What mother of young children isn’t in a hurry? Driving around town, preparing lunches, changing diapers, shopping and trying to exercise. Whether you work outside or inside of the home, chances are you’re looking for shortcuts when it comes to meals and snacks. Here are a few ideas to get your efficient juices flowing and lose weight in the process.

Quick Lunch Ideas:

Turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with celery sticks

Tuna melt with sliced tomatoes on whole wheat bread

Bowl of tomato soup with a whole grain roll

Ready made salad and chicken breast strips

Whole wheat English muffin melt with tomato and cheese

Chicken salad stuffed in a hollowed-out green pepper

Vegetable quesadillas

Quick Snack Ideas:

Yogurt topped with granola and fruit

Bran muffin with apple slices

Brown rice cake topped with ricotta cheese, cinnamon and thinly sliced apple

Bell peppers and hummus

Light popcorn

Cottage cheese topped with peaches or strawberries

Celery with peanut butter or dressing

When you want to snack, you’ll reach for the food that’s easiest to eat. So wash and prepare your vegetables before you need them. At the next snack attack, you’ll be ready with cut celery sticks, snap peas, baby carrots or bell pepper strips. The same thing goes for fruit. A whole cantaloupe or watermelon remains uneaten, day after day. But once it’s sliced and ready to go, voila, it’s a delicious and easy snack. Slice up an apple and have it as a snack two hours after breakfast. Have a slice every few minutes to keep your desire for munchies at bay until lunchtime.

Yes, eating healthy involves more preparation than reaching for a bag of chips. But the payoff is well worth the effort. Your health will improve, you’ll lose weight, and your kids will have a great example of healthy eating. And remember, great choices don’t have to take an hour to prepare.

Today’s Action Step: What are some healthy snack and meal choices you will make today?

The good news is that you don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight healthy and fast. Anyway unhealthy diets that deprive you of eating nutritious meals could be harmful for your long-term health. And in fact consuming more frequently can actually help you drop those additional pounds.

Start off of your day with a hearty breakfast. This is the most powerful meal of the day. Upon arising in the morning your body is craving for fuel. It needs to get some food to get your metabolism revved back up. If you miss the first meal of the day you’ll lack the energy needed for burning those extra calories throughout the day.

Follow your breakfast meal with a lunch and light dinner. And eat healthy snacks in between meals and not empty calories or junk food. By eating less at meals along with snacks rather then three huge meals your body will burn the calories better and won’t store as much unnecessary fats. And it keeps your metabolism charged up and running efficiently all day long.

Consume plenty of water. Water acts like an appetite suppressant and will help you to stave off those food cravings. It also helps to metabolize the fats in your body. To help you to lose weight healthy and fast be sure to stay well hydrated.

Eat plenty of fiber rich foods. The average person eats no where near the daily recommended amount (25 grams). Fiber not only will make you feel fuller, but also has good health benefits. The body doesn’t digest fiber so it just passes through the body taking potentially harmful substances along with it.

Consume more of the good fats while cutting back on the bad fats. Avoid eating saturated fat and trans fatty acid products because they have been associated with health problems. Keep in mind that it’s not a good idea to cut back fats from your diet completely, the body requires fats to work properly. Try substituting monosaturated fats and omega 3 fatty acids (found in cold fish) instead, it’s been proven to have better health benefits.

To lose weight healthy and fast be sure to get enough protein. Your body absorbs protein less rapidly than carbohydrates and will satisfy your hunger cravings longer. It will also help to keep your blood sugar level more consistent, thus minimizing sugar cravings and energy loss. Lean meats, poultry and fish are good sources.

Eat the right kind of carbohydrates. High glycemic carbs tend to cause larger spikes in blood sugar, thus causing a rebound effect - high energy followed by low energy or the need to eat something sugary again. Low glycemic carbs tend to keep your blood sugar more consistent - beans, whole grains, fruit (not fruit juice), vegetables, etc.

Perform aerobic exercises. It not only will burn off calories making you thinner, but it also keeps your heart healthy. Aerobic exercises includes walking, jogging, bicycling, swimming, aerobic machines, etc. Try to do an aerobic activity at least 25 minutes or more, four to five times a week. To lose weight healthy and fast you must exercise consistently.

Description: Since my video “Bacon For Batchelors” was such a “hit,” I decided a sequel was in order(this video will be attached as a video response). Here, I prepare the last of the bacon from that video, followed by home fries, eggs and toast for my dinner on Saturday. I only eat once a day (since I was a teenager) so evey meal is technically “breakfast.” Thus the name “brinner.” In Part Two, I make the home fries and in Part Three, I finish up with the eggs.

Bon appitite!

In case you can’t understand what I said at the very end, I pointed out that the “eyes” of potatos have a high concentration of an akaloid poison and should not be eaten.

Filo and Peri are two of the hottest up and coming producer and dj talents in the biz. ‘Anthem’, the new single by Filo & Milo is a wonderful combination of smashing beats and very emotional lyrics and melody.

This is an anthem for the girl that got away
This is an anthem for the world of yesterday
This is an anthem for the rebel of my youth
This is an anthem for the risk of loving you…

Enjoy the video, and this interview by EventVibe with the talented duo.

Eventvibe founder, Tim Ortiz, was able to spend time with Dominic Filopei (Filo) & Bo Pericic (Peri) during a recent tour to promote their latest CD, “Crowd Control.”

Tim: Where are you both from in New York?
Filo: I was born and raised in the Bronx.
Peri: I’m from Westchester, NY and our studio is in the Bronx.

Tim: How long have you been in the business?
Filo: I’ve been involved with music since I was 5 years old, but I’ve really only been in the business about four years.
Peri: We’ve been in the business for almost 4 years now, but I have been working on music for as long as I can remember.

Tim: How did you get in the business?
Filo: We officially got in the business when Armin Van Buuren signed our first record in 2003.
Peri: Yeah - we got the call on July 17th, 2003 and Armin wanted to sign our record ‘Elevation’! It’s an easy date to remember because it happened to be on my 18th birthday - what a great present!

Tim: Bo, has your age ever gotten in the way of your goals as a producer/dj?
Filo: Not really. It’s a little harder to have people take you seriously when you’re young, but I don’t mind earning respect. I would say that being a producer/dj has made me grow up quicker because of all the things we’ve had to deal with in this business.

Tim: Dom, a couple of your tracks have been picked up by Paul Van Dyk’s label, Vandit. Tell us about this please.
Peri: We’ve been very fortunate to continuously have our work recognized by the top names in the scene. Last year Paul Van Dyk picked up a tune we made with California based rock band Fisher called ‘Ordinary Moment’. The record was really successful for Vandit and they asked us for more. Our latest production ‘Anthem’ is a collaboration with New York based rock singer and good friend Eric Lumiere. It’s catching a lot of buzz and people are already singing it at all our shows - we’re really excited about that! Just last week at the Winter Music conference Paul van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten all dropped it.

Tim: When you are doing studio work, please explain the creative process and who tends to get involved more, in what areas.
Filo: We are involved in all the areas equally. The case with many duos is that one acts mainly as the producer while the other is more of a DJ. In our case everything is split equally and it really helps us move forward quicker. Sometimes one of us will put in more work on a certain track but at the end, everything we do is 50/50. The creative process is pretty spontaneous and since we have two systems at our studio, we bang out ideas pretty quickly. It’s almost like an assembly line sometimes - while one of us is finishing the new track, the other is coming up with ideas for the next!

Tim: Where does your musical influence and inspiration come from?
Filo: My inspiration comes from the rock legends and their ability to be at the front of the masses and have such a musical and cultural influence. As a DJ, I’m starting do the same thing and I have not had a more gratifying experience than that.
Peri: My dad has always been into electronic music and I grew up listening to electronic music pioneers such as Jean Michelle Jarre, Kraftwerk, etc. That really made an impact on me! I have an extremely close family and my parents are a continuous source of inspiration. The opportunities I’ve been presented throughout my entire life is a direct result of their hard work, and that inspires me to work hard every day. It’s hard not to be inspired when such an amazing family, girlfriend, and music partner/best friend (Domenick) surrounds me.

Tim: What should we expect from Filo and Peri in the next year?
Filo: You can expect Filo and Peri in a city near you!
Peri: An artist album later this year and some exciting gigs! We’re also starting to work with Paul Van Dyk and Vandit much more closely.
