What is comfort eating?

Let’s be honest, we all get food cravings, and once they strike it can be nearly impossible to just say no.
By giving in you’re potentially adding significant calories that can add up big time.
After satisfying a craving, feelings of guilt and defeat often follow.
Why are cravings so tempting at night?
Often times, we associate nighttime with relaxing, and relaxing with eating.
It is our time to wind down and reward ourselves after a long and exhausting day.

Menopause can be associated with sleep disturbances and weight gain, particularly around the abdominal area.
These issues are often linked, with sleep problems potentially contributing to weight gain and vice versa.
Lower estrogen levels during menopause can disrupt sleep, and sleep deprivation can lead to increased appetite, cravings for unhealthy foods, and decreased physical activity, all of which can contribute to weight gain.

Ways to Avoid Overeating at Meals

Sometimes the amazing aroma and delicious flavor gets the best of us.

Especially if we’re a bit on the hungry (or hangry) side.

I’m talking about overeating at meals.

This can have a big impact on our weight, energy levels, and overall health and well being. Of course our body needs food to fuel it and we often (usually) eat amazingly healthy foods.

Here are three tips to avoid overeating at meals. (Psst, turn these into habits and ditch the willpower!):

Tip #1: Start with some water
Tip #2: Try eating “mindfully”
Tip #3: Start with the protein and veggies

How to choose a healthy yogurt?

Many yogurt products contain things that you could do without, like added sweeteners. What should you look for in a healthy yogurt?

Choose unsweetened yogurts

Tip1: Processed yogurt products often contain sweeteners, such as sugar, honey, fruit juice concentrates, and high-fructose corn syrup.

Tip 2: Opt for a high calcium and high protein option. Greek yogurts tend to be higher in protein, as they are strained which removes the liquid whey portion.

Tip 3: Look for probiotic cultures. Some yogurts will provide a source of probiotics, which are the gut-friendly bacteria that support good digestive health.

Plain Greek-style yogurt is relatively high in protein because much of its excess water has been removed. This concentrates the yogurt. On the other extreme, nonfat or “light” yogurts have as little as 4 grams of protein per serving because they have higher water content by volume. You end up with fewer calories and less fat, but also less protein per serving.

Greek or Regular Yogurt?

Plain yogurt typically contains around 10–15 grams of carbs per cup (245 grams), but flavored or sweetened yogurts can easily contain more than 30 grams per serving.

Greek yogurt differs from traditional yogurt because it is strained more times, removing some of the whey and lactose. This gives Greek yogurt about twice as much protein as traditional yogurt and around half the carbs.

Craving Milk?
Which alternative is best for you?

When assessing milk , you need to consider the following:

Protein – The higher the better as it helps with keeping you feeling full
Fat – Use the low fat varieties
Calcium – Look for calcium fortified variants
Carbohydrates – Read the nutritional panel and look for the low carb brands
&
Total calories – The fat and carbs make up most of the calories, aim for 100cal per serve.

For Weight loss – stick to skim milk,
IF lactose or Milk allergy – Try Low fat soy milk or almond milk
Oat-milk is higher in carbohydrates but is creamier in texture and froths well for coffee
Rice milk is low in protein and high in carbs
Coconut milk is higher in fats but is very low carb

GROUND BEEF OVER ZOODLES

This simple and super tasty Ground Beef over Zoodles dish is a quick, easy and much healthier alternative to pasta.

INGREDIENTS:

The Meat
450g grassfed lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (save a little bit for garnish)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp dried oregano
120 ml bone broth, or water
1 medium tomato, chopped (save a little bit to garnish)

The Zoodles

2 large zucchini, made into strands with a vegetable spiralizer
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano

INSTRUCTIONS
Place a well seasoned cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, salt and pepper to it. Break the meat up with a wooden spoon and cook it, stirring from time to time, until it becomes brown and crispy, about 8 minutes.
Add the chopped onion, garlic and jalapeno pepper and continue cooking until the veggies are slightly softened, about 1 minute.
Add water and spices and continue cooking until all the water is evaporated, about 1 minute; stir in the tomato and remove to a plate.
Return the skillet to the heat source and add the spiralized zucchini to the pan. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder and stir delicately to distribute the seasoning; cook for about 30 seconds, until the zoodles are barely just softened.
Top with the reserved meat, sprinkle with reserved tomatoes and jalapeno peppers and serve.
