Eating out while still supporting insulin isn't hard. And its super delicious. Just focus on protein and veggies and skip the bread, pasta, and potatoes. .

Not pictured - wedge salad before the steak. 😋😋😋

Conners steakhouse to celebrate our Sophie's birthday and the in downtown because its my favorite local joint.

Ahhhhmazing service and delicious food at both!

SuperStar fats for your anti-inflammatory toolbox!
Look for the cleanest options within your budget for the best health benefits.

And here's the question that always gets asked: "What about *refined* coconut oil?"

Refined coconut oil is fine to use - I sometimes use it for pan-frying protein. And it isn't *inflammatory*, but it doesn't back the ANTI-inflammatory punch that unrefined coconut oil does. So feel free to use it, but be sure to include either unrefined coconut oil, or if you don't like the taste of coconut, or better yet - organic avocado and/or cold pressed olive oil.

Why yes, yes I DID have chicken salad salad for BREAKFAST! Why not?!!!

Stop boxing yourself in with "breakfast foods".

Eat leftovers.
Eat chicken salad.
Eat chili.

Eat whatever is going to support you the BEST and help you show you to the day and the world the way you want to show up.

Bonus points because chicken salad can be batched made ahead on Sunday or Monday and enjoyed throughout the week!

NO COOKING/reheating needed when you are in a hurry in the morning! Just plop on top of some greens and GO!

My chicken salad "recipe" (it's not much of one, lol!)
Instapot cooked chicken, shredded with my hand mixer
Chosen avocado mayo
Some random seasoning blend I grabbed without half looking
Chopped pecans

Under my plop - microgreens and sliced radishes + 1 TBSP evoo
Untop of my plop - fermented pickle & a little monkfruit/allulose sweetener

I closed out my breakfast with a little 90% dark chocolate and a creamy cup of coffee.

All of that kept me happy and satisified for 5 hours easily. That gave my hard-working insulin a break and showed me that this meal was full of a wonderful amount of macros *and* micros that truly nourished me.

Give chicken a salad a try at breakfast. Why not? If Chick-Fil-A can have a double line wrapped around it's drive thru at 8am with people buying chicken biscuits, you can certainly eat a healthier chicken entree for breakfast. ;)

Alright, ladies!!! What do you have on your agenda this weekend?

Me? A little extra eating away from home due to busy schedule, but making my BEST choices all the while, and showing up to usher/greet for the highschool show my son is in! Pirate show, although he's actually playing a Lord married to a lovely lady. 😁

I got this tee to wear - "Why be a princess when you can be a pirate?" LOL!!! Not sure I fully agree with that, but I LOVED the design and I'm always for a strong woman who gets things done ;)

PS --- it truly is easy and doable to make good choices while eating out! Protein + veggies - keep it simple!

The United States spends more on healthcare than any other nation in the world — and yet we are sicker than ever. Chronic disease now affects 6 in 10 American adults. Healthcare costs are projected to consume an ever-growing share of GDP. And at the center of it all is something we eat every single day.

The CDC reports that chronic diseases are the leading driver of the nation's $4.9 trillion in annual healthcare costs — the vast majority of which are preventable.

The solution is not complicated, but it does require a fundamental shift in how we think about food.

Not as a lifestyle choice, but as the most powerful lever we have for health outcomes. By prioritizing real, whole, nutrient-dense food — at the individual level and the policy level — we can begin to address the root causes of chronic disease rather than endlessly managing its symptoms.

Our bodies were not designed to graze!

Restricting calorie intake for extended periods forces your body to break down stored body fat to generate energy. This promotes weight loss, enhances metabolic health, and supports balanced hormone levels.

Most people notice improved energy levels, better sleep, and mental clarity after adapting to an intermittent fasting eating plan.

To get started, slowly extend your overnight fast by gradually pushing back breakfast until you feel comfortable reducing your meals from three to two per day.

I'm NUTS about NUTS, lol! What about you?!! What's your favorite?

Thankfully - they are SOOOOO good for us - especially these three!
Bonus points because they are anti-inflammatory, something that I super important to me and I bet many of you, too!

Simplify your eating and take the stress and worry out of it.
Protein + veggies + berries = great combo!

Why this works so well:
1. NO recipe needed. Seriously. Just season and grill/roast/saute whatever works
2. FRESH, whole foods. THIS is what your body expects and needs!
3. EASILY adjustable to whatever you have on hand.

And yes... I DID share those berries with hubby and son. :)

Here's how I ate this to further support satiety and best glucose management:
1. I had the green beans first.
2. Next the steak - YUM!
3. Then the small amount of roasted baby golden potatoes.
4. And closed out the meal with the strawberries (and a cup of creamy decaf coffee:)

Do you *have* to eat your food in a certain order?

Of course not.

I often do, though, because I want to prioritize protien and lower carb fiber sources and I don't want to fill up or curb my appetite on higher carb foods... then not be able to fully eat my protein and lower carb veggies!

In fact, by the time I got to those baby 'taters, I didn't want or have room for all of them - especially since I knew I wanted a few in-season, farm-fresh strawberries, so I put a few of the potatoes back for leftovers. :)

This was a simple FAMILY PLEASING meal - nothing weird or "diety" here!!! EAT REAL FOOD, Y'all! ;)
