When I learned about Trans Fats in my Nutritional Coaching Foundations studies, I had an ah-ha moment. Suddenly I started seeing food in parts, rather than the whole. When you do that, fun foods tend to lose their fun! All in moderation can be said, but I also think there are some foods that will do […]
Can’t be active? Be fit in the kitchen!
There have been times where I cannot get to the gym or be active: a medical procedure, an injury, a sick child, or a schedule that fills with my family’s events. It’s easy to say, “Well, there goes that plan,” and just throw in the towel with the nutrition as well. But wait! Reset the […]
The Fiber to Sugar Ratio!
This past weekend I went away to downtown Indy to stay at a B&B with my husband, enjoy the local fare, tour an old home and do some shopping on Mass Ave. On Friday, I was great on my fiber and water and accounted for the steak dinner and chocolate cake that night at St. […]
Dining out? Try this!
This is how I roll. We like to dine out, but it’s not too often we do. This stop was at McAlister’s Deli and they are gems at allowing me to customize my order. Each day and my food choices depend on where I am in my macros at that point and because I remove something does […]
You eat cake?
I went to a birthday party last night and had a few plates of good eats. Then I got a sweet tooth and inquired about the cake. It’s a birthday party. There’s gotta be cake, right? Someone there said, “You eat cake?” I then realized I have sent mixed messages and have a lot more […]
What’s your snack made of?
I enjoyed a tootsie pop and decided to track it for my own accountability. Ate it, then looked it up…holy 15 carbs! It was “just” a sucker! I had room and just let it be. A tootsie pop is no big deal and I’m not calling this “bad”, but spending 15 carbs on a tootsie pop […]
Struggle with sugar cravings?
Struggle with sugar cravings? I often get a sweet tooth in the late afternoon or evening and this is my go-to snack: Ezekiel bread, 1T almond butter and 1T of strawberry jam. It offers a great carb-fat-protein balance for my goals, has lower sugar levels, and satisfies my sweets craving. When I eat white sugar, […]
America’s Stats. Mixed Emotions.
I read these stats in my Nutrition Coaching studies and I’m full of mixed emotion. I’m honored to be a part of the wellness industry, but big picture sets in and I think “How do we tackle this?” Then I realize the answer. You live outloud. You use your hardships and learning blocks to help others. […]
Water Prep…the night before!
Anyone gotten to the end of the day and realized you forgot about your water or are waaaay behind on it? Hand raised! And you can only chug so much at bedtime before it wakes you up about an hour into your sleep! New strategy: fill jug at night, set it by the sink, wake up […]
Eating? Hold the liquids!
When I come across new finds in my Nutrition Coaching studies, and they have a great impact on me, I want to share them with others. How much liquid do you drink with your meals? I used to down a ton of tea or water with my meals, BUT now I’ve learned that too much […]
