The no nonsense, no BS Review

Are you looking for a Easy Veggie Meal Plans review?

I’m going to cut through most of the stuff you may have read so far….

FACT IS: It is nearly impossible to get an unbiased review online these days as the only thing people are interested in is trying to get you to buy the product so they make some commissions…

I can’t be bothered with trying to sell, sell, sell all the time so I’m just going to lay it out on the table for you….

I’m not sure if you know this but most of the top strength and conditioning coaches and several very successful fitness professionals are vegetarian, or nearly 90% vegetarian. Craig Ballantyne, Kardena’s co-sponsor on this product, himself has gone nearly 100% vegetarian. The reason is simple, get more vegetables in to your diet and you’ll feel better and look better.

Before I look to buy any product I always ask myself what the persons track record has been like in the past….

What was Kardena’s other product? As far as I can tell she doesn’t have any. BUT, fortunately she teamed up with a guy who does. And that is what makes this product better than it would normally be. Is it a good product?

The answer is definitely yes but its not the be all and end all product for weight loss and fitness.

To be honest it was common information . . .

IF your a seasoned, small pun here, vegetarian.

What impressed me was the whole ease of the recipes…

Kudo’s to Kardena and Craig for creating a simple easy to follow a long way to cook and eat better. The way in which she writes makes it very easy to follow and easy to implement….

So, should you invest in Easy Veggie Plans a question that I’m sure is on your mind? Only if your going to use it. Which means if you hate cooking. I would not buy this product. If you hate the idea of getting more vegetables in to your diet. I would not buy this product.

First off let me say I have made several of her recipes and most of them are really good. Hell I didn’t even know about Tempeh, fermented soy beans and a healthier way to eat soy, until Kardena’s ebook.

The aim of Easy Veggie Meal Plans is to help provide you with the recipes and to take the guess work out of how much, when and how many calories are in that…

If you follow what they say, use the recipes and use Craig’s workouts: Turbulence Training Big 5 Fat Loss Exercise Circuit, the Female Body Scuplting Program and occasionally throw in six minute abs that they provide then their is absolutely no way you can not lose weight very quickly. But, you have to use it. Don’t buy it and let it grow dust on your hard drive.

Its not unrealistic to lose 10-20lbs of fat in eight weeks if you follow and do what Kardena and Craig say.

When I say lose 10-20lbs is not unrealistic I mean it. You can do it using this product but again you have to do the workouts and make the recipes in the portion size that she says to make them in. Don’t worry its plenty of food. The foods are super healthy so you’ll actually eat less food.

Think of it this way. If you put cheap gas in your car doesn’t your car run like crap? Not as soon as you pull out of the gas station maybe but eventually it will. Its the same with your diet. Start to eat these vegetable based recipes and really fast you’ll eat less and feel better.

Kick in some workouts and you’ve got the blue print for fast fat loss.

Now I have no idea how much weight you could lose or even guarantee that you will because some people will buy this product and try it for a week or two and then stop. This will work but you have to do it more than a day or two. You have to make a commitment to change. Change not only how much you eat but WHAT you eat. Make a commitment to move more. Increase the intensity of your workouts. Craig’s workouts are not for the weak and timid. Listen folks even if you made only a couple of Kardena’s recipes a week but did Craig’s workouts you’ll certainly get more fit. You may not lose any “scale” weight but you’ll get stronger and add some serious muscle to your frame. This is super important because your metabolism is determined by how much muscle you have on your body.

HERE IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU ORDER EASY VEGGIE MEAL PLANS:

1. You get 90 days of recipes, its actually 72, because one day a week Kardena suggest you eat nothing but raw vegetables and fruits to give your body a chance to “take a break from digesting dense foods”. She points out that your body uses approximately 75% of its energy digesting foods. WOW! That’s a lot of energy. Can you imagine how much energy you would have if your body didn’t have to work so hard to digest or process the foods that you eat? Again with the car analogy, if you never tuned up your car how do you think it would run? That’s exactly how your body operates.

With the deluxe version you also get:

2. 101 Amazing Vegan Recipes,

3. The Lazy Man’s Guide to Vegetarian Eating,

4. Turbulence Training Female Body Sculpting Four Week Program,

5. Turbulence Training Big 5 Circuit Workout Four Week Program,

6. Turbulence Training Six Minute Abs Program.

That’s a lot of information and products to help you.

If your willing to put in some effort in order to lose weight and get fit, if your ready to make a promise to yourself that this is truly the year then I encourage you to buy this product.

There is no doubt the recipes, workouts and instruction will help you but only if your willing to put in the effort to make a real honest effort and commitment.

Here’s a killer recipe that I got with TheTripleThreatMuscle.com

It comes with a muscle building/athletic program that is very effective at adding muscle to your frame.

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup of onion, chopped
½ cup of carrot. Chopped
½ cup celery, chopped
3 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 cup red lentils
3 cups veg stock
1 can diced tomatoes
Hot pepper flakes
1 can chick peas drained and rinsed
1 cup quinoa (cooked)
Handful fresh cilantro, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

This is in between a soup and a stew and is great both ways. Alter it to make it as spicy or as mild as you like. Heat the oil in a pan and add the onions, carrots and celery. Sauté until tender, about 10-15 mins. Add fresh garlic, ginger and curry and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lentils, stock, tomatoes and hot pepper flakes. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer until lentils are tneder, about 15 minutes. Add chickpeas and quinoa and warm up, about 10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste, top with cilantro and serve.

A Super Healthy Granola

Here’s another “Super Easy” and healthy recipe from Kardena. Its Kardena’s granola and it has nothing but good healthy foods in it. If you don’t have a dehydrator you can bake it in your oven.

Here’s the recipe with accompanying video.

For Women:
1/3 cup raw organic sunflower seeds, soaked in water for at least 12 hours, remember to drain the water,
1/2 cup raspberries,
1/2 tbsp brown flax seeds (soaked, the gelatinous consistency will help everything stick together),
2 tbsp raisins,
1/3 tsp of ideally alcohol-free vanilla,
1/3 tsp cinnamon,
1/2 tbsp shredded coconut,
Dash of salt (mineral, mountain, Himalayan, or sea salt),
1 tsp agave nectar (or you can also you use dates, raisins, or stevia).

Mix all ingredients in your food processor until chunky like granola.

If you have a dehydrator, grab your tray and spread the granola on the tray. Dehydrate for about 12 hours. It will dry in clusters, then scrape it off with a spatula and put it in a bag, seal it up and it will store for up to two weeks or longer.

For Men:

2/3 Cup of soaked sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp of soaked flax seeds
1/4 Cup of raisins
1/3 tsp of alcohol free vanilla
1/3 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp. Shredded Coconut (unsweetened)
Dash of salt
2 tsp of agave nectar
Dash Stevia
1/2 Cup of raspberries (fresh or frozen)

That’s it. Super easy and super healthy.

This is what Kardena adds to this smoothie:

1/2 cup organic blueberries (frozen or fresh),
4 oz almond milk or water,
2 Teaspoon of whole flax seeds (great source of essentials fats and fiber),
2 Tsp of almond butter,
2 Tbsp of protein powder (rice protein is great, but you can also use hemp, or pea protein),
Dash of cinnamon (good for restoring pancreas and increasing circulation),
Dash of cayenne pepper (helps increase metabolism and increases the body’s ability to carry oxygen),
1 Tbsp of green powder or 1-2 cups fresh spinach,
A dash of sweetener (dates, raisins or stevia make great choices),

Blend until smooth and your ready to start your day with lots of energy.

Afternoon smoothie pick me up

If you have a blender this is an easy, healthy and quick smoothie drink you can mix up when you want a drink that’s cool and refreshing.

- 1 apple
- 1/4″ ginger
- ice
- water
- 4 leaves of mint
- a dash of cayenne pepper.

Blend it up, drink it up and you’ll quickly feel the energy.

You can peel the skin off the apple if you want or you can leave it on. If you don’t like spicy you can eliminate the cayenne. Don’t eliminate the ginger. The ginger adds that little something.

Enjoy. Try it and tell me what you think.
