<p>Okay, so I&#8217;m going to share the secret recipe to my world famous protein brownies!  Enjoy the fruits of my labor <img src='http://www.apexbody.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Ingredients:</p>
<ul>
<li>9 egg whites</li>
<li>3 whole eggs</li>
<li>2 cups non-fat cottage cheese</li>
<li>4 scoops chocolate whey protein powder (approx 60 gms)</li>
<li>1 cup apple sauce</li>
<li>3-4 cups oatmeal (quick cooking kind)</li>
<li>1/4 cup almond flakes</li>
<li>1/4 cup walnut/pecan chunks</li>
<li>1/2 &#8211; 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips</li>
<li>1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes</li>
<li>1 tbsp vanilla extract</li>
<li>1 tbsp baking powder</li>
<li>1 tsp cinnamon</li>
<li>2 tbsp splenda or brown sugar</li>
</ul>
<p>Utensils</p>
<ul>
<li>Big metal mixing bowl</li>
<li>Whisk</li>
<li>1/2 cup measurer</li>
<li>1 tbsp measurer</li>
<li>2 baking pans (one to cook in, the other to cut and serve in.  you can use one but i found that cutting the brownies ruined the pan over time.  also don&#8217;t use cooking spray!  your pan should have teflon coating and doesn&#8217;t need it.  spray is full of chemicals and ruins the pan)</li>
</ul>
<p>Instructions</p>
<ol>
<li>First turn on your oven and set it to 400 degrees.  It&#8217;ll be ready when you&#8217;re done with your mix.</li>
<li>Next get your eggs ready then add cottage cheese and whey protein powder.  whisk!</li>
<li>Next add baking powder, splenda, cinnamon and vanilla extract.  whisk!</li>
<li>Now add almond flakes, walnut chunks, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, and apple sauce.  whisk!</li>
<li>Last add oatmeal.  whisk!</li>
<li>Put mix into baking pan.  Set onto middle/top rack.  Cook for 30 minutes.  When finished, let cool for a few minutes, then transfer the entire cake to another baking pan (the one you cut and serve in).</li>
<li>I cut them into a dozen pieces.  It&#8217;s a healthy snack that lasts me a few days.  In between, keep the brownies in the serving pan (pan should have a cover that seals it, keeps moisture in and prevents them from drying out.).</li>
<li>As soon as the brownies are cooled off, put them in fridge right away.  There&#8217;s cottage cheese in there and you don&#8217;t want them to spoil.</li>
</ol>
<p>(be sure to drink a cup of water after eating, this helps to expand the fiber in the brownie and fill up your stomach.  great for controlling hunger pangs)<br/><br/><br />
Enjoy Steve Kim&#8217;s World Famous Protein Brownies!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a great recipe, it&#8217;s simple and easy to make, tastes great and is super healthy for you.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been leaning out fast lately and this change in my diet has helped a lot.  Six to eight hours before bed, you want to cut out carbs like rice or pasta and instead, just eat vegetables.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not a big fan of veggies or salads, but while I was touring Romania with Hollywood Men, I was served this dish every day and it&#8217;s the most delicious way for me to eat my veggies.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how:</p>
<p>Chop up a tomato and half a cucumber.  Top with feta cheese.  Sprinkle pepper.  Add olive oil and vinegar.  Mix it up.  Voila!  This salad is so tasty I eat it practically every day.  The tomato contains fat burning properties and cucumber is a great fibrous and water bearing veggie.  The cheese provides calcium and olive oil and vinegar are a healthy combo (as long as you don&#8217;t drench your food).</p>
<p>Try and enjoy!</p>
<p>- Steve</p>

		<title>Review of Anti-Acne Product &#8220;Proactiv Solution&#8221;</title>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The skin product Proactiv was formulated by two Board Certified Dermatologist. It is a three step skin care system created for those who suffer from acne. Of course acne is a very distressing condition which can effect teenagers as well as adults. The majority of those who suffer from acne desperately search for solution to this distressing skin care problem. Proactiv is just one of many skin care systems for sale which claims to be able to get rid of acne.<span id="more-110"></span></p>
<h2>Product Details</h2>
<p>Proactive is a three step skin care system which consists of a Renewing Cleanser, a Revitalizing Toner and a Repairing Lotion. There is an official website for Proactive and the product can be ordered directly from the official website. There is also detailed information available on the website regarding the two dermatologists who created this product. Of course there are a whole host of other products and skin care systems available for sales which claim to be able to provide a solution to acne.</p>
<p>Of course a number of these products contain some strong ingredients and certainly the Proactive skin care solution also contains a bleaching agent. This means that acne products are not always suitable for those who suffer both from sensitive skin as well as acne. Of course if what you are looking for is a product to get rid of your signs of aging such as sagging skin, wrinkles and lines then Proactiv are not an appropriate product for you. We know that as we age the amount of collagen in the body decreases and that this leads to signs of aging. Clinical trials and research have shown that an effective way to stimulate collagen production is to use peptides.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=jGoXmpWbS6E&amp;offerid=80371.10000168&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4"><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=jGoXmpWbS6E&amp;bids=80371.10000168&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4&amp;gridnum=12" border="0" alt="Guthy Renker Corporation" /></a></p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The anti-wrinkle cream Meaningful Beauty is the result of a collaboration between the model Cindy Crawford and Jean-Louis Sebagh, a French doctor. Legend has it that Cindy fell in love with the cream while shooting in France, but that it was too unstable to travel all the way to America with her. After entering semi-retirement, Cindy missed using the Meaningful Beauty cream and partnered with Dr. Sebagh and Guthy Renker in order to develop a more stable version suitable for shipping. This way, Cindy Crawford and women everywhere could experience the effects of Meaningful Beauty skincare for themselves.<span id="more-107"></span></p>
<p>The key active ingredient in Meaningful Beauty is a rare French melon extract that is claimed to act as a powerful antioxidant. This is also what made the original versions of this product so unstable for shipping. Dr. Sebagh claims that he noticed one type of melon that always appeared to stay firmer than the others. After experimenting with it, he found that the potent antioxidant known as superoxide dismutase could be extracted from the melon. It is not uncommon to extract antioxidants from various fruits. Citrus fruits, for example, are a leading source of antioxidants found in many skin care products, as are grapes. Antioxidants protect against cell oxidization, which can be a leading cause of skin cell death.</p>
<h2>Product Details</h2>
<p>Meaningful Beauty currently manufactures an extensive range of skin and beauty care products. Ideally, users are directed to purchase all these products and construct a full Meaningful Beauty skin care regimen. Products available include moisturizers, face masks, eye creams, neck creams and cleansers. In theory, all products rely heavily on the superoxide dismutase melon extract for their active ingredient.</p>
<p>The full list of ingredients found in the Meaningful Beauty moisturizer cream is as follows: Octinoxate 5.0%, Avobenzone 3.0%, Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate, Propylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Acacia Senegal Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Cucumis Melo (Melon) Fruit Extract, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Cholesterol, Lecithin, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride, Glycol Stearate, PEG-6 Stearate, PEG-32 Stearate, PEG-75 Stearate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Alcohol Denat., Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance (Parfum), Benzoic Acid, Chlorphenesin, Methylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben.</p>
