Missed me on Mello?

Want to Enjoy Easter, but stay on your Fitness Mission?

Easter Brunch or Dinner can feel just as special at home as they would at a restaurant with a little planning and prep.

Try these Dishes in the Kitchen:

1. DEVILED EGGS
An Easter classic. Great brunch side or appetizer.

Use hot or mild pepper sauce, try dill or a sweet pickle relish, use fat-dree mayo and add a sprinkle of fresh Chives for more flavor.

2. Not a Deviled eggs fan? Try SPINACH AND MUSHROOM QUICHE or one of my faves, a CALLALOO FRITTATA.

Ensure you use unsweetened Almond milk and a low fat cheese such as a part skim mozzarella.

3. VEGGIE SIDES

Take advantage of seasonal flavors and root vegetables to add colour nutritional value to your Easter table. Root vegetables include carrots, parsnips, beets, red onion and sweet potato.

4. CORIANDER AND LEMON CRUSTED SALMON with Asparagus Salad and Poached Egg

5. CARROT CAKE OR YOUR OWN VEGETARIAN EASTER BUN!

Use whole-wheat or spelt  flour (hulled, purer wheat), Unsweetened Almond milk, Cinnamon and Agave to sweeten instead of sugar.

If you aren’t Vegetarian, please also cook or bake with Olive oil or Vegetable oil, not Coconut oil. We will leave that debate for after Easter. 🙂

Have a Happy, Holy and Restful Easter.
Remember Balance is key.

TGIF! In the Spirit of Champs Week, 5 Ways to Get Kids Excited About Fitness!

by with No Comment Fit Happens with GabbyHealth & FitnessSportsWhat's Hot

… And Yes, those are my Active, Sporty Niecipoos with their Uncle Canibus!

Did You Miss Get Fit Tips with Gabby on MELLOFM88 ? Thanks HEART Foundation Jamaica and Partners for Sponsoring!

1. MAKE IT FUN
Try to incorporate what kids like into their fitness routine. If they love dancing, consider taking them to dance class, or if they like to splash around in water, take them to swimming lessons.

2. SET GOALS AND CELEBRATE ACHIEVEMENT
Make the goals realistic and achievable.
E.g. Completing a certain number of laps around the track. Give them something to work towards and provide a reward such as, a special outing or a small treat.

3. BE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL
Parents play a crucial role in shaping a child’s attitude towards fitness.
Parents should prioritize their own fitness and let their children see that. Show enthusiasm and commitment.
Go for a run together. This also strengthens your bond and creates memories.

4. ENCOURAGE VARIETY
Kids get bored easily, so try to keep them engaged and excited about fitness, Sometimes you may have to try new sports with them and develop their range of skills and interest.
Martial Arts is a good one that also encourages a different level of focus and discipline.

5. CREATE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
Offer praise, encouragement and guidance. Also be patient and understanding when they face challenges.
Teach them that perseverance and effort are just as important as success.

Watch ISSA Sports CHAMPS and let them be motivated!

Eat Well, Drink Well at DLE Cafe in Fairview Town Centre, Montego Bay!

by with No Comment Fit Happens with GabbyHealth & FitnessRestaurant Reviews & RatingsWhat's Hot

Had a quick pass through Montego Bay last Wednesday and I kept it healthy, finally getting to stop by DLE Cafe (Ig: @dlecafe)!

Check out a clip from my visit here:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C34-BseuSt1/?igsh=YnNhN2ljc3B4cmU0

As you enter, you will see a sign showing that basically Good Food takes Time. Definitely freshly made, cooked to order. So if hungry, call ahead. They have THE widest range of healthy options.

Quite a clean, cosy atmosphere with a handful of in and out diners. I observed that most persons picked up their orders and the staff were polite and professional.

I had the Bad Ass Black Bean Burger with their own signature dressing in a Sprouted Spelt Burger Bun (J$2000);
Baked Sweet Potato Fries that were air-fried and tossed in Cinnamon and Paprika (J$700);
Immune Booster Smoothie with Spinach, Kale, Celery, Lime/Lemon Juice, Ginger and Ginger (J$950)

Hubby had the Chicken Fettuccine (whole wheat) in Pesto Scotchy White Wine topped off with parmesan cheese (J$2800).

Great flavours with a touch of spicy and we left feeling full and satisfied.

Invest in your well being. If in Montego Bay, Eat Well and Drink Well at DLE Cafe.

“The Best Snacks for Weight Loss” with Me on MelloFM88!

by Fit Happens with GabbyHealth & Fitness


Eating a snack between meals helps curb hunger so that you take time to eat your Lunch and Dinner and you feel fine with the portions. Snacking can also help you get in all the nutrients you need.

It helps to have healthy snack options on hand so that you’re prepared when hunger strikes. Many of these weight-loss snacks are also great on-the-go snack options.

  1. NUTS
    Has healthy fats and they are full of fibre.
    If maintaing weight, Almonds are fine, but Peanuts are recommend for persons with weight loss goals.
    Add dried fruit to make it fun.
  2. GRAPEFRUIT
    It satisfies and has strong antioxidants. Delivers 100% of Women’s Vitamin C needs for the day.
    ***If on medication, clear with Doctor first.
  3. POPCORN
    High in fibre with some protein too.
    No butter it light butter. Ensure it is 5% or less in sat fat with 0% cholesterol and you’re good to go.
  4. YOGURT
    Provides Calcium and Fiber. It can fill even more Nutritional gaps by adding Fruits. Therefore choose plain Yogurt, not flavoured Yogurt.
  5. Chocolate, BUT DARK CHOCOLATE
    Losing weight doesn’t mean giving up the foods you love. Giving yourself little treats may be the secret to successfully managing your weight. Completely avoiding the foods you enjoy may end cause overeating just to feel satisfied, 

BONUS
GRAPES – High in natural sugar
A cup of Grapes is 100 caloreies
Pairing with low-fat Cheese makes a fantastic snack as well.
