, protein releases a hormone called glucagon that does the exact opposite to insulin. So if insulin is a fat storing hormone, glucagon is a fat burning hormone. 
If you eat a serving of protein with everyone of your meals you are going to get this fat burning effect. Protein is also a blood sugar stabilizer and will help you keep your energy levels at a constant throughout the day rather then the ups and downs you would get from just eating carbohydrates.
In addition to helping you burn fat, protein is essential to build muscle. Quite a few people  do not eat enough protein to help them build muscles. People that workout need to supplement their diet with a lot of protein. Without sufficient protein the muscles do not form properly and can lead to complications or improper shape.
