A little perspective for Thanksgiving day! 🦃
I know the holidays can be stressful for many, don’t let food guilt be a source of that stress.
•
No good comes of beating yourself up over enjoying more food than you had planned – it won’t magically take that food out of your body. One meal won’t derail your health and wellness goals unless you let it. Be grateful for the delicious food you had and enjoy some balanced meals the next day instead of overcompensating by eating little to nothing.❤️

I use the word “rules” very loosely here hence the quotes (unfortunately twitter’s character limit wouldn’t let me put “guidelines”).
•
As a recovering carbophobe, these two simple guidelines have helped me incorporate carbs into my diet in a way that favors health (both physically and mentally).
•
Carbs are not inherently fattening. Overconsumption of carbs, yes. But this is less of a carbs issue and more of a calories issue. Eating anything in excess can cause weight gain.
•
So, instead of focusing on eliminating carbs (which will just leave you hangry and craving carbs), focus on having the bulk of your carb intake come from slow-release carb sources aka those with fiber, which help slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream and provide you with sustained energy.
•
And, when you can, pair carbs with protein and/or whole healthy fats, which act as buffers and can help slow the release of glucose even more. What I mean by “whole” healthy fats is avocado, nuts/seeds, nut/seed butters (which also have fiber!).

Are you #teamcarbs ?! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

What’s your favorite Fall dessert?! For me, or anything apples! Like these apple crisp stuffed apples I’ll be making all Fall long 🤩they’re stuffed with an oat + pecan + date + brown sugar mixture and baked with an apple juice sauce that thickens into a syrup as the apples bake!
