Yesterday History had a shift, The Old Food Pyramid is now flipped for the BETTER ! As we end the War on saturated fats and Welcome the freshness & understanding of---✨️Eat Real Food✨️ & 🌟Good fats 🌟 for our daily intake we can start to see things clearer. Upping protein intake with veggies and fruits while cutting back on carbs,breads or modifying to whole grain & oat breads for the Good carbs. Portion size is always good to keep in mind along with fully chewing each bite; Give time to let your stomach communicate with your brain on fullness. I too am guilty on cleaning the plate just because it tasted so delicious but my stomach was already at its max---and that leads to overeating, bloating or tiredness which sleeping right after eating will definitely pack on the unexpected extra fluff.

Keto Chips 😁

Ingredients
1 large zucchini
1/2 tsp salt divided
Avocado oil spray (or 1 to 2 tsp liquid oil)
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Additional salt to taste

Instructions
Slice zucchini crosswise into 1/8 inch thick slices using a mandolin slicer or food processor.
Place the zucchini in layers into a colander or sieve, sprinkling with a little salt with each layer. (You will use about 1/4 tsp salt). Let drain one hour.
Preheat the oven to 225F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Lay the zucchini slices out on a tea towel and pat dry with another tea towel. Then lay them out on the prepared baking sheets, close together but not touching. Spray lightly with the avocado oil spray or brush lightly with liquid oil.
In a spice shaker, combine the paprika, pepper, and the remaining salt. Sprinkle over the tops of the zucchini.
Bake 70 to 90 minutes, until dry, browned and crisp, rotating sheets halfway through baking. If some chips are crisp early, remove them from the pans and return the rest to the oven.
Sprinkle with additional salt to taste. Serve immediately.
Store in a covered container on the counter for up to 3 days. If they soften as they sit, simply re-crisp them in a warm oven.

What Muscles do Lunges Work?

1.Hip muscles. Lunges work all of the gluteal muscles in the hips, primarily the gluteus maximus that is used to extend your hips. Taking large steps during a lunge can further engage this muscle. The gluteus minimus and gluteus medius are also used to stabilize your body throughout the lunge.

2.Thigh muscles. The quads in the thigh are one of the primary muscle groups engaged during a lunge. All four quadriceps are used to extend the knees. These are worked more extensively when taking smaller steps. The hamstrings are used to keep the knees stable and help to extend the gluteus maximus in the hips.

3.Abdominal muscles. During a lunge the transverse abdominis muscle is compressed to help support the abdominal walls. You will also use the obliques to help the torso remain stable and upright while moving the hips out to the side during a lunge.

4.Lower leg muscles. The soleus muscles in the calf are used when you flex the back leg, particularly when the heel is raised. You also use the gastrocnemius muscles in the calf to keep the knee stable while you lunge.
