Who doesn’t love a piece of toast, or waffles, or a tortilla stuffed with all sorts of goodness right?! The trick isn’t to stop liking them, and never allow yourself to enjoy them. The real hack is learning how you can utilize a few simple strategies to support you consistently eating a diet aligned with building and maintaining health while also leaving room for flexibility. Since insulin resistance is often exacerbated by most white flour products it’s a good idea to shift your focus onto whole foods that are rich in dietary fiber and full of nutrients like protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants. But when you want a sandwich, or waffles, or anything of the likes, see if you can apply one of these tips: ✨Look for a product upgrade like we mentioned in the video, seed and nut based breads like Base Culture and Julian's Bakery. ✨Try making homemade versions of your favorites using healthier ingredient swaps, we share tons of inspo here every week. ✨Don’t try to restrain yourself too much, this can lead to binge eating. If you want a quesadilla, try using something like a quinoa tortilla as an upgrade and enjoy a quesadilla! Just try to aim for the bulk of your diet to consist of whole foods like - seafood, beef, eggs, vegetables, leafy greens, fruits, berries, seeds, and nuts - rather than overly relying on fillers from more processed options, even if they are made using things like almond and coconut flour. ✨Lastly, try pairing these favs with other super nourishing things like, an almond flour waffle topped with nut butter and berries, or toast with avocado, beeya and an egg. Aim for a combo of healthy fats, fiber, and protein to balance things out.
