Good vs bad carbs

 Eat more healthy carbs and whole grains

Choose healthy carbohydrates and fiber sources, especially whole grains, for long lasting energy. Whole grains are delicious and satisfying! Studies  have shown people who eat more whole grains tend to have a healthier heart.

A quick definition of healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs

Healthy carbs include whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. Healthy carbs are digested slowly, helping you feel full longer and keeping blood sugar and insulin levels stable.

Unhealthy carbs are foods such as white flour, refined sugar, and white rice that have been stripped of all bran, fiber, and nutrients. Unhealthy carbs digest quickly and cause spikes in blood sugar levels and energy.

Tips for eating more healthy carbs

Include a variety of whole grains in your healthy diet, including whole wheat, brown rice quinoa, and barley. Experiment with different grains to find your favorites!! I love quinoa ! 

Be  sure you're really getting whole grains!!! Be aware that the words stone-ground, multi-grain, 100% wheat or bran leads you to believe its something it's not !  Look for the words  whole grain or 100% whole wheat  at the beginning of the ingredient list. A lot of people just grab whatever they see "wheat" on but you need to make sure it is 100% . Ezekiel bread is also really good for you and yummy !!! 

Try mixing grains as a first step to switching to whole grains. If whole grains like brown rice and whole wheat pasta dont sound good at first, start by mixing what you normally use with the whole grains. You can gradually increase the whole grain to 100%. Honestly I prefer the anything 100% whole wheat it whole grain over non, not only because it is better for you , but it honestly tastes better to me :) 

Avoid: Refined foods such as breads, pastas, and breakfast cereals and crackers that are not whole grain

Feel Energized -  I feel soo much better after I have my shake in the morning ! I went on vacation for 12 days and forgot my shakeology !!!!!! I could tell such a huge difference in myself !!! I didn't have nearly as much energy and didn't feel as good I a normally do , I actually got sick 3 days into my vacation !

Tastes delicious -Oh my gosh ! yes , yes , yes ! its delicious ! There are a few different flavors, my absolute FAV is chocolate! It is sooooo good ! I will make another blog with some different ways I like to make mine and a few other recipes!

 This shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. It  helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today's highly processed foods, you will notice because the first two weeks i started drinking it I was going to the bathroom constantly and it was because it was literally getting rid of all the junk I had in my body. At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke. Shakeology has soo many good things in it for you , I am not about to sit down and type them all !! lol BUT a lot of the ingredients can do the following : 
-help build lean muscles, improve skin (i can tell a difference in my skin!) support mental clarity.
-Provides antioxidant support and promotes a healthy heart and optimal blood pressure.
-Promotes detoxification of the liver , kidneys and blood to restore health and vitality.
-Helps protect the body from stress and supports your immune system.

Food moderation

 Moderation is key guys!!!

People often think of healthy eating as an all or nothing proposition, but a key foundation for any healthy diet is seriously all about moderation. But what is moderation?? How much is a moderate amount?? That really depends on you and your overall eating habits. The goal of healthy eating is to develop a diet that you can maintain for life, not just a few weeks or months. If you plan on sustaining any weight that you lose you cannot go hardcore at the gym and eating healthy only until you reach your goal weight and then go back to all of your old habits. NO! that is not how you do it. You WILL gain the weight back!  So try to think of moderation in terms of balance. Despite what certain fad diets would have you believe, we all need a balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals to sustain a healthy body, totally cutting out one kind of food group is not a good idea. Why? Because you probably not going to go the rest of your life without eating any carbs. Which will lead you to gain your weight back and probably even more than you started with. From experience thats exactly what happen to me. For most of us, moderation or balance means eating less than we do now. More specifically, it means eating way less of the unhealthy stuff and more of the healthy stuff. Try not to think of certain foods as "off-limits" When you ban certain foods or food groups, it is natural to want those foods more, and then feel like a failure if you give in to temptation. If you are really craving ing something sweet, salty, or unhealthy foods, start by reducing portion sizes and not eating them as often, substituting unhealthy snacks for similar healthy snacks is a great idea !! Instead of chips with dip, try crunchy carrots and cucumber slices with a healthier version of ranch. Most likely you will find yourself craving them less or thinking of them as only occasion.Think smaller portions. When dining out, choose an appetizer or eat off of the kids menu instead of an entree, split a dish with a friend, and don't super size anything. Back in the old days there were no "super size" or "extra large" which is why the obesity problem has gotten worse as the years go by! The generation today does not realize a normal portion of something is about the size of your fist. When at home, use smaller plates, think about serving sizes in realistic terms, and start small. If you don't feel satisfied at the end of a meal, try adding more leafy green vegetables or rounding off the meal with fresh fruit also drink tons and tons of water throughout the day to help keep you full :)
