Live with Kelly — chia pudding and Cruise Control coffee

Live with KellyThe two breakfasts from The Cruise Control Diet, cooked live on the Live set.

Cooking on the Live set is its own kind of sport, and Kelly Ripa is very good at it. In this segment we made the two things I give almost every new client: Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding and Cinnamon Spice Coffee, both straight out of The Cruise Control Diet.

Both recipes exist for one reason. The window between waking up and your first real meal is where most people quit, because they are cold, tired and hungry and a cup of black coffee is not enough. Coffee with the right fats blunts that hunger completely and keeps insulin flat, so your body stays in fat-burning mode. The chia pudding does the same job in the evening — it is thick, sweet-tasting, high in fiber and omega-3s, and it has none of the sugar that would undo the day.

Watch the segment for the exact ratios and the small details that make the pudding set properly instead of turning into soup. Then make one tonight and have it waiting in the refrigerator. It is the easiest single change a midlife body responds to.
