Meal-prepping? Think ingredient prepping!
Prep your choice of:
1-2 complex carbies
1-3 non-starchy veggie options
1-2 protein picks

*Prepare or serve with a small amount of healthy fats (avocado, avocados, olives oil, nuts, seeds).

Have a buildable selection in the fridge & prep morning of! Without committing to a specific meal.
I batch prep coz I don’t mind eating the same thing, but maybe having options will help you stick to your goals long-term!

Shown here: roasted sweet potatoes & Brussels sprouts, quinoa & balsamic glazed baked tofu.
I’ll serve w/ a bit of balsamic reduction & vegan parm.😋

Adding a healthy fat & protein will help keep those blood sugar levels more stabilized. This is not only beneficial for lowering A1c, but also helps you feel fuller for longer AND provides more satisfaction.
Skipping breakfast is not something I’d recommend for health, weight management or blood sugar. But because breakfast options are often low in protein, higher in carbies, it can be challenging to find a meal that fits the bill.

Oatmeal is one you can continue to incorporate. Easy, fast, delicious; and a great source of soluble fiber, too! But, on its own, it tends to send blood sugars high, fairly quickly. That’s why pairing with fat/protein works here!

Try healthy fats like peanut, almond or sunflower butter, ground flax or chia seed, chopped walnuts, pecans or pistachios.

To bump up the protein, cook the oats with an unsweetened non-dairy milk like soy or pea, or stir in a scoop of protein powder (you might need extra liquid here!). If you eat eggs, whisk in a whole egg or egg whites before cooking.

Remember, breakfast is just *1* piece of the puzzle to improving health & blood sugar. But starting your day with fuel & other nutrients will start you off on the right foot!

Balance wins every time. For energy, health-promotion, weight management & happiness.🤗

Using pre washed Butterhead & leafy greens, I just added some key toppings for flavor & nutrients. Prepackaged rainbow shredded carrot, cooked quinoa, chopped pecans (go for plain if looking to keep added sugars down!), unsweetened dried cherries, plant-based deli slices & a honey-balsamic dressing. With a mix of both homemade & packaged (read: processed), I was able to throw 3 lunches together in less than 10 minutes (save for the time to prep the quinoa).

Plan ahead if you find yourself missing meals. This will often lead to high calorie snacking later in the day because your body is hungry & it’s super hard to eat to hunger when we’re famished. You don’t need to be fancy. Just balance out those carbies + protein + healthy fats….and a big dose of non-starchy veg!

Have a happy Sunday!!

Same day, different 💩. Yes the dietary guidelines changed, but nobody was following the former MyPlate anyhow (which is actually what the new pyramid is replacing).

And I expect not much to change. We’re still going to struggle, because loud, confident voices are valued more than the experts. Politics continue to play a role in our food choices (which I do feel they’ve influenced a lot historically). The consensus is still less is more when it comes to food. Some folks still struggle with food access. We’re still going to blame ingredients/additives for poor health without looking at overall lifestyle.

So while the guidelines are having their heyday right now….me & the other nutrition profs will keep fighting the good fight, as we always have. It’s always been about majority whole foods, but recognizing some wiggle-room & respecting the individual, too.

No judgement here at all! Just a friendly reminder that what we give our time, our energy, our passion to….will ultimately lead us to or away from our goals.

Never thought I’d be shooting darts between sets (not shots!) on a Friday night!😅

A New Year can be a a great way to ring in some new habits!!

Breakfast is fuel. Would you try to drive your car w/out gas? That’s what starting your day on an empty stomach looks like. Our body is smart enough to provide energy via other metabolic pathways, but we are meant to take in energy to HAVE energy.

Skipping meals does nothing special for your metabolism, cells, or weight. It can lead to more wonky blood sugars & drive food cravings, though.

Planning a snack in the evening can help you avoid late night unintentional nibbling & can also help lower that fasting AM blood sugar. Be specific with your snack-planning. Think complex carbs paired with fat/protein. My favorite is Greek yogurt with frozen cherries & a sprinkle of granola. But a sliced apple with a cheese stick, a handful of roasted chickpeas, or whole wheat toast with peanut butter would be good, too! prediabetes

You don’t have to cut your carbs all season or rely on pale-in-comparison dessert options. In fact, most low carb desserts still have 15 grams of carbs per serving, which is what is recommended for a snack. So whether you’re cutting carbs, or using low carb, you can definitely find a way to stay in the Holiday spirit while still managing blood sugar.
What I’d recommend is to get your Holiday on by using those foods & flavors of the season in your everyday meals/snacks!

This fiber-rich Gingerbread baked oatmeal for example, is full of blood sugar balancing nutrients AND spices like cinnamon & ginger. Topped with a Greek yogurt icing drizzle, it’s a festive way to wake up & fuel.❤️💚

Warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves pair well with baked goods. Ginger is just delish in a tofu & veg stir fry or as a spicy after-meal tea.

How do you use seasonal spices?

A great gift to yourself would be amazing, nourishing foods to balance blood sugar, improve health, promote healthy weight maintenance or loss.❤️🎅
Soluble fiber is an excellent way to help keep that gut environment happy for benefits like better blood sugar & appetite regulation. Apples, oats & barley are 3 great sources of soluble fiber.

So add some apples to your oatmeal, diced up in a salad, or as a quick snack dipped in 1 tbsp peanut butter. Or add some oats to your lentil (or meat!) loaf, prep some overnight oats for breakfast, or bake a batch of breakfast oatmeal cookies. Barley goes great in an easy slow cooker full of vegetable soup.
So many choices, friends, to get in those good-for-you carbies. Your gut & tastebuds will thank you.

Key takeaways:
•Eat enough throughout the day to stave off intense hunger & food cravings.
•Build & balance your meals in a way that also does the above.☝️
•Little nibbles add up. Be intentional with your snacks & try to avoid the grazing habit.
•Food rules only work temporary. That’s why diets become roller coaster rides of success/failure.
Building new habits is tough. But know this, you’re tougher…and maybe you’ve just been focusing on the wrong habits!
