Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 10/16/16

Letting yourself get too hungry is a recipe for overeating -- especially those foods you most want to keep to smaller portions. Snacking is a smart way to make sure you're not ravenous come dinnertime. But snack choice is crucial to both keeping you full and keeping your healthy eating plans on track.  A treat is purely for enjoyment, while a snack is something you eat between meals to stave off hunger. Nuts or fruit or cheese could be a good snack, but chocolate? A treat.

Here is something different I like to make as a snack and have on hand for the week.



NACHO SEASONED ROASTED CHICKPEAS  


Ingredients:  (all organic if possible)

2 (14 oz.) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp chili powder
Sea Salt, as desired

Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F,
  2. Mix chickpeas with oil and spices until evenly coated.
  3. Spread chickpeas evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until crispy (shake pan occasionally during the cooking time to ensure an even roast).
  5. Serve immediately.

Easy Peasy Recipe

Clean eating doesn't have to be complicated! This is one of my go-to dinners when I'm lacking time or getting home late from working promos.



Wild-Caught Salmon- Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice on top. Add fresh rosemary and a tad bit of sea salt! Bake until the salmon flakes off with a fork. (Roughly 10-12 minutes) Enjoy with a side of steamed veggies!

Eat This to Fight Sugar Cravings




Eat enough low-sugar/carb, whole foods daily. When we don’t eat enough low-sugar, whole foods during the day, our body naturally craves calories. Guess which type of food our body knows has calories? Sweet foods. Remember that late afternoon cookie binge? How about snacking on junk food when you get home from a hard day’s work? Eating sufficient amounts of low-sugar/carb whole foods is the simplest and fastest way to reduce cravings. When you’re craving sugar check-in with yourself to make sure you’ve eaten enough during the day. Did you skip breakfast? Only have a small salad for lunch? Eat whole foods like grass-fed meats, wild fish, vegetables and greens, non-gluten grains like quinoa and millet, and good fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, extra-virgin olive oil, and coconut. Adding sufficient amounts of these whole foods into your daily regime will dramatically cut your cravings for sugar!! 


Simple trick: Have a green smoothie as soon as you get home from work to curb cravings for junk food.

Progress: Obedience

"Define your week by obedience and not a number on the scale." 




The scale DOES help measure our progress, but it cannot tell us everything. It can't tell us if the problem is too much salt intake that is making us retain a pound or two of water. It cannot tell us if we actually lost a pound of fat but gained more muscle from weight training. And it can't tell us what time of the month it is and then give us automatic credit for the extra two pounds or so those glorious few days bring to us. 

Ask yourself these questions instead: 

1. Did I overeat this week on any day?
2. Did I move more and exercise regularly?
3. Do I feel lighter than I did this time last week?
4. Did I eat clean and follow my meal plan? 
5. Did I drink enough water every day?
6. Did I eat in secret or out of anger, sadness, boredom, or frustration?
7. Did I feel that, at any time, I ran to food to fill a void in my life?
8. Before I stepped on the scale did I think I had a successful, healthy week?

I have always hated the scale, but maybe weighing yourself works for you? Measure your success and progress in whatever way resonates with you!  As long as you are making improvements you are headed in the right direction! :-) YOU CAN DO IT! Please share what has been working for you!
