3 Ways This Dietary Pattern Keeps You Overweight ⬇️
1️⃣ High simple carb = insulin resistance. The average day in America comes with consumption of 250-300 grams of refined carbohydrates.
2️⃣ Too high calorie. The average calorie consumption in Europe and America is 3540. That is SHOCKING 😳. These meals don’t equal that, BUT these are still too high for the average females calorie needs for weight loss.
3️⃣ High FAT and High Carb: This is the ULTIMATE recipe for weight gain. Each of these meals (aside from lunch) contain high fat and high carb, this promotes insulin resistance and weight gain.
AND I’LL ADD ONE MORE…..
This day is WAY TOO LOW IN PROTEIN. 🤦🏼♀️

The Mystery of Hormonal Imbalance in Women 🌺
MANY hormonal issues start with imbalanced blood glucose, insulin resistance, dysfunctional HPA axis, a struggling thyroid, estrogen dominance and menopause.
We HAVE to stop telling women “It’s normal” and “It’s just your age”, when there is so much we can do to find relief!
🔎 Women’s hormonal dysfunction can manifest in various ways, and it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis. That being said, here are some common signs that may indicate hormonal imbalance in women:
.
🌸 Irregular or absent periods
😡 Mood swings and irritability
🏋️♀️ Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
😴 Fatigue and low energy levels
🌼 Skin issues
💤 Sleep disturbances
💑 Changes in libido
💇♀️ Hair loss or thinning
🔥 Hot flashes and night sweats
🍽 Digestive issues

My WEIGHT LOSS Morning Routine ☀️
Here are all the details, including brands and apps that I used:
- 5 am wake up
- 15 min strength sesh (@fitonapp or @niketraining)
- 10 min stretch
- Shower 🚿
- Coffee w/ collagen (@equipfoods)
- High Protein Breakfast (>25 grams)
- Water (lemon or electrolytes)
- Bible/Journal 📖 (@shereadstruth)
- Plan the day - this one is crucial. Fail to plan. Plan to fail.
Having a very structured morning helps me stay on track. My evenings aren’t always super structured with kids, but morning CAN BE and they set the day off correctly.
Let me know your thoughts, can you try adding any of these?

Copycat Reese’s 🤤❤️
These are a FAVORITE 🤗
Peanut Butter Filling:
2/3c natural, drippy peanut butter
1/3c protein powder (I used vanilla egg white protein)
1-2 tbs sweetener of choice
Splash of vanilla
Pinch of salt
Chocolate coating:
1c sugar free chocolate chips
2tsp coconut oil (more if your chocolate seems thick)
Directions:
Start by melting your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Fill the bottom of cupcake liners with a shallow tablespoon and tilt the liner to evenly coat the bottom and a little up the sides. Set in the freezer to harden. In a clean bowl, make your peanut butter filling by combing all of the ingredients and mix well. Once you chocolate is set, press in a tablespoon of PB filling. Top with another tablespoon of chocolate, or just enough to cover. Top with flakey salt and let set up in the freezer once more. Enjoy!

Support Weight Loss by Nourishing Your Thyroid! 🌟💪
Supporting your thyroid can play a crucial role in achieving your weight loss goals? 🌱✨💃 Your thyroid is responsible for regulating your metabolism, and when it’s functioning optimally, it can help you shed those extra pounds more effectively. Here are some powerful ways to support your thyroid on your weight loss journey:
🌿 Seaweed seasonings: Boost your iodine intake with delicious seaweed seasonings like nori, kelp, or dulse. Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, which helps regulate your metabolism.
🌰 2 Brazil nuts daily: Incorporate two Brazil nuts into your daily routine to provide your body with selenium. Selenium is a mineral that supports thyroid health and helps in the conversion of thyroid hormones.
❌ Reduce inflammatory ingredients: Cut back on sugar, alcohol, and artificial flavors/colors. These ingredients can trigger inflammation in the body, which can interfere with thyroid function and hinder weight loss efforts.
☀️ Morning sunlight: Get your daily dose of natural light by spending some time outdoors in the morning sun. Sunlight exposure helps stimulate the production of vitamin D, which is crucial for thyroid health. Morning sunlight helps regulate you circadian rhythm.
🥗 Fermented foods: Introduce fermented foods like kimchi and sauerkraut into your diet. These probiotic-rich foods promote a healthy gut, which is linked to improved thyroid function.
The thyroid does A LOT and supporting it through nutrition is critical.

Cookies n’ Cream Mummy Bark! 🎃👻
A lower carb party option that’s much less spooky!
For the bark:
1c white chocolate chips
1c chocolate low carb cereal (I used @threewishes
1tsp coconut oil
For the top:
1/4c white chocolate chips
1/2tsp coconut oil
Sprinkle eyes (or make your own with chocolate chips!)
Melt your chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals until smooth. Once completely melted, add your chocolate cereal and combine. I like to smash half of the cereal to get some smaller chunks. Spread evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze while you melt the remaining chocolate.
Melt the remaining chocolate and coconut oil until smooth. Add the melted chocolate to a piping bag or ziplock and cut the tip of a corner. Drizzle over the bark and add some fun decorations!
Enjoy!!

OAT MILK 🥵 who knew what this did to your SUGAR⁉️
It’s going to be a HARD PASS from me.
The other thing about oat milk, it’s often loaded with seed oils. Yuck.
Use coconut or cashew milk instead 😊.
Video is from @Jason Wittrock . He does great blood glucose experiments. 💪🏽
