Delicious hydration:
When the body needs water our brains send the signal of thirst – an essential survival mechanism that maintains fluid balance. 💧

Having a pre-filled water flask always on hand is one of the best habits we can practice to ensure proper hydration, but even with the super sleek containers available today, most people still do not achieve adequate water intake. 👀

We love you water, but sometimes we’re looking for something a little less…meh. The requisite lemon wedge is always nice, but we’re often left wanting more.

FOLLOW THIS SIMPLE FORMULA:

💦 Muddled fruit
💦 Herbs
💦 Liquid base
💦 Citrus
💦 Add-ins

Swipe to explore the details for implementing our simple formula to transform your water into a libation!🤩

It’s clear that one of the biggest barriers to healthier eating is the 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 and the 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. These barriers can make cooking meals stressful and stress in the kitchen is just no fun.😰

It's not surprising that evidence suggests that improving both cooking knowledge and skills can significantly increase healthy food intake. So what is a struggling home cook to do?

Find a practitioner who incorporates food experience and culinary guidance into nutrition counseling and education services. This can have the greatest impact on reducing stress in the kitchen.

As a nutrition professional, I maintain a conversation around food - not carbs, protein, and fat. It's not that macros are not important - they certainly are. But you don't eat macros, you EAT FOOD. 😋

SAVE THIS POST: Get off the struggle bus 🚌 of snacking.
"To snack or not to snack?" 🤔That is NOT the question. The question is, "What is the anatomy of your snack?" because that is infinitely more important.

Not only does snacking satisfy hunger, but it helps stabilize blood sugar levels, boost metabolism, and gives you more opportunities to get all the nutrients you need.

Here is an easy formula for snack creation that is delicious and satisfying - win, win! 👏

The ideal "smart" snack should be a nutritionally balanced mini-meal of about 200 calories or less, and consist of a carbohydrate, protein, and a fat. This combination of all three macronutrients is crucial to ensure that you will keep your energy levels stable and feel satisfied until your next meal.

Swipe to view our guide and use a quick reference for putting together healthy and satisfying snacks.

Here’s my personal accountability post (aka an update on my 2022 goals).

So far, I’m “doing great with my meal prep – haven’t missed a week and even managed to work in some special meals!”

My biggest hurdle has been consistency.

BUT …

Here’s what I did about it:
1. 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽: Planning simple easy quick recipes. Planning 50% no-cook recipes has helped save time.
2. 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲: I switched to indoor workouts as much as possible. as part of my daily routine.
3. 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Start the day with meditation and end the day with meditation. This helps me with no screen time.

And I haven’t looked back since! Obstacles will ALWAYS try to get in the way. The trick is to find a solution as soon as you can.

How are you doing on your goals for 2022? What obstacles have you overcome? Let me know in the comments. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
