Why People Are Skinny Fat (and How to Fix It)
Are you skinny fat? Here are the three things you must do to fix it . . .
Read MoreLet’s cut right to the chase. Everybody loves cake, right?
Right.
But as we all know, your favorite cake from your favorite bakery doesn’t exactly win awards in the “healthy diet“ department.
And especially not when you’re watching your macros.
Well, these cake recipes are here to the rescue.
Trying to cut back on sugar and calories?
Then skip the icing and reduce sweetness with Blood Orange Upside-Down Cake or Skinny Gingerbread Cupcakes with Cinnamon Glaze.
Looking to cram in as much protein as possible?
Then complement your daily dose of protein powder with Birthday Cake Protein Blondies, Protein Pop Tart Cakes, or High-Protein Cinnamon Cake Bars.
Have food sensitivities or allergies?
Give the Almond-Orange Flan a try if you’re lactose intolerant, or whip up the Flourless Lemon Poppyseed Breakfast Cake or Apple Chickpea Cake with Lemony Cream Cheese Frosting if you’re gluten free.
Just as concerned with your micros as you are with your macros?
Then sneak healthy nutrients into your sweets with Chocolate Beet Bundt Cake or the Kabocha Squash Spice Cake.
My point? You can have your cake and health goals, too.
Enjoy!
This lightly sweetened cake is great with coffee or tea in the afternoon. And with fresh orange slices decorating the top, it would be a shame to cover it up with extra sugar in the form of frosting.
Like other upside-down cakes, it has a caramel top instead. This one has the distinctive flavor of cardamom, and the cornmeal goes well with the mixture of olive oil and Greek yogurt, used in place of butter.

Even the frosting is practically sugar-free with cream cheese, Greek yogurt, more whey powder, and just enough stevia to sweeten it up.

Get the RecipeThis cake is for serious chocoholics. It replaces butter or oil with cacao butter, which can be bought as wafers or as big chunks that can be chopped up.
Either way, you’ll need to melt it in a double boiler – which is a fancy way of saying put a heat-resistant mixing bowl over a pot of boiling water.
With the steam trapped under the bottom of the bowl, it’ll provide a consistent, low heat to melt more delicate ingredients like chocolate or cacao butter.

Instead of following the package directions, all you need for awesome creamsicle flavor is Greek yogurt and orange juice.

Beets are often used as a natural food coloring for red velvet cake. If that’s what you’re going for here, replace a bit of the buttermilk with beet juice to add more color.

What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?
What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?
And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?
In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?
Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.
And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.
Well, I have good news.
All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.
You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.
