Low FODMAP meals do not have to be complicated! 🤯

My 3-phase program for clients with IBS will help you:

Have you heard of resistant starches? 🤷‍♀️

Not all carbohydrates are created equal—and resistant starch is a great example of that.

What is resistant starch?

➡️ Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine. Instead of turning quickly into glucose, it travels to the large intestine where it feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

Why it matters for health:

✔️ Improves gut health – Acts like a prebiotic, helping good bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate

✔️ Supports blood sugar control – Less impact on blood glucose and insulin compared to refined carbs

✔️ Enhances insulin sensitivity – Helpful for metabolic health

✔️ Promotes fullness – Can support appetite regulation and digestive health

Foods naturally high in resistant starch:
🥔 Cooked and cooled potatoes
🍚 Cooked and cooled rice
🍝 Cooked and cooled pasta
🍌 Green (unripe) bananas
🫘 Lentils, beans, and chickpeas
🌾 Whole grains like oats and barley

💚 Pro tip:
When starchy foods are cooked and then cooled, some of the starch becomes resistant—this is called retrogradation. Reheating them doesn’t eliminate the benefit!

💚 Bottom line:
Resistant starch supports gut health, blood sugar balance, and overall metabolic wellness—making it a smart carb choice to include regularly.

Your gut bacteria will thank you. 💚

Did you know that today is National Quitters Day? 🧐

Yep!

A 2019 study showed that 80% of people who set New Years Resolutions quit by the second week of January.

A more recent study showed that 2/3 quit their New Years Resolutions by the end of January.

❓Why is this❓

➡️ we set lofty or too many goals

➡️ we try to make too many changes at once

➡️ we don’t give ourselves enough time to instill new habits

Sound familiar?

Nutrition Wise helps clients set

🌱attainable and realistic goals and
🌱how to make small changes over time to work towards
🌱breaking bad habits and building new, healthy habits.

New group programs starting January 12th!

That’s right- it helps our body release and regulate its own peptides to help reduce hunger and cravings… and without the side effects 💃

What are your health/wellness goals for 2026?

01/02/2026

HABITS….

Why don’t fad diets and quick fixes work? ⬇️

👉because you’re not establishing healthy habits that are SUSTAINABLE

Fads and quick fixes usually entail

❌ a meal plan that’s restrictive,

❌ eating separately from your family- making multiple meals

❌ having to avoid your favorite foods and/or beverages

❌ exercise regimens that are extreme or not sustainable

How is Trim and Thrive different? ⬇️

💚 the focus is on setting small goals each week to build sustainable HABITS

💚 participants are taught how to meal plan so that they can build a plan around their family’s needs

💚 exercise goals are individual and sustainable

💚 there is no counting of calories or tracking macros, rather a method of eating that meets needs while allowing favorite foods

💚 learning how to eat intuitively again- learning how to fuel your body based on individual needs, not set calories, and learning how to combat cravings

💚weekly Zoom calls with a Registered Dietitian for education, guidance, and accountability

💃 If you’re ready to take control of your health and reach your weight loss goals through a method that you can maintain,

Join us starting January 12th!
