Outsmart Stubborn Fat!

Outsmart 20 Pounds of Stubborn Fat by Boosting Fat Burning Enzymes
Dr Serrano and Scott,
I want to lose 20 pounds of body fat and get rid of the stubborn fat that always seems to cling to my abs even when I lose a lot of body weight.  The nutrition plan needs to be simple so I can follow it for a while.  What type of training should I do to improve my core definition? 
~Tom in Madison, Wisconsin    

Tom-
You must apply the right weight training, interval and nutrition plan to fit your specific needs for 8-12 weeks to reach peak levels of fat burning.  You can boost your fat burning enzyme levels significantly by consuming grass fed beef, lamb, wild caught fish and other organic protein sources on a daily basis...

Senegalese Grilled Chicken
Yassa Poulet
(Senegalese Grilled Chicken) 
Author: Russ Crandall

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 1 hour plus 4 hour marinade 
(Gluten Free, Paleo, Primal, Whole30) 
 
Ingredients:    
  • 2-3 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks (and thighs if desired)
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges 
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • juice of 2 lemons (1/4 cup)
  • zest of 1 lemon (1 tbsp)
  • 4 onions, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, diced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice
     
Directions:  
  1. Combine all of the marinade ingredients (olive oil thru allspice) and place them in a resealable plastic bag with the chicken. Marinate in the fridge for at least four hours but up to overnight, shifting the bag contents occasionally.
  2. After four hours, remove the chicken pieces from the bag and set aside. Pour out and
    discard most of the liquid from the bag, and pull out the bay leaves.
  3. In a skillet, add the remaining marinade from the bag and sauté over low heat until the onions are caramelized, about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so.
  4. While the onions are caramelizing, cook the chicken. Option 1: Set up your grill for indirect grilling (one side hot, the other side cool). Place the chicken on the hot side of the grill for 5 minutes, then switch it to the cool side of the grill until cooked through, about 30 more minutes. Option 2: Bake the chicken in the oven on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack, at 400F for 35-40 minutes, until its juices run clear.
  5. Serve the chicken over the caramelized onions and with lime wedges. This dish is often served with plain white rice, but cauliflower rice will definitely do the trick.

  • All orders must weigh at least 7 pounds in order to ship, to ensure everything stays frozen during transit.
  • $75 minimum purchase requirement, since we have built the cost of shipping into the price of each product.
  • You will never be charged extra for shipping.
  • There is a $7.50 handling fee upon checkout.
  • The South Carolina Chicken Bundles, BBQ Sauce, produce and cookbooks ship from separate locations, so they are not included in the 7 lb weight minimum.  The shopping cart will keep track and remind you if your order is under the 7 lb limit.
