My appetite goes through may ebbs and flows. Sometimes I lose my appetite while in the middle of eating and I contend with nausea frequently.

So one of the pivots I’ve made now is eating my protein first, carbs (vegetables/fruit) and fats second and carbs (grains, pasta,rice) third.

I call this Prep for Steadiness so that I get satieted from the protein which also allows the natural GLP1 hormone to kick in my system.

Today I had my tuna for protein, Greek for the week salad for my veg carbs made with mixed greens, red onion, Kalamata olives, red bell pepper and feta cheese and vinaigrette dressing for my fats.

I mixed together my own taco seasoning.

On days when I’m feeling good I try to batch cook or prep some of my foods so on the days I’m not feeling so great I have options to sustain me. I call this Prep for Steadiness.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub your sweet potatoes and if them lengthwise. Rub olive oil all over both sides and salt and pepper both sides.

Put parchment paper on your baking sheet and place potatoes skin side up. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

You can totally make them in the microwave but nothing beats cooking them in the oven IMHO.

I amplify my good feeling days by batch cooking a one pot or sheet on meal, beans, salad or some veggies so on days when I’m not feeling so great I can grab something to sustain myself.

This week I batched an okra dish, brown rice, Brussel sprouts, and tuna salad.

What type of dish do you like to batch cook? Let me know in comments and maybe I’ll tag you and make it and shoot a quick video.

are the silicone trays I use.

these pancakes are perfect to make when you have overripe bananas. Other ingredients is an egg, almond flour, vanilla extract, and 2 dates for sweetness.

I like adding a teaspoon of grassfed butter on top with pumpkin seeds. No syrup needed.
