THE Brownie Bars WHICH can also double as a chocolate mousse - seriously I kid you not!! Well I think so anyway 😊

And I cannot even take credit for this recipe except to say I took the Shane & Simple brownie recipe and used my leftover baked pumpkin wedges for the puree. It was lucky they even made it to the baked brownie stage.

This is the perfect recipe to SHARE - make it for your next work morning tea or make it when you have guests - they won’t believe it’s dairy free, GF and healthier than a traditional brownie recipe.

And sorry if you’re trying to reduce your weight this is not any everyday treat - it’s one I’d definitely reserve for a special occasion.

I did add some carob to my batter when blending it so got some chunky bits which were nice.

Having used sweet potato before I do believe the pumpkin gave it a much smoother texture but that could depend on type of SP I used …possibly. Any thoughts from the cooks out there?

Why plants and FIBRE is so important in your diet - the short chain fatty acids (SCFA'S) are protective for your health.
(1) Researchers found that levels of short-chain fatty acids were higher in vegans and vegetarians, as well as all of the study participants who generally followed the Mediterranean diet. In addition, the more fruit, vegetables and legumes people ate — regardless of the type of diet they followed — the higher their levels of short-chain fatty acids.

Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), on the other hand, is formed when certain types of gut bacteria break down animal proteins and fat, according to the study. This compound has been linked to increased risk of heart disease, the researchers said.

Using Dr Daphine Kaniaru whole-wheat bread recipe (see comments for recipe) I’ve made bread for the non coeliac’s to go with the soup tonight. It was quite therapeutic doing the kneading!! I haven’t made homemade bread for years.
Whilst the bread is baking I made myself some gluten free’biscuits’ to have with mine.

QUICK GF SOUP BISCUITS - makes 8

1 cup GF flour
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup soy milk (or other milk)
Salt (optional)

Mix everything together - it will be wet and sticky. Place spoonfuls on a lined tray.
With wet hands you can roll them into balls and flatten.
Bake 14-16 minutes at 180 deg C

What is my #1 secret?

At 57 I have not gone for the fad diets. I'm feeling fairly confident in where I'm at and in following my own GainingSLIM programme.

I would have to say it's CONSISTENCY.

Not perfection, not eating perfectly every day or obsessing over how much protein I should be having but keeping to food habits that help me keep the challenges of menopausal weight gain at bay (oh and that is such a real challenge!!). Choosing foods lower in calorie density & high in fibre to keep me full. Keeping a food diary - consistently. I have maybe only ever missed one or two days at most over the 23 books I have filled to date. Those pages tell a story. Also, I never, never, never starve myself to lose weight - I just make better choices.
I have helped many women eat more and lose weight - who would have thought! It is a real opportunity when you know what to do. This is where I come in & GainingSLIM.

If you need help feel free to reach out and see if a GainingSLIM programme might be just what you need.

THREE KEY things I do & WHY to keep healthy and trim throughout menopause & this whole getting older business!

1. Focus on my diet and ensure it is filled with wholefoods - vegetables, fruits, wholegrains, beans & legumes.
2. Exercise and keep active (resistance & walking).
3. Tracking - food diary and my weight.

WHY?
1. These are foods with the most fibre and lowest in calorie density.
2. Use it or lose it! Sitting takes years off your life & we need to build our muscles as we age due to sarcopenia.
3. If you don't track it how do you know whats going right or wrong...... weight creeps on and unhealthy habits creep back in if we aren't mindful.

This is my 13th year of working in weight loss - I don't do diets - I coach on lifestyle strategies for long term change. This is not just weight loss. It can be improving mood, energy levels, reducing acid reflux, building up a healthier gut for a stronger immune system (less illness), type 2 diabetes, improving problems with constipation & more.

I follow many different groups across social media and actively watch what is out there on the likes of YouTube. Regardless of omnivore or vegetarian, vegan or WFPB - the misinformation out there and promotion of excess protein is insane. STOP!! Ask yourself - when has there been widespread media notifications of protein deficiency (excluding 3rd world countries) in our populations? We do not have protein deficiency we in fact have FIBRE deficiency.

If you want to check out some credible science on protein requirements, then check out Dr Christopher Gardener, director of nutrition studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Center and the Rehnborg Farquhar Professor of Medicine at Stanford University.

LASTLY - what about our planet? 🌏What about the animals slaughtered to feed our greed. The excessive need for beef and stripping of forrest to create more land to farm cows for the almighty steak, is destroying our world. Recent weather events have highlighted that we need to change.

Marvellous millet! LINK BELOW ⬇️ ⬇️ I was so glad to listen to the benefits of millet in this podcast video. Maybe this is why I have so much energy zipping around all day as it is one of my favourite alternate breakfasts to buckwheat groats. So easy to cook too! See below for details.

THE MILLET EFFECT:
Ancient Grain Lowers Blood Sugar and Boost Energy
https://youtu.be/sKa26lDJgAs?si=I4JzyHoIHIY81Cds

👨‍🍳HOW TO COOK MILLET
(makes 3 serves)
1 cup hulled millet
3-4 cups water (I like 4 for a more 'smooshier' porridge)

Place water & millet in a pot, bring it to the boil and simmer covered for 10 minutes until all liquid absorbed or turn off at 10 minutes and let it sit in the pot covered a further 10 minutes.
Fluff with a fork. Cool and store in the fridge.

For breakfast I warm mine with soy milk and add 2 tbsp ground flaxseed and some crushed pineapple in juice.
