Here are a few tips for making healthy eating and life in general a bit easier. I know these are not new information, but they are worth repeating.
KEEP IT SIMPLE. Less is always more, as they say. Try to cook meals that only require a few ingredients. Then make them in big batches to have some leftovers. Save the fancy schmancy stuff for the holidays or entertaining, or when you must show up the neighbors at the block party.
Plan, shop, prep and cook on ONE day for the week…if possible. It sounds like a lot, but if you try to get into the habit, it ends up saving you so much time later in the week. Get online or dig through your recipe books to pick out your meals for the week. Shop, then right after you get home, try to wash, chop and prep fruits and veggies in bags in the fridge. Cook meats too! Have them ready to heat up and serve.
GUMMI BEARS
Funny story: A student shows up to 2nd block Strength Training devouring gummi bear after gummi bear. It must have been a 5lb bag he was holding as he walked into class. I even caught him stuffing his pockets for a quick snack in the middle of our Funbell's workout. Well let me tell you here is a healthy alternative to those gummi bears he might have been eating.So it happen's that we can eat a healthy version of Gummi Bears!!

Apple Cider Vinegar is full of enzymes and good bacteria. It contains acetic acid which has been shown to lower blood sugar up to 6%. It can also help eat up the starches if you do eat grains in your diet. (I use Bragg – Apple Cider Vinegar
)
)
Lemon juice helps balance blood sugar and has an alkaline effect on your body helping to regulate ph. It contains, Vitamin C. (I use Lakewood Organic PURE Lemon Juice
)
)
Cinnamon is one of the best anti-oxidants on the planet. It is the number one herb/spice for balancing blood sugar.
Cayenne Pepper has been shown to drop blood pressure, increase metabolism.
Stevia is an all natural sweetener made from the stevia plant and it is a great replacement for any artificial sweeteners. (I use NuNaturals – White Stevia Powder
)
)Gluten Free Breakfast Bar
Sharing a Terrific Recipe for a great substitute to cereal. Elana's pantry
You can make these bars and have the option of breaking it apart and pouring almond milk over the bar or eating the bar without milk.
In a small bowl, combine almond flour, salt and baking soda
In a large bowl, combine grapeseed oil, agave and vanilla

- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add onion, green pepper, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in sausage and cheese.
- Spoon by 1/3 cupfuls into greased muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Get enough sleep. What a difference that makes. You will feel like yourself and be less likely to binge on unhealthy comfort foods just ‘cause you’re crankin’!
If you are new to a lot of healthy foods, be patient and take baby steps. Try one new thing a week. You will see how when you start adding new, healthy foods into your diet (even slowly), you will naturally crowd out the unhealthy ones.
Go easy on yourself. If you slip up on a goal, or on a new eating challenge or feel disappointed about anything in general, forgive yourself and move on! You can still make healthy choices despite a slip up.
