This recipe seems delicious can’t wait to make it!!

Thank you for all you do and share!! YOU ROCK

Zuzanna,
What size portion do you have of fresh fruit for Breakfast?
What are a few examples that you have for snacks, including a rough estimate for portion size?

Thanks you ROCK.
Aia

I can’t wait to follow your diet new tips :) and the dinner sounds delicious!

How much of a serving is for one person? 1 cup, 2 cups, etc.?

Zuzana, Freddie

We had a meal I made last night from a receipe book and it was amazing – really filling and had no meat.

Get 1 butternut squash, cut in half and scoop out the seeds. sweep a little olive oil on and drizzle with balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Put in the oven for 45 minutes.

In the meantime, chop up one onion and 2 garlic cloves and put on the hob in a saucepan and a little olive oil. Add 1 tin of chopped tomatoes, 1 tin of chick peas and 2 tablespoons of tomato puree. Stir and cook for 25 minutes – in the last few minutes stir in baby spinach until it wilts.

Spoon the sauce into the butternut squash and you’re done! All veg and a little oil. Amazingly healthy and incredibly filling (as well as tasting amazing).

We made a butternut squash each but we could only eat one half each! I have the other half for lunch at work today :)

Ellie

hi suzana
i love you and i love your workouts and you’ve been my inspiration for the past six month since i discovered your website ,your work is amazing thank you .a question what the snacks will look like ,are they fruits and vegetables .

Looks delish!!!! will have to try it

Zuzana, Are you still vegetarian??

I am following the 2 month SUS challenge, but I am going on vacation in 1 month. Any tips for my super charged CFC Challenge (Cut for Cancun)??? :) I am eating very much like you, real food and 5-8 meals a day and have been following for 5 months now. I have seen great changes in my body, but now I seem to be hitting a plateu. Help me look Zuper for my vacay!!

Hit the workouts hard girl!!

best,

Cinthya

Hi Zuzanna thank u so much for sharing your daily diet with us. what kind of foods do u have as snacks??

Dear Zuzana and Fredrick,

Thank you for the first workout since you got back :) It’s a great one.

I was wondering, where do you eat carbs in your day?

Mariam

Hi ! What do you put on your Snack 1 and 2 ?
You only take some fresh fruit ? what kind of ?
For your lunch, is it only green salad, or with chicken and tomatos for exemple ?

Thks you are so beautiful !

hi guys,
your workouts always motivate me to keep going with mine!
This is a link to a grat website which gives you very specific info about all types of food. http://nutritiondata.self.com/ i find it very helpful, especialy since i have decided to restrict meat consumption.

take care
Zuzanna

Hi ZUZ and FRED,

Even I have fruits for breakfast. Could you tell us how much fruit should be consumed because I tend to overeat. For example, I have one banana, one apple and one mango. Do you think this will make me put on weight?
Please share your portion sizes too so that we all have a fair idea of how much we are consuming.

Thanks.

Hi Zuzana and Freddie,

Thanks for the recipe and daily eating plan. Please could you tell us how many pieces of fruit you eat for breakfast and what you eat for your snacks?

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

great recipe! cant wait to cook it!
is another workout coming today?
greetings from germany

haha nevermind my second question ;)

Hey Zuzana/Frederick,

Am always inspired whenever I come to your site! You make me go exercise even during my laziest days.
If i may ask, can you give examples of the snacks you eat at 10.30 am/4.30 pm?(:

Oh, and in your latest ‘fitness tips’ article, you said you’d be doing an article on how to get muscle tone without getting bulky (for girls). Really been looking forward to that!

Keep on going you two!

Cheers,
Deb

8 cloves?! that’s a lot of garlic.

THANK YOU so much for sharing the great recipes!

Just wondering about protein in your diet. How do you incorporate this in? Do you guys drink protein shakes? These workouts are excellent. Thanks for keeping us motivated.

I wanted to ask, what kinda snacks do you eat? ’cause I want to try your new dietplan, so yeah I was just wondering what would be a GOOD snack to have during that time.

Nevermind, I didn’t read lol.

Hi Zuzana and Freddie you have the same eating schedule as I do except my dinner is usually my lightest meal, more like a snack and my lunch is basically my main dish.

I think adding fresh oregano and thyme would make your dish really delicious.
I have been putting my own work outs together this was last nights.
set timer for 20 minutes

10 burpees

20 v crunches

5 pull ups

50 mountain climbers

do as many reps in the time alloted. My score was 4 rounds and 4 burpees

I haave definitely learned a lot from you in regards to making my work outs more efficient and also fun.

thank you and keep up the good work darlings : )

Hi Zuzana,

I’m assuming the pasta is wheat, right? I’m trying to figure out my portion sizes and would love for you to give me an idea of what a good size would be for meals.

I’ve always been an interval/ circuit type trainer and love your workouts thus far. I’m 5’6 and weigh about 117 lbs. I’m not trying to lose or watch the scale just wanting to start to show more definition. At times, like the last year while planning my wedding I leaned out and became SMALLER than a size 0, which is never my goal. I would like to range between a 0-2 and just be defined.

Any suggestions would be great….

seems delicious

Pretty nice! How many servings do you get from this?

Here’s a vegetarian recipe that I found online once and I really like. It’s Curried Red Lentil Soup with Lemon and it works well as a nice light dinner or lunch. When I want to make it more hearty I bake a sweet potato, chop it into bite sized pieces and throw it in there.
Anyways, here is the recipe.

2 cups red lentils
4 cups vegetable stock
1 large onion
4 celery stalks
2 carrots
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 Tbs. curry powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 Tbs. lemon juice

Chop up the veg into whatever size chunks that you prefer.

Bring lentils, vegetable broth, and 4 cups water to a simmer in large pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover it and let it simmer for 5 minutes. You’d want to stir it occasionally.

Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic; simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Add cilantro, curry powder, and cumin, and cook 20 minutes more, or until lentils are soft. Season with salt and pepper if you’d like and stir in lemon juice.

Makes about 6 servings.

I really want to try your 60 day challenge too! Even though it’s a couple days into it now. But Zuzana, I REALLY need your advice.
I’ve been trying to lose body fat now for a couple of years, and at first I was sucessful. But now whenever I try I can go a couple of days of eating small portions of healthy, balanced meals around 6 times a day, until I feel slightly full. But then I get a craving and I give in, then before I know it I’ve started to eat everything in the house. It makes me feel awful. How do you overcome cravings? I really am determind, especially with the exercise.
Anyway, love your sight! Hope you had a great time in Italy!

Zuzan
we would like to see you cooking this amazing recipe, I expected to see a video , I was disappointed .
I also cook daily for my family and i love it :)

hey! just a question…for the SUS challenge, how many days per week are u planning to workout?
take care!
Lore

Hi Zuzane,

Fantastic diet plan, 5 meals ,3 hours betwen them. Carbohidrates from fruits and vegetables all day (no procesed ) and you add protein, I suppossed ,but why pasta for dinner? It’s your post workout meal when you introduce the carbohidrates or do you make it all nights??

And what about your snacks???? Ummm, I’m waiting for new ideas !!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

oskar.

Hi,
thanks for all your tips!
…What do your snacks look like? Do you eat proteins each time?
And I have a question…I began the summer fit 6 weeks program, I’m in 2e week. If I do your suggested workout (15-30 min) in am and a cardio (20-30 min)in pm, is it too much?…Don’t we have to wait for 2 days to let muscles recover? …Please write me back when you have a minute. Thanks.
Have a nice day
Évy

Thanks for sharing!!! I am ALL for this 2 month challenge. I have been at a platue for a while now. I am not seeing much of an increase in performance or muscle mass…. I need to kick myself into gear. I have also been falling off the wagon of eating well. I have been eating 3 and 4 servings of peanut butter A DAY! I don’t see how I am not overweight. LOL
So how much fruit are you eating? I have a hard time with just fruit. I tend to have a blood sugar crash if I go 3 hours without anything after fruit. Maybe if I ate 1/2 at my first meal and saved the other half for in between breakfast and snack 1.
Anyway….. you hadn’t posted a workout yet so I made my own…. thought I would share.
It is a little more cardio than most of your recent workouts, I figured I could use some to help burn off my peanut butter;)

15 minutes in hell

interval training. (50 sec work, 10 sec rest for 15 rounds)

1. jump rope
2. push ups
3. jumping jacks
4. jump squats
5. mountain climbers
6. pull ups
7. burpees
8. front/back lunge switching legs
9. high knees
10. hip rolls (I think you call it a butt lift or reverse
crunch)
11.butt kicks
12.crunches
13.jump rope
14.hanging knee raises
15.jumping jacks

I was sweating like a pig when I was done;)

This sounds yummy :)

Hi Zu and Freddy,

2nd challenge day today !!! so hard the S&M Workout !!
Im verry happy to do it until the end without problem !

Your diet look like mine, thanks for news recipies !!

I give you my recipie about my lunch time:
- salad with corail lentils and quinoa, tomatoes and “violon” zukini, grilled sesam and pumpkin seeds, olive and colza oil, balsamique vinegar, pepper ( no salt for me ;) )and basil ! Delicious !

See you soon !

I like your workout and your enthusuazm to involve more people. what is your expextation from this workouts yourself? What was your first sport you were involved wen you were child?

That recipe looks delicious! I’m so excited and thankful that you guys are sharing your diet with us in such a detailed way. It really gives us an idea of what our eating habits should be like to stay in shape. Thank you!
I’m totally following along on your 2 month SUS challenge..I love challenges! I’m just wondering what exactly the challenge is though..is it working out everyday for 2 months? or working out at least 5 times a week or something like that?

Hi Zuzana,

Between which meal do you do your workouts?

Hi zuzana I follow you for a long time and enjoy your workout and your diet but would like to know ,what are you eat for snack

Thank you for sharing your diet with us,it will be very helpfull, just one question though… what do you have for snacks?? more fruit?? Nuts??

Zuzana,

Will you ever become a personal trainer?

Hi Zuzana,

That recipe is a bit similar to the one I make except I add onions for flavor and chicken for more protein. Whole wheat pasta is good, too. Also, try adding more protein to your diet. I lost a lot of muscle definition and strength when I went vegetarian for just a couple of weeks. Anyways, I just finished my version of the 18min S&M workout by doing it in 12min for two rounds instead, because I had just finished an hour of legs. Shower time!

Hi! Thanks for a asome website both of you! I got my Gymboss yesterday and I am so happy for it.

/Anna

if you are allergic to mushrooms can you just not use them…or are they required?

curious to know what time of day you do your workout. thanks!

This is exciting! Are you actually going to post your full meals and amounts, or just what you’ve put in this post. It would be awesome if you put exactly what your eating and the amounts. I know it will differ from person to person for amounts, but it’s still a great way of seeing how you eat on a regular basis. Thank you for all you guys do, I missed your workouts while you were on vacation, but glad to see you guys had a great time.

Thank you for posting your workout also, your awesome!!

Sounds delicious! I can’t follow your new diet exactly because I like to have bread and peanut butter or yogurt, oats and nuts with my fruit in the morning when I need a bigger meal. I love lunch salads, I add beans, cheese, nuts, fish or chicken to salad and eat with bread. I also love to make a big batch of a grain or pasta salad like couscous with veggies or your tuna pasta with cranberry recipe :)

I have been having such good results with your old way of eating, so thanks for all of the tips! 5-6 small portions a day is the way to go for me, I love it!

Do you guys have jobs or does bodyrock.tv support you? I hope you make ad revenue from the site because it’s so awesome and the information is fantastic!

Hi Zuzana ! :)
I’d like to know what do you mean with “Snack” ? What does a Snack include and what amount ? :)

hi to every one!!!!

can i make a suggestion? if you want to start your diet in a good way you have to make sure that the right food is in the refrigerator like: only protein-chicken(without the skin and not fried\), fish,vegatables, fruits, all these in the first month and on the second month you can add brown rice, whole wheat (pasta, bread) no white suger, no coffee, cola, only water, tea. is is important to eat your body needs it to burn fat good, do’nt strave your self you wo’nt lose fat, only water and your body will use the energy in your muscles and that affects your metabolism and slow it and you find it hard to lose weight. make sure that at home you always have the right food and drinks, prepare food for work and what you drink, doday there are many good and delicios food that you can lose weight and keep your energy levels high and your muscles are not effected. remember the key is to eat but to eat right!

Hi Zuzana…I’m so glad you guys are back!! :)
I have 2 questions. I want to know what kind of snack do you usually eat? And also, is this a vegeterian diet?? Tnks ;) xoxo

It looks so tasty…mmm^^ hey, i can’t wait to see ur “snack” portions :> i’m curious what it will be for snack. :) Oh…and it’s interesing that Dinner seems to be the biggest meal You eat on day. is’t it?

Hi Zuzanna, I would like to know what can we eat at the snack time. Thank you guys for this extremely useful web.

Where do you get protein from Zuzana?

I love drunk Zuzana! =D

hi you two , great recipe , but wheres the protein..???, I could add chicken to it I suppose

Looks really yummy!! only think i like to add is that i think you should use fuld grain pasta much more healthy then that pasta you use ;)

just my 2 cent. :)

Love you guys

I am very excited to be following you with your new diet and exercise plan. I go to the gym for cardio and weight training 3-4 times a week, so on the days I am not at the gym, I will be doing the workouts that you do on here.

Are there certain areas in your diet you are focusing on also, like protein?

Have a great day! :)

Are all recipes going to be vegetarian from now on? I was hoping for some meat thinking Freddie wasn’t a vegetarian yet.

hey zuzana and frederick,

where do you get your recipes?

and i think that your having trouble chopping your vegetables is because the knife that you are using is too small. the knife that you were using looked like a fillet knife, but i’ not sure. My dad and i ALWAYS cook and using a knife with a bigger knife is a lot easier, i mean that’s the knifes purpose anyways :) and remember to always keep your fingers curled in when you are chopping ;P

thanks for this recipe though,

d.

Mmm I love pasta! This sounds amazing! Good luck with your new diet plan :)

Hi,

Could you do a video and show what you might eat in a whole day. This might give more perspective on portion size and what exactly you eat to get the body you have.

Thanks,
Nike

I love you guys! Thanks for showing us exactly what you will be eating and when during the day for the next two months!! That will be very helpful!!

Looks absolutely delicious and easy. Making it this weekend!

Hi Zuzana and Frederick.
Thank you for sharing your recepie.
What kind of wine are you drinking? Is it a sweet, white wine?

Hi, great videos!
What kind of things would you eat for snacks?

ZUZANA,

I am beginning to really trust what you say. When you say something is good, it is! This recipe was so tasty, easy, and healthy. My meat-eater boyfriend even went back for seconds. It is fun trying new things that are good. I also really liked the quinoa Indian chicken recipe!

And for that matter, when you say workout is going to be hard it is. You give great tips on proper form and getting the most out of the exercise. Again I trust what you say.

Healthy living and exercise, has always been a big part of my life. But, since I found your workouts and started doing them, about 3 weeks ago, I have never felt so fit! Plus, my sister-in-law (it really helps to have a partner in this challenge) and I are on day 12 of your NO SUGAR CHALLENGE, the benefits way out weigh the pain of giving up sugar. I feel sleek and fit into clothes I have not worn in a while.

I have told my whole big family about your site, and the gymboss is the birthday present of the summer for by brothers and sisters.

I am constantly impressed by how genuine you are! And how you and Frederick are a really nice couple and so down to earth. Even if you think you can, I don’t know if you could ever really imagine how much of a positive impact you are having on people’s lives and in so many ways. Your site; you and Frederick are gems! Your humor is so awesome! My heart is in this. Thank you so much!!!!! You are a paragon!

Most Sincerely,
Helen from Alaska

Dear Zuzana–

I’ve been following your website for a few months now- I am absolutely in love with your workouts, and recommend them to all my friends. I did one of your workouts with an ex-collegiate football player and he has refused to work out with me ever since – too intense, he says!

Since you’ve been sharing lots of recipes with us, I thought I’d share my favorite healthy summer snack with you: http://www.handletheheat.com/2010/04/one-ingredient-ice-cream.html. I had no idea bananas could be so yummy until I stumbled upon this recipe. Thought you guys would like it since it you were so addicted to gelato in Europe- it’s a very similar texture.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Ashley

hello guys,, what sup?
thank for everything you done so far..
i liked this dinner, but i added 1/2 of fresh shrimp to my pasta and it was really amazing
Another comment **most of my comment were not posted or deleted by you guy,

incredible recipe! I love all the ingredients so I will do it soon!
Zuzana and Frederick you could make a video like you did a long time ago, showing your meals for a day, like how much fruit do you eat for breakfast, the portion size of salad on the lunch because I imagine that should not be too small, and some example of snacks :)
it would be nice!!!!!

Hey there Zuzana and Frederick!

I just wanted to let you know that I follow your videos for quite a time yet and I do enjoy them very much! =) It’s pretty interesting to me what you’re doing… maybe because I share the same ideals and lifestyle. I really like to keep myself in shape and do something for my healthiness although I never had any problems with my body yet… even if I don’t do any real sports and go along with eating fast food I don’t loose my shape. I don’t know why it’s like that but I think it’s for some genetical reason *grins*

I really like the recipe though I’ve not tried it myself yet. But already the imagination of it is great and makes my mouth watering ;) I’ll definately go for it and let you know about my experience and opinion on that.

Keep up the great work!
Bye bye.

how much protein to you eat in a day? doesn’t seem ike enough.. here is an article to help you out.. http://www.projectswole.com/diet/how-much-protein-should-i-eat-in-a-day/

what is snack #1 #2?

Hi Zuzana.

I´m new in your website and I will start to do “Beginners Routine” the next week.

But I have a question: Will you show us what do you eat at 10:30am and at 4:30pm?

PS: Sorry if I don´t xpress in english (I´m from Spain).

Do you know that eating fruits on empty stomach is bad for you because of the acidic components

I just wanted to say thanks for starting to keep us updated with your meals. I’m so motivated with my workouts but always struggle with my diet. I’m going to follow you in this aspect as well because clearly you guys know what works :) thanks again!

I’d like to know it too. :) Pls answer. :)

HI ZUSANA AND FREDDY,

WELL I’VE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU GUYS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW,
I GO TO THE GYM ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION, THERE ARE LOTS OF PROTEIN SHAKES, AND OTHER DIET SUPPLEMENTS OUT THERE… WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THEM?

DO YOU TAKE ANY OF THEM?

PLEASE PLEASE! I WANT TO KNOW YOUR OPINON :)

THANKS!

ZUSSY!

I finally found a pasta that’s good for me. Love your cooking Zuzanna.

Hey Zuzana~

I have a tip for cutting peppers! After you cut them open and get the center and seeds out, cut them into slices from the inside of the pepper… this way, you don’t have to worry about the knife slipping on the shiny outside skin. The knife actually grips to the inside cells of the pepper for a cleaner cut.

Thanks for all the great work-outs & recipes!
Kristen =^.^=

Hi Zuzana.
I want to by a new workout mat, but I don’t know how thick it should be. when it is comfortably ? I don’t know if you understand want I mean, because my English is bad. From the mat not the length and the wide, I mean the thick of it. hope you can help me, thank you :)

Hi Zuzana, thanks for the new recipe. By the way, you looked a little buzzed on the video. ;)

Hi Zuzana,
I have the same question as someone with nick beachtime :)

Nikol, Czech Republic

btw.: I´m going to follow your diet plan….:)

Hello!
We welcome Fred and Zuzana, bravo for everything that divides us. A hundred times a day to visit your website, simply love you both, you are my inspiracija.Zuzana have similar body structure as you hope that as soon as possible so tight you look like you.

I am happy to share the food, just wanted you to share the feed that you consume in a day, for just my luck this message appeared, now that I start another challenge with food,

Feeding the question I have is,
the milk and yogurt are healthy, protein consumption for two or three a day,
do you think about this.

thanks greetings

Thats awesome me and my best friend are doing the 30 day no sugar challenge starting tommorow, I think it will be great.
And I think I will make this too it looks so yummy :D.

Zuzana, I know I’m not the first one to tell you this, but you should make workout DVDs for people to buy. But even better, you should host your own boot camp! Fatties like me need to be forced into strenuous exercise! Thank you for being so special!

Hi guys!
Thank you so much for your website. I’ve been following your work outs and diet tips for the last 3 weeks. I am not trying to loose much wait but rather to get more muscles and burn a little fat on my stomach (so i can c all those hard worked muscles :) i noticed the change after first 2 weeks, so are the others. It’s amazing i should say! i was professional sportsman for 12 years at the age of 17 i got a back injury and since then was trying to work out on a regular basis but it was very painful and hard, because regular exercises gave too much pressure to the spine. then i found your site and gave it a try. My back doesn’t hurt no more and i feel lots of energy. Thank you so much guys and keep your great work up!!

When shopping in Italy you bought a bra, what company is it? I would like to get one. Thanks

The 30 day no sugar challenge is one of the best things I think I’ve ever done for my diet. After my 30 days was over, I figured, why go back? I never crave sugar any more. So tomorrow I will successfully have gone 2 full months without refined sugars or junk food. Just remember that the first week or so is the hardest. Once you get past that, you’ll feel great and the rest will be easy ^.^

Heya,

I was just going to comment, I know that a lot of your recipes you tend to chop or even puree your vegetables. The only thing with that is…the more you break down the vegetable, the less nutrients you are taking in.

I would try to eat more whole vegetables or just bigger pieces so that you are really biting into a full blast of nutrients and vitamins.

Thanks!

This recipe looks amazing. I’m going to try it tomorrow!

Dee
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Yum Yum Yum!!!

I saw a couple other ask this, but could you give us a bit of an example of what you have for snacks?

Also, I was curious as to how you plan your eating and your exercise. Like, do you wake up, eat, wait a few hours and then exercise?

Hi! thanks for all you are posting on your website :) I just want to ask for your opinion on one think – fasting… not the long-term fasting, but just a couple of days only on water – one or two… do you think it is healthy and that it might be beneficial, or not? thanks, greetings from the ČR :)
Marcela

Hi Zuzana
I’m come from Taiwan.
May I ask you a feminine private question?

「When you will be very hungry before menstruation thing?」
I was so!
If you are, how would you solve this problem?
Or, you can give me a suggestion?
Thank you~^^

what do you have for snacks? Can you please include portions sizes, tell us EXACTLY what you eat :)

So that’s what you both will eat for 2 months straight?? I reallyy want to try your diets, and I do try, but most of the times I dont make it through. I don’t think I can eat just fruit for breakfast and a salad for lunch every day… D: I want to try to lose maybe 10 more pounds. Then I’ll be fine =)

Hi Zuzana,
Could you give an example of what you are eating for snack
? It would help me a lot.
Thanks

Hi Zussy – we don’t take any “fitness” or “diet” supplements what so ever. We try to get what we need from our diet of mostly fresh foods. Interestingly enough I was just reading through a recent copy of People magazine and buried in the back was a legal announcement that a certain supplement company was settling a multi-million dollar law suit for shady business practices and making completely unfounded and misleading claims about it’s products. These products are unregulated – and we have read about people damaging their livers as well as other vital organs by taking these pills and powders. Of course it is completely your call, but we always suggest that people save their money (these miracle pills are very expensive) and spend it on real food or save it up and travel :) We have turned down multiple sponsorship offers from these types of companies for the very same reasons. I hope this helps!

Hi – we tend to like dry white’s – we both need to learn a little bit more about selecting wines – anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Dianne, I eat veggie when I am at home and I have meat if I feel like it when we are eating out. That’s whats working for me right now. You can always add some meat to these recipes I think…

Hi – Zuzi bought this outfit at Guess.

you can sub in something else :)

Hi Guys…..
hey Zuzana regarding your chopping skills i can recomend before you can take any type of course you can alway go to youtube and find any type of tutorials… thats how i find you guys… and im very happy :)…. also my make up tip are from youtube….

hope it help :)

xoxoxoxoxo

Hi Zuzana & Freddy,
Thanks for the recipe, can’t wait to try it. Looks yummy. I’ve been reading alot on running ,training and diet. This recipe falls right under easy to prepare,shop for and healthy. Thanks again. Loved the videos in Italy and can’t wait for Spain. It was fantastic!
Minnie V. In NY :)

We are planning on 6x per week.

Hi Nancy – the video is there now :)

This looks really delicious, I LOVE portobello mushrooms! Thanks for sharing!

I made this recipe last nite while my husband was working (he’s not a fan of mushrooms) lol but I am. It was fantastic! I even switched the peppers out with tomatoes and added some peas as well. Really enjoying the recipes, keep them coming.

THIS looks so fantastic with the portobello mushrooms and peppers! I plan to try this with brocolli or cauliflower since my husband is not fond of peppers. Thank you so much Zuzana!

I am not a big fan of mushrooms but I will try this. it looks delicious.

BTW, if you want advice on how to cut, I will be more than happy to give you some. Always keep your knife sharp, it is a lot easier and safe to have it sharp. It sounds strange but it is true.

So I just wanted to ask you how you feel about whole wheat pasta or rice pasta. I have been trying to avoid enriched flour products and replace them with whole wheat products which also have a lower glycemic index, so they keep you feeling full for longer. I am also trying not to be obsessive even though I just sounded like it. :)

Also I wanted to share my morning (or lunchtime) smoothie recipe with you. I put into the blender:
-1 banana (or a half depending on how hungry I am)[105 cals for 1 banana]
-a handful of fruit like blueberries or strawberries. [70 cals /cup]
-1 or 2 leaves of fresh kale (handful of spinach, chard or any other leafy green will work here) [34 cals for 1 c. kale]
-1/4 cup of raw oatmeal [75 calories - 1/4 c.]
-1 TBS almond butter [95 calories/TBS]
-1 TBS flax seed [48 per TBS]
-1 shake of cinnamon (or to taste)[17 calories/tsp]
-fill blender half way with orange juice. [120 for 8 oz]
BLEND

Makes one big cup, and is 564 calories if you do the biggest portions listed here, but you can always do less than these amounts to cut down. I figured someone would want to know the calories so I listed them here, but I don’t really count calories, I just figure all this stuff is healthy and it is probably the biggest meal I have for the day. I eat raisin bran with my coffee, and a normal dinner, fish and veggies or something like that. Anyway,I love a smoothie, and you can also share it with someone and cut all the cals in half!

Thanks for everything Zuzana! I hope someone out there enjoys my smoothie! Have a great one!

hey zuzana! quick tip for peeling garlic: it goes way faster if you cover the clove with your knife and give it a swift hit with the heel of your hand. the peel will pretty much fall off, and smashing the garlic will release more flavor. Also! Garlic presses are a huge time saver I love them!

Great recipe, thanks!

You do not use any supplements? I eat around the same thing you do, according to your diet list on this page, and I found that I am not getting near enough protein in my diet. I am considering a whey protein supplement to boost my protein for health purposes and for muscle recovery. I have a lot of fat to lose, what do you suggest?

Hi zuana, this looks great i will try this but without the vinager which i don’t like. tips you wanted, when using a knife and it looks like you are using a small french knife, hold the knife in your right hand if your a rightie and hold it near closet to the blade handle DON’T put your pointer finger ( the finger after your thumb ) on top of the blade , instead wrap it around with the blade in between holden the handle , and with your left hand keep your fingers holding the veggies or what your cutting with your four fingers flat against the blade so your fingers are altogether and you put the tip of the blade on the cutting board, then just cut your piece and let it just slide against your fingers that are flat almost like you have a fist. maybe you can look this up on youtube how to use hold a french knife, good luck your workout are great too. i love tomatoes patricia. youtube subsciber prettysam.

I am going to try this recipe, Thanks for sharing !

HI FREDDY,

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REPLY, IT SURE DID HELP A LOT…

COME TO CHICAGO… :D
I’LL GIVE YOU GUYS SOME CITY TOUR XD

Great recipe!, especially for students like myself who are just learning how to cook :) you definitely won’t go hungry with this meal, and the cost of the ingredients is relatively cheap!

It is so delicious. I did it today and it’s so easy! I saved some for tomorrow’s lunch :P

This meal looks so good, I love portobello mushrooms!! Im going to try and follow the basic structure of your diet plan, except for breakfast Ill have the go bananas recipe of yours. Generally for snacks I eat healthy snack bars because I work all day, but I will definitely be eating salads for lunch, and on my days off I like to mix it up with tortillas and pita bread. Cant wait to see what other recipes you share!!

I’m trying to follow your plan, but am confused about protein. Aren’t we supposed to have protein with every meal? Please help!! I got the fruit and veggies down, but I’m trying to plan my meals and at a loss as to how you get in your protein. Thanks guys! You rock! LOVE your workout! I’ve been doing them from a while and am getting results, but I need to get the diet thing down to kick it up! :) My wedding anniversary is just around the corner so, it would be awesome if you could answer this question. THANKS!!

I cooked this last night for my boyfriend and my self… it was amazing.. I think maybe next time to add a little protein I will add some home roasted chestnuts as I think it will go well.

Like I said in my last post I cooked this last night but I think next time I will add some roast chestnuts.. just a few for some good fats and protein. You can get bags of them on the UK supermarkets.

To cook just cut little crosses into them and stick them on a baking tray into a hot oven about 220c for 20-30 min they will crack so you can then peel them. They taste fab hot fresh from them oven or you can add them to cooking. They go well with cabbage,sprouts and much more. But I am defo gonna give it ago with this meal.

I want to share a recipe of one of my favorite snacks. It’s super easy to make and super easy to get hooked on :-)

Raw Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies

1 cup raw hazelnuts
1/2 cup raw almonds
1 to 1 1/2 cups (medjool) dates, pitted
1/2 cup almond butter
4 tbsp organic cocoa powder
3 tbsp shredded coconut

Place hazelnuts and almonds into food processor fitted with the “S” blade and process until finely ground. Add the pitted dates, raw almond butter, shredded coconut and cocoa powder and process until completely mixed. You can add more or less cocoa powder depending on how rich you would like the brownies. I like to put the batter into a small bag and press it evenly out and then cut it into squares. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to a week.

I got this recipe of the internet but I think it’s in the recipe book, The Whole Life Nutrition Cookbook: Whole Foods Recipes for Personal and Planetary Health.

There is actually protein in nuts. I’m not sure how much protein there is in each nut.

LOL….I actually thought I was commenting under a different post (toast with apples and pecans). Not a lot of protein in this dish, still you get some….depending on how much cheese you eat with it :-)

lol….your funny. I get really relaxed when I have any acholic beverages. and i laugh alot. this looks really good. i will try this.

Made this tonight, it’s great!

I made this last night except I used porchini mushrooms ’cause they didn’t have Portobellos available in my market.it was soooo good. Thanks Zusana & keep the recipes coming. PS You were hilarious drinking wine while cooking!

I tasted today! was amazing! i totally love it!

Oh my gosh, when youre going to have kitchen again????

I made this last night for me and my husband. I subbed tomatoes for the bell peppers, and GIRL this was delicious. I too had the same euphoric experience after the first bite. I also cranked up the garlic. This was perfect and will definitely be a repeat. My husband, an officer in the USMC and a big meat-eater, loved it! Keep posting!

I just finished eating this dish and OMG…it is delicious. I was never a fan of green bell pepper, but it is so yummy cooking it like this. Thank you very much for sharing.

It was SOOO good!! It’s now one of my favorite foods! Thank you!! Please put more recipes up.

Just finished this delicious dish!! It was sooooo yummy!! I was a little skeptical at first since there was no meat in the dish…..I almost sauteed some chicken with it but I didn’t. My husband and I practically licked our plates clean. Thanks!
