Delicious and Nutritious Primed Beef & Chicken Meatloaf

1 Comment

My darlings loved their The Wholesome Table Meatloaf so much. It was so big that they even had the left-overs the following day for lunch. I successfully made my own Primed Meatloaf that they enjoyed for dinner and in their lunch box. See this article for some other Primed lunch box ideas.

Ingredients:

Meatloaf Primed

500 grams chicken mince
500 grams beef mince
3 onions
2 knobs of garlic (around 20 cloves)
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons of chili flakes
3 eggs
1 & 1/2 cups of coconut flour
250 grams of feta cheese
100 grams of smashed pistachios (optional/can also use other nuts like cashews)
salt and pepper
coconut oil
olive oil

Additional: can add oregano leaves, malunggay leaves or other greens for additional vitamins and minerals

Great carbohydrates Monday – Primed Coconut Cream Cabbage with Mustard and Chili

2 Comments

Primed involves no cheap and nasty Carbs like Bread, Pasta, Noodles, Rice, Crackers etc. These cheap carbs are all less than optimal nutrition, cause large spikes in your blood sugar levels and also cause inflammation in your body due to the excess sugars they are metabolized as. This then affects your immune system.

The Primed Lifestyle involves eating more healthy fats and quality Carbohydrates. This week I will highlight 7 quality Carbohydrate Recipes that are far superior in nutrients to any of the cheap carbs mentioned above.

Eat more quality carbohydrates, healthy fats and protein and you will reduce inflammation in your body (less aches and pains), bring your blood sugars down to a healthy level and stabilize them (better moods), and build your immune system so as to fight, not feed, disease.

Eat real food with real flavors and experience unreal results. You will get more energy, mental clarity and ailments will disappear or be reduced.

Ingredients:

1 or 2 cabbages
lots of onions, garlic and green and/or red chilis (optional)
coconut milk or quality full-fat cream (please never use chemically laden low-fat monstrosities)
salt and pepper
coconut oil
quality mustard like Dijon (without added sugars)
bacon or chicken thigh is optional as explained below

Butter Re-Fried Primed Omelette for Better Health and Weight Loss

3 Comments

Here is one of my favorite Primed egg recipes that you can prepare ahead of time to make your life easier. A lack of planning and forethought are usual reasons for taking a poor nutrition option. This way you are better prepared for life’s food challenges.

You can cook several Primed Omelettes with many Primed ingredients and simply re-fry in delicious butter the following day. Remember, quality fat makes you healthy and highly processed grains, sugar and vegetable oil make you unhealthy! Please see here for other items that are perfect to always have stocked in your fridge.

Here’s how my newly Primed client Etta described her re-fried Primed Omelette: “Delicious! I was so excited to wake up and have breakfast today. I felt so full and satisfied right up until lunch. Amazing. Thanks Chad.”
