All through my website you are going to hear this:
Actually you know the old saying:
Everyday is a new start? Well here is where it is applied literally.
Are you on a mission to regain or rebuilt control and good health? It all starts in the a.m., in the morning. The food choices I provide to start your morning routine will balance your blood sugar AND help you control cravings through the day, HELPING you, not only stay in control of your eating choices through the day, but start you on a path where you start to crave healthy foods.
Get over any notion or belief that you have some outward control of your inner or physiological workings. However you got the idea you had the Will Power to take charge of when you eat or keeping hunger under control, is wrong. The Human Body was calculated and configured long before you showed up. Don’t buy into this ridiculous idea of Will Power that you can somehow override your Brain and functionality, as if it as simple as hitting the Ctrl button on your keyboard … Really? Go to my Page on ‘Finding your Natural Weight’. There you will gain a better understanding of how your body actually functions. You should experience relief indeed. The inner workings of nutrition, nutrient molecules and your health are predetermined to ensure your survival and that is long way from Will Power.
Start in the a.m.
I get it – you want control and don’t want to over eat – Likely what you mean is you do not want to over eat at one sitting – SO DON’T – but you still have to consume a balance that will start the process of balancing your blood sugar in the a.m.; start the process of repopulating the intestinal flora through your Intestinal Tract. The re balance of yeast to healthy flora in your Intestinal tract plays a huge role in craving control, rebuilding and regaining your health and vitality.
Balancing your blood sugar in the a.m., is a simply combination of healthy protein, fruit and a carbohydrate. It can be as simple as a small portion of a Smoothie, Oatmeal, Homemade granola, Frittata.
Here are options or go to Nutrition 101 for more ideas.
If you enjoy yogurt or other fermented diary, cottage cheese, kefir, goat yogurt, then we are off to a great start.
Smoothie Recipe:
1 – 2 pieces of fresh or frozen fruit
1/2 – 3/4 cup Organic Yogurt or other fermented dairy – no less than 2% mf or milk fat
1/2 tsp. organic Cane Sugar or Maple Syrup … any kind of Whole Sugar
Blend and Enjoy
This is a compilation of easily absorbed vitamins and minerals found in the fruit, Probiotics found in the Organic Yogurt, 1/2 your daily requirement of Calcium complete with all the necessary minerals to ensure absorption
Add a healthy carbohydrate – oatmeal, granola, organic cereal, rye or sourdough bread or whole wheat or organic white. If the combination of the two is too much, save the carbohydrate for a snack or when you start to feel hungry again.
So, if you enjoy yogurt or cottage cheese, kefir and other such products with good sources of Probiotics, then we are off to a great start of repopulating the balance of flora. I also recommend a daily Supplemental Probiotic. Listen I’m looking to find foods you enjoy. Do not eat what you do not enjoy. Do not substitute what will make you go ugggg. Your tastes will change as we go along but for right now we find proper food choices.
Yogurt or options
fresh pineapple
fresh or frozen berries
1/2 – 1 tsp organic cane sugar
1/2 – 1 tsp maple syrup
MAKE SURE it is a whole sugar source, not brown sugar but perhaps demarera sugar – NOT White Sugar but organic cane sugar – NOT Sugar Substitutes EVER – whole, sugars. I’m not a big fan of honey in this particular scenario. I mean if you are making a Vinaigrette perhaps but here the sugar sources I’ve mentioned have actual nutrients as well. Listen we’re working to find a route for you so if it’s a sugar source but it is not just a simple sugar as in honey.
So start with a Probiotic source plus healthy protein and healthy fats
If you go to my page on Nutrition 101 you will or should find lots of breakfast ideas and you can calculate amount from there. If you have some ideas you want to add, for sure let’s hear them
