4th of July Grilled Cheese Sandwich (FM)
Recipes | July 01, 2017
*Yields 1 Portion
Ingredients:
2 slices Ezekiel bread
Aged sheep cheese, very thinly sliced
A few blueberries
Couple strawberries, sliced
1 tbsp butter
*I use the skillet when making just one portion for myself, but if I was to make sandwiches for more people I would use toaster and the broiler in the oven to melt the cheese.
Instructions:
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet and add the slices of bread.
- Brown the bread lightly on one side and then flip. Add the thinly sliced cheese (use as much cheese as you want) on top of each bread slice, and cover the skillet with lid to make the cheese melt. Lower the heat so you don’t burn the bread while the cheese is melting.
- When the cheese on top is melted, move the bread onto a plate, add the blueberries and slices of strawberries on top of the melted cheese of one of the slices and then cover with the other slice, cheesy side down.
- Cut across in half, stack the halves on top of each other, and proudly stick the American flag on top. Serve immediately while still warm.

Hi everybody!
I made this yesterday for the christmas party at our kindergarden, because I didn’t want to bring “the usual stuff” with me (knowing that there would be enough gingerbread and stollen and things like that). And guess what was gone first? So delicious!
And as I have enough leftovers, I’m going to make one for me for lunch tomorrow 🙂
Thanks, Zuzka!

Could you add ham or turkey to it and still have a FM?

John, I’ll jump in here and say, “yes you can add protein and still have a free meal”, just in case your question gets lost.
Your workout-earned meals are based on eating higher carb meals – the kind of carbs that you’d get from grains or something like bananas or other high-sugar, lower fiber fruits.
The idea is that right after a workout your muscles are in a repair state, so they will immediately absorb the sugar/glucose from those carbs and use it for repairing themselves. When your muscles are not in that after-workout repair state, your body typically can’t use that extra sugar, so it gets stored (in fat cells) instead of burned.
Hope that make sense!
all the best,

Jesamine,
Hello.. Well this is good stuff also. Learning so much now. How should I eat before a meal? A FM?

Hi John, this depends on the time of day that you do your workout and how you feel before your workout. This will be a matter of learning to read the signals of your body, rather than thinking, “I have to eat before I work out”.
If you feel hungry before you work out, then you might want to eat light in order to give you ballast so that you don’t get dizzy or nauseous. I’d say eat a small, high-protein snack 15-30 mins before you work out: Celery with nut butter, boiled eggs, some good quality deli meat – anything like that. What and how much you eat will also depend on what workout you’re doing: working with weights versus pure cardio.
Keep in mind this just gives you some ballast. Your workout actually sets your metabolism for the rest of the day, meaning you’re setting yourself up to burn throughout the day. You do not burn off what you just ate.
You can always google: low-carb/paleo/primal pre-workout foods. That kind of search always narrows it down (assuming your’re following low-carb lifestyle)
Hope this helps!

So one silly question. If I start Keto I get constipated horribly. How can I avoid constipation on Keto?
