Olive Oil, Arugula & Prisciutto Pizza, Peak Fast

Tip of the Day: Olive Oil

Although Vegetable and Canola Oil may seem the same as Olive Oil, they aren't! Olive Oil has so many better health benefits for you. There have been studies to show that olive oil can protect against breast cancer and even heart disease (by controlling bad cholesterol levels-LDL-while raising the good levels-HDL). It's filled with good fats that your body needs. So, next time you have to choose which oil to cook your veggies in, you'll know which one to choose!
Healthy Recipe: Arugula & Prosciutto Pizza

306 calories a serving! This makes 6.

• 1 pound prepared pizza dough (recipe from earlier post)
  
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
• 2 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1 cup shredded fontina or part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups packed coarsely chopped arugula
• 1 cup chopped tomato

1. Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, prosciutto and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
4. Spread the onion mixture evenly over the crust and top with cheese. Bake until crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with arugula and tomato.

Exercise: Peak Fast

This is an awesome workout routine I found in Men's Health! It was used by NFL players, so you know it's got to work. It's made to shock your muscles by using exercises that work more than just one muscle at a time, and putting those exercises into supersets which will burn all that unwanted fat. It's meant give results in just 4 weeks! It's made for men, and even though men usually don't think they need workout routines (because they always know what to do =-)), I still wanted to post this just in case!
