Welcome to our new podcast, Recipes for Your Best Life
- Have a plan. Shop with a list and meal prep to save your waistline your wallet and your sanity.
- Eat regular, smaller meals. Easier on the digestion, supports sustained blood sugar levels, boosts metabolism.
- Give your body a break. Two-3 times a week, let go of the animal proteins, even if you aren’t vegan.
- Fill up on greens. Every. single. day. They’re the most nutrient dense foods on the planet and the power of those phytonutrients is age defying.
- Steer clear of refined, sugary, fried, processed anything. If it has an infinite shelf life, do you want it in your body. That’s a big fat NO.
- Chew slowly. Being in a hurry to eat always leads to eating more than you should. Your body doesn’t even know it’s full until 20 minutes in. Taste. your. food.
- Fat is your friend. Eating good, plant-based fat between meals is a great strategy for staying satiated. A few tablespoons of cashews, some jicama sticks and hummus, you get the picture.
- Indulge every week. It’s not only ok, it’s necessary. Your metabolism will benefit from eating the 90/10 way – 90% clean, 10% extra. That equals 3-4 meals a week, where you can enjoy a few hundred extra calories.
