A New Beginning

Active Cooking is about more than recipes, its about having fun with cooking, enjoying eating the foods you love, and experiencing new things. As a Professional Cyclist, I eat a lot, but the lighter I am, and the more power I can produce on the bike, the better I am at my job. So the struggle is, how do I eat a lot of good food, and keep weight off? I recently discovered, I don't have to starve myself to lose weight, or eat any less, I just have to make right choices and have fun with cooking in different ways I never thought possible.

This blog will include alternative ideas for cooking the things you and I love to eat like Pizza, Ice Cream, and Pancakes. All healthy, you can eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner and not be depressed! Most recipes will have some sort of combination of Gluten Free, Low Carb, and Low Calorie ideas. It will include tips to keep you full for hours, and how to maximize the amount you eat, because if you're like me, you want to eat a lot of food but not a lot of calories!

I will also be updating on my personal life as a Professional Cyclist living in a different country, and trying new things. I will share my thoughts and concerns on the world in more than 140 characters here, instead, everything else can be found on my twitter at www.twitter.com/kcarlsenjr .

Let have some discussions, ideas, tips, whatever you want to comment on, feel free. I will try to update with new ideas and recipes each week. I hope you enjoy this site because I enjoy cooking and eating and sharing my ideas
