5 Tips To Abolish Food Cravings Tip 4: Set a timer for 10 minutes. Delay the instant gratification that comes along with indulging in the food craving. If after 10 minutes you still want the food, go have a small amount of it. But only do this if you can manage a small amount. If you fear that it will become a large amount - go brush your teeth, eat 6 almonds or drink a large glass of water. (Or do all 3 of those things) #weightloss #weightlosstips #cravings #eatclean #delaygratification #foodcoach #ottawa

3 Must Eat Fat Burning Foods Dark Leafy Green Vegetables You’ve probably heard that it’s important to eat dark green leafy vegetables (specifically cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, bok choy) but do you know why? ... We are living in an age of excessive estrogen stimulation. Our food supply, beauty products, water and household products are contaminated with xenoestrogens. These chemicals have an estrogenic effect in your body. Excess exposure to these (they are pretty tough to avoid) can cause issues for both men and women. *male reproductive disorders *premature death *obesity and diabetes *neurological impacts *breast cancer *endometriosis *female reproductive disorders (including early puberty) *immune disorders *liver cancer *osteoporosis *Parkinson’s symptoms *prostate cancer *thyroid disorders Here are the 2 IMPORTANT reasons why you need to consume dark green leafy vegetables DAILY. 1. Phytoestrogens are plant-based estrogen compounds that bind to the same estrogen receptor sites that xenoestrogens do. When a receptor site is already occupied by a phytoestrogen, xenoestrogens cannot attach to it. 2. Indole-3-Carbynols enhance the liver's ability to break down excess estrogens in the body. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1 cup of broccoli per day, lightly steamed. Have another dark green leafy vegetable at another meal or snack throughout the day. #broccoli #eatrealfood #detox #bellyfat #hormonebalance #fertility #puberty #leafygreenvegetables #weightloss

3 Must Eat Fat Burning Foods Don’t be fooled by specially marketed foods or claims. Eating a variety of real, whole foods on a daily basis provides your body with the nutrients it needs to function optimally while helping you to burn fat. Grapefruit ... A recent study published in the Journal of Medicinal Foods found that consuming a fresh grapefruit before a meal lead to significant weight loss. This particular study showed that two-hours AFTER ingesting this fruit, post-glucose insulin levels were significantly reduced among subjects compared to a placebo group. Insulin resistance was improved with fresh grapefruit. There is a flavonoid compound in grapefruit called naringin. This flavonoid gives the grapefruit its bitter taste and is responsible for enzymatic activity in the intestines. It also interferes with the breakdown of certain drugs, resulting in higher blood levels of the drug. (check with your pharmacist or doctor!!) Naringin also increases the half-life (extending the activity) of various alkaloids, especially caffeine. Certain fat burners utilize naringin for enhanced alkaloid effect. What does this mean to you? The natural ingredients found in grapefruit can help you to burn fat more efficiently. Now, eating grapefruit all day without changing your other nutrition or exercise habits won’t work. But, it can help you break through a plateau or help to burn excess calories. RECOMMENDATIONS: Have to 1 small grapefruit before 2 of your daily meals 3-5 times per week. Drinking grapefruit juice doesn’t have the same effect. #eatclean #fatburner #weightloss #weightlosstips #metabolism

You are unique. I am unique. They are unique. Which means. even though we are generally the same physically, we are biochemically different. Lifestyle plays a HUGE role. And, as a #holistic nutritionist, I absolutely 100% believe that everything depends. Paleo doesn’t work for everyone. Keto doesn’t work for everyone. Low-carb doesn’t work for everyone. etc. Yes, there are general rules, but even still. they aren’t unique to YOU.... Be a detective in your own #health. Take the time to try and then to notice what works and what doesn’t. Don’t be so quick to jump on the next fad. xo #holistichealth #dietfree #youdoyou #eatclean
