My Favorite Ways to Eat Nut Butters

My Favorite Ways to Eat Nut Butters

Here are some of my favorite ways to use different nut butters…
1.        Almond Butter with apple sauce with cinnamon sprinkled on top – a great after dinner snack if you’re looking for something sweet.
2.       Almond or Walnut Butter on pretty much any fruit.  My new favorite is almond butter on fresh figs…yummy!
3.       Nut Butter and Apple Butter Sandwich – one of my favorite on-the-go breakfast options.  I use 1-2 tbsp of nut butter and 1 tbsp of apple butter on 2 slices of sprouted grain bread and out the door I go.
4.       Cashew Butter on celery sticks – add a few raisins for a little sweet taste.
5.       Walnut Butter in oatmeal – I mix the walnut butter right into my warm oatmeal.  Sometimes I add 1 tsp of honey as well.
All of these options are a great way to get a ton of healthy fats, especially Omega 3’s, into your daily meal plans.

Sample Workout To Get Your Fat Loss Engines Going

Sample Workout To Get Your Fat Loss Engines Going

Multiplanar Movements are exercises that ensure you are moving in all dimensions (Forward and Back, Side to Side, and Rotation).  Why do you want to do this?  By choosing exercises that move your body in all directions you will be increasing your fat loss results exponentially.
Let’s say you wanted to train your legs and butt.  A typical Leg Press machine would just have you working in the Forward and Back direction.  But what if you chose to do a Squat instead? Here’s how you could hit all directions:
  1. Basic Squat – Feet shoulder width apart and sit back as if you were going to sit on a bench and then use your legs and butt to come back up to a standing position.  (Forward and Back)
  2. Side Squat – Perform the same squatting movement but now step out to the side, alternating left and right, with each squat. (Side to Side)
  3. Sumo Walk Squat – Go down into a squat position and walk forward and back like a sumo wrestler would. (Rotation)
As you can see, this will take A LOT more muscles than just a plain old leg press and give you much, much better results.
This is exactly what Dr. K does for all of his patients and includes these workouts in his incredible Double Edged Fat Loss Program.
I asked Dr. K if he could give my readers a sample workout so you can try this method out for yourself.  You’ll not only see what a kick butt workout this is, but also, how quickly you’ll experience awesome results.
