22 Minute Hard Corps Eating Plan

Tony Horton’s new 22 Minute Hard Corps program comes with an amazing library of total body conditioning, military-inspired workouts, and an amazing eating plan as well.  Since diet contributes about 70% - 80% to the results you will obtain, don’t take this part of the program lightly please. 

If you’ve done the 21 Day Fix, the portion-control containers are the same.  You can use them and of course take recipes and ideas from then. 

What’s different about 22 Minute Hard Corps is that this time the nutrition and fitness experts give us suggestions of when to have them  and for which meal. Such a helpful tool!! I'm so happy they added this feature because it was very helpful for me. I know you will appreciate it as well. 

The 22 Minute Hard Corps food list is similar to 21 day fix but with some differences. You'll find more recipes and meal examples! Super exciting!! 

Remember the 21 day fix came out about 2 years ago and it was created about 3 years ago. As a company we have learned a lot and made a lot of improvements based on customers' and coaches' feedback!! 

There are also some great prep-ahead suggestions, how to repurpose leftovers, and how to tweak things up if you plateau. Lots of fun new recipes... Hello Chimichurri!! Oh my! Yummy!! 

I’m so excited about this program and joining you on this journey. 

Now, I want to ask you for a huge favor! Do you know of any friend, coworker or family member who you think would love to do something like this too???? Let your coach know so we can get them started too. 

This is the link to apply. Our team support group is Open to everyone.

HELL WEEK - 22 MINUTE HARD CORPS

Let me tell you about Hell week!!!! It is a bonus week, week 9, of 22 minute hard corps!! With Tony Horron, this is his new program, just released on March 1st. I'm still in the test group and of course I agreed to take on the Challenge cause seriously, why not! 

So is it hard????  Yeah!! Get ready to get your butt kicked big time. But don't freak out. Hahaha it is an awesome challenge. It is a tough week. You'll feel some soreness again, you'll be hungry, you'll want to quit, you'll be a little tired and that is all ok!! Keep calm! You will survive!! Don't miss this opportunity to take your journey to the next level. 

I am on Day 5! Some days double resistance workouts, some days double cardio workouts plus a third core workout (which are shorter).  

I am pushing myself to do more and I've noticed a few things that have changed this week. 

1. I'm sore but it's a soreness that tells you things are changing but the kind that doesn't affect your range of motion and agility. Pretty cool. 

2. My legs are hard as rocks and My upper body is getting much stronger. 

My midsection body fat is going down like crazy and today finally I was able to do all the reps in the Core 2 video. When we started I was reaching 13-15, today I could do all 22 without losing proper form.

3. My name is now Hungry. I am hungry and thirsty all day long!! 

4. I'm having a hard time slowing down and resting because I feel soooo energized all day long. Thank god I do sleep like a rock. 

Overall I feel like Wonder Woman.... Wait maybe I am 😜 

Here we go! Can't wait to see what others accomplish with this program!!! ✌🏻️ #getsome

If you have the will…you will get results.

UPDATE!!!!!!! SNEAK PEEK OF MY RESULTS!!!

QUINOA! What is it? How do I eat it?

Quinoa is a nutritious, whole grain that can be used as a delicious side dish, pilaf or stuffing.  It blends perfectly well with salads, soups and stews.

It's Gluten Free, has a low glycemic index and provides all of the eight essential amino acids, creating a complete protein.  (Vegans best friend)

Quinoa is an ancient traditional grain grown at 12,000 feet above sea level.  It's classified by the National Academy of Sciences as one of the best sources of protein in the vegetable kingdom. 

Basic cooking instructions:
Rinse it very well until no bubbles form and water runs clear. 
Combine half cup Quinoa with 1 cup water or broth in a pot or rice cooker (I use rice cooker). Turn heat on low, cover and cook for 15 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes and fluff with fork and serve. 
Quinoa is cooked when each grain looks translucent and white germ is visible. Store cooked quinoa in tight container in refrigerator for 3-5 days.  no longer  yuk!

Now you can eat it as if it was rice, or sauté some garlic and veggies like zucchini, peppers and onions, and place on top of Quinoa (eat it hot). Warm up and place two eggs on top, splash of Sriracha, boom!! Breakfast of champs!

For salads, get creative! Here are some combination ideas. Let the cooked Quinoa cool first, then refrigerate.

Mix with chickpeas, chopped cucumbers, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onions, chopped black olives and season with olive oil, lime juice, salt, oregano, thyme and pepper.  Throw in some small pieces of feta cheese.  Opa!!

Mix with chopped green apple, cranberries, toasted almond slivers or walnuts, and shredded lettuce. season with olive oil, lime juice, few drops of agave.

You can add about a 1/4 cup of plain quinoa to any salad you would normally eat.  get creative and share your concoction with us.

You can also try these, both recipes from the T25 meal plan.  5 ingredients, less than 25 minutes to prepare.

Quinoa Patties
3/4 cup cooked Quinoa
1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
4 tsp flaxseed
1 large egg white
Sea salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and mix well.   Form two balls and press firmly with hands until they turn into patties.

Spray non stick skillet with nonstick cooking spray.  Place patties on skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side.  Remove from skillet and enjoy with a green salad.

Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad
Water
1/2 medium sweet potato, peeled, diced
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1/4 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 Tbsp chopped raw cashews.
Olive oil, lime juice, agave, salt and pepper to taste.

Steam sweet potato chunks for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Let cool.
Combine all ingredients and toss gently. 

Serve cold or warm.


How about a Breakfast Quinoa recipe that will get you on the right track for the rest of the day??? This one is taken from the P90X2 meal plan.

Breakfast Quinoa

1 cup Almond milk or skim milk
1 cup water
1 cup quinoa rinsed thoroughly
2 cups fresh berries
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped nuts
4 tsp honey or agave or maple syrup

Combine milk, water and quinoa in medium saucepan.  Bring to boil over high heat.
Reduce heat to medium low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until most liquid is absorbed.  Turn off heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
Stir in berries, vanilla, and cinnamon.  Serve to 4 bowls and top with nuts.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of sweetener over each serving.

Hope you enjoy these delicious and nutritious pieces of heaven! Take care of your body, we only get one!
