Bodybuilders Change Up Their Workout, Why Not Change Up Your Food Too?

As a successful bodybuilder, you know that you cannot keep to the same weightlifting routine week after week. Your body is smart and knows how to adapt itself to your workouts. Therefore, if you have been doing the same weight lifting routine every day for the past 6 months, your body will not work harder to gain muscle, it has already adapted to your rigor of exercise.

In order to keep challenging yourself and to keep building muscle, you must change your work out every two weeks to keep your body "guessing." Not only is this physically effective for your bodybuilding goals, it also makes it more fun for you to work out every day!

Eggology Egg Whites Make the Perfect Homemade Hair Treatment Product

Who would've thought that egg whites can be used as an organic hair treatment product? Cosmetic companies have known about the healing power of raw egg whites for some time--many stores carry egg white shampoos and conditioners that turn dull lifeless hair into beautiful shiny manes.

According to Stophairloss.com, "egg whites are naturally rich in vitamin A, D, E and several vitamins of B-group. All of them are good for hair: vitamins A, D and E are especially useful to treat hair loss, besides, vitamin A increases sebum production which oils dry hair and prevents dandruff and thick scalp, Vitamin D provides hair growth, and vitamin E increases oxygen absorption. B-vitamins are mostly responsible for hemoglobin. They increase the amount of oxygen and improve blood circulation."

You can make your own egg white hair treatment products at home by mixing 1 Eggology egg white with 1 teaspoon of honey and 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Work mixture through damp clean hair. Leave the treatment in your hair for 30 minutes (sit out in the sun if desired to intensify effect) then rinse out well. This conditioner will tame split ends and give luster to your locks.

Enjoy an afternoon off this summer and rejuvenate your hair by giving it maximum control and shine!

Eggology Egg White Recipe of the Day: Homemade Oat Protein Bars

Store bought protein bars can be expensive and are often loaded with sugar and extra calories. Save some dough and make your own! These healthy snacks are great for satisfying post workout and morning nutritional needs. Click here for more delicious and healthy snack recipes!

Healthy Homemade Oat Protein Bars

WHAT YOU NEED:

10 tbsp natural peanut butter
3/4 cup Eggology egg whites
5 scoops whey protein (I used 3 chocolate and 2 vanilla)
2 cups oats
1/2 cup reduced-fat crunchy peanut butter
1/2 cup soy milk (or fat-free milk)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix the peanut butter and Eggology egg whites in a bowl.
2. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, and mix well (so that the mixture appears smooth).
3. Repeat 4-5 times until all traces of egg whites have dissolved into the peanut butter, and your mixture is a smooth consistent one.
4. Gradually add the protein (one scoop at a time) and stir into the mixture.
5. Next, add the soy milk and follow with the oats. Continue mixing until a thick 'sticky' mixture is present.

Smooth the thick mixture into a 13x9 or so tray and leave for 20-30 minutes in the fridge. Cut into 12 equal size bars.
