Sweet Potato Pancakes
I had this for breakfast this morning(along with fruit). I love these pancakes; they’re the perfect combination of complex carbs, protein and fats to refuel after an amazing workout and topped with all natural almond butter these will make your taste buds sing.
You will need:
- 1 small sweet potato,
- 2 organic free range eggs or 4 egg whites
- 1 tablespoon of coconut flour (you can sub this with any flour of your choice or even protein powder)
- Ground cinnamon and ground vanilla to taste
- A little bit of water
- Optional: stevia for extra sweetness
Prepare the sweet potato as you usually would (I like to steam or bake mine), then mash it up with a fork, add the remaining ingredients, mix well and cook in a non-stick pan with a little coconut oil on medium heat. Top with your topping of choice (highly recommend all natural almond butter) and enjoy. Have a lovely and healthy day guys.

How to Get AbsI get this question all the time: “I have some fat on my stomach that will not go away! I do tons of crunches and other ab exercises, but it doesn’t help. Do you know of any exercises that will help make it disappear?”
There is no such thing as spot-reduction in regard to fat loss. You cannot pick and choose where your body loses fat. It happens systematically all over and where it happens first and last is usually determined by genetics. The only way to lose the tummy is to lower your TOTAL body fat.You can do this by:
- Eating clean in a caloric deficit (not starvation dieting!)
- Getting enough sleep (7-8 hours)
- Drinking plenty of water (about a gallon a day)
- Doing cardio (the amount depends on each individual person)
- Lifting weights.
So no, there is no abdominal exercise (not even 100s of crunches!) that can whittle away belly fat specifically. It’s not easy for everyone and it takes time so be patient, work hard.. And don’t give up!

Demonstration on how a lot of girls probably achieve the beloved “thigh gap”.
Push your hips back, knees slightly apart. Tada, you have now given hundreds of girls a delusional hatred for their body amd made them think something is seriously wrong with them just because their thighs touch.

BIkers Against Child Abuse Helps Make Abused Children Feel Safe Again
“A biker’s power and intimidating image can even the playing field for a little kid who has been hurt. If the man who hurt this little girl calls or drives by, or even if she is just scared, another nightmare, the bikers will ride over and stand guard all night.
If she is afraid to go to school, they will take her and watch until she’s safely inside.
And if she has to testify against her abuser in court, they will go, too, walking with her to the witness stand and taking over the first row of seats.”
During one such testimony, a little boy sat on the stand, testifying against his abusive father, who sat less than 10 feet away.
“Why didn’t you say anything before now?” Asked the prosecutor.
“I was scared.” The little boy replied, honestly.
“Why aren’t you scared now, what changed?” The prosecutor watched the little boy closely as he pointed to the front row of seats in the court room.
“Because my friends are scarier than he is.”
