How To Create a Healthy Real Life Nutrition Plan

4/26/2019

I’m over hearing about the latest diet or which one is better.   We get sucked into the easy claim that “you can lose 7 pounds in 7 days”. The reality is, there is no perfect diet, no better diet or best diet.  It just doesn’t exist.
 
Everyone is different.  You are biochemically unique.  We are different genders and ages, with different body types, and different lifestyles.  Have different interests, health goals, and activity levels.  So, to think that there is one “perfect” diet that will work for everyone is crazy.  The perfect diet for you is the one that you enjoy, makes you feel your best, and that you can maintain long-term.

Label Reading 101 – Tips to make healthier choices

2/8/2019

A recent study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that almost two-thirds of American grocery purchases are highly processed foods. In addition, 77 percent of American grocery purchases consist of either moderately or highly processed foods. So today the average American consumes more than 1,000 calories of processed foods every day.  WOW that is a lot of processed food! 

The ideal rule for choosing good healthy foods is if it has a label, don’t eat it.  But in today’s world, we either don’t know how to cook or rely on convenience foods to save time.  So here are some tips to help you make better choices.

Easy Crock-Pot Chicken & Bone Broth

Bone broth is loaded with flavor and nutrients and can be made easily in your crock-pot. I always have it on-hand in my freezer.  It’s great for sipping or as a base for soups, stews, or sauces.  Also, the chicken cooked in the crock-pot is always flavorful and tender.  I will freeze it in one to two cups packs and use for salads, soups, tacos, any recipe that calls for cooked chicken.

What Are Coconut Aminos?

Coconut aminos are a soy-free and gluten-free delicious alternative to soy sauce or tamari. Made from just two ingredients, coconut tree sap, and salt. Coconut aminos are great for anyone that is that is avoiding soy or gluten for health reasons. 

Coconut aminos are still dark in color and have a good balance of rich, sweet-savory flavor but not as salty as soy sauce or tamari.  I use coconut aminos in place of soy sauce in stir-fries, salad dressings, marinates or for dipping foods like sushi.

You can find coconut aminos in most grocery stores.  Even Costco is carrying the Big Tree Farms brand.

Happy National Type 2 Diabetes Awareness Day


The odds are good that you know someone with type 2 diabetes or you may be a person with diabetes yourself or you have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes.  The prevalence of diabetes is continually increasing.  In the U.S., 1 in 3 adults has pre-diabetes and is at risk for type 2 diabetes, yet nearly 90% don’t know they have it.

By the year 2050, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicts that up to 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes, most having type 2.  The amount of money that we spend on type 2 diabetes is crazy stupid high.  Per the American Diabetes Association, the total cost of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. in 2012 was 245 BILLION dollars: $176 billion for direct medical cost and $69 billion in reduced productivity.  This has to change. 

Learning about diabetes and how to prevent it is the first step toward living a longer, healthier life.

Why do we mindlessly eat?

10/30/2017

Are you really hungry?

Does this happen to you?  Not hungry, walk into the break room, see food and eat it, just because it was there.  It happens.  You’re not hungry or even thinking about food but you find yourself eating without thinking. 

There are lots of reasons why we eat without thinking.  Some eat when they are bored and it gives them something to do. Sometimes we eat out of habit.  Like snacking when watching TV.  We are also subjected to many food cues from the outside world that influence when and what we eat.  Seeing or smelling food is enough to make us want to eat.  Can just be a TV ad as well.  It doesn’t take much effort to take a bite and then another and another.  Overtime mindless eating adds up and leads to excess body fat and chronic health issues.
