12 Week Sugar Detox Guide

Just say no to SUGAR!!This is not a new idea. Lots of popular diets have come to the conclusion that our sugar intake is out of balance in our Modern diet and this is the cause of our expanding waistbands.Management of your Sugar and Carbohydrates is crucial for weight loss and your general health.When our system gets overloaded with too much sugar and carbs, our cells start storing extra carbs as fat. Our cells love to store carbs, so they are very eager and ready when we over eat our carbs. If we eat a moderate or low carb diet, then we can burn those carbs before they get the chance to be stored as extra fat.Our body uses carbs and fat for primary energy sources. So you can either burn carbs or fats at one time (not at the same time). Since carbs are quick energy, those always get burned first. If there is more carbs than can be burned at one time or more fat that is waiting in line to get burned… then we have weight gain. read more

Can you eat Dessert before Dinner??

When it is packed with protein, healthy fats, and superfoods – Sure you can!

 

My girls love getting messy in the kitchen, whipping up all sorts of treats…But I want to make sure I am teaching them easy recipes that also keep them healthy!

 

So many recipes are packed with SUGAR (yuck!) and as much as they may taste good, they are really doing us harm.

If you are struggling with cutting out the sugar, here are Four simple Tips that really helped me break the sugar addiction.

 

One thing I learned when I was trying to get healthy was that Healthy FATs were my friend! (Seriously!!)

Did you know that we were LIED to? Saturated Fats (like grassfed butter and coconut oil) are actually good for you!

 

They help me stay full longer (help regulate blood sugar), give you energy (fat is a fuel too!) but without the crash, and they can actually boost your metabolism! So here’s to eating more healthy fats, and enjoying great recipes like this one that gives you fiber, healthy fats, and protein too!

 

Now, for a simple Low Carb Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe your kids will BEG you for! 

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Coconut Flour Bread

 

Recipe:

6 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
4 tablespoons of coconut oil
3.5 tablespoons of milk (I used almond milk)
2/3 cups of coconut flour
1/2 tsp of salt
8 tsps of truvia
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/3 cup low carb dark chocolate chips.

Mix wet ingredients and mix in dry ingredients. Then stir in chocolate chips.

Pour into parchment lined 9×6 bread pan.

Bake 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Enjoy!

P.S. If you want an simple and easy way to get healthy fats, give your metabolism an extra boost, and collagen to keep you looking young even when you are on the go – check out my favorite instant butter coffee!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Lovers Unite!

You know when you were growing up and the BEST part of making cookies with your mom was when she let you lick the bowl? Come on… I know I wasn’t the only one!

Well, then you grew up… and people started talking about raw eggs and cookie dough and blah, blah, blah.

Not to mention all the calories and sugar in regular cookie dough…

 

What is a cookie dough lover supposed to do??? 

There HAS to be a better way!!!

No worries, friend! I got you boo… This is a healthy, protein packed, lower sugar recipe to help you relive your childhood without any guilt necessary ; )

 

Recipe and directions:

? 1 cup almond butter
? 2 scoops of It Works! Vanilla Shake
? 1 Tsp of Stevia (to taste!)
? 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional), plus more for garnish
? Salt to taste! (your preference)

Directions:

1. In a large microwave-safe mixing bowl, heat your almond butter for 30-60 seconds until softened and easier to stir. If you really want an arm workout, you can skip this step ?.
2. Stir in the protein powder (and, if using, salt and/or sweetener) until combined. The dough should be soft and pliable, but hold its shape when you squeeze it together. If it is too soft, stir in another 1-2 Tablespoons protein powder until it resembles hearty (not soft or oily) cookie dough.
3. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Scoop 1 Tablespoon portions and roll into balls. Press a few more chocolate chips into the top of each ball for garnish, if desired.

 

Enjoy!!
