Here's the Rub

Spice rubs have been part of the good cook’s arsenal for centuries. Found in cuisines around the globe, rubs are used to preserve and enhance the flavor of meats, much like a marinade but without the oily mess.

In general, I prefer a dry rub, which not only imparts flavor more efficiently, but also aids in the formation of a flavorful crust. The dry rub works by drawing a portion of the meat’s juices to the surface, where they mingle with the seasoning to form a thin crust that helps maintain juiciness and boosts flavor.

But the best thing about dry rubs is their versatility. Here are my favorite rubs

Same Weight but a Smaller Clothing Size?

As some of you may know, the Kinetix team decided to hold an internal Challenge coinciding with the Starbucks Challenge.  We wanted to experience the same things the partners were going through to better relate with them & provide the best support possible. My outcome? After changing clothing sizes and feeling great, the scale reported that I only lost 0.7 pounds—but the scale never tells the whole story.

Health Benefits of K0 Herbs and Spices

Herbs and spices not only add depth of flavor and color to the K-Balanced dishes you prepare, but they come with a variety of antioxidant and medicinal properties. Plus, changing the herbs and spices in many of our K0 vegetable recipes can give your dish a dramatically different taste!

There are so many health benefits gained from different K0 seasonings, so I have compiled some questions and answers:

Q: What is the difference between herbs and spices?
A: Herbs and spices each possess different qualities beyond taste. Herbs are the green leafy parts of plants. Herbs, because of their tender green leaves, contain more micronutrients such as folate, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin A. . Spices come from the bark, root, bud, fruit or berry of a plant. They offer potent antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal medicinal action.

Q: What health benefits come from spices and herbs?

Do You Suffer from PKCLD?

Do you experience any of the following:

Do you feel like you have earned extra free targets? Are you sleeping in a little later in the morning? Are you not preparing for the week ahead? Has your journal gotten a little dusty? Do things come up that interfere with your workout? Have you “been good” for 8 weeks?

You might suffer from Post Kinetix Challenge Let Down (PKCLD).

The thought of taking a break might enter your mind as the euphoria of the Challenge is waning. Before these symptoms of a break become a full blown extended vacation from your healthy lifestyle, remember ...
