CARBS are bae and snacks are essential. Don’t forget that fruits and veggies are in fact carbs! Besides my usual oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes and yams these are some of my go to snacks. Bananas are a great preworkout (26g carbs), carrots tie me over on the drive home, edamame has a ton of protein, and frozen grapes and …

The day I realized that one ice cream wouldn’t undo all my hard work is the day my life changed. It was truly one of the hardest things to understand. I use to think being rigid and inflexible was the only way I’d get results. I was wrong. It made me unhappy, caused me to miss out on a lot, …

The truth is you can’t expect to see change if you aren’t paying attention to your diet. And by diet, I mean the foods you put into your body 7 days a week. When I go …

I try to eat foods that aren’t processed or are minimally processed. Complex carbs examples: oatmeal, yams, sweet potatoes, barley, 100% whole grain bread, 100% whole grain pasta, beans, lentils, …

YOU HAVE OPTIONS – I love noodles, zoodles and VOLUME. There’s nothing more frustrating than finishing your meal and still being hungry because a single serving simply isn’t enough. No matter what I eat I always add volume to my meal by eating a lot of veggies (salad, spinach, micro greens, kale, broccoli, etc). Same goes for when I eat …
Not all carbohydrates are created equal so it’s important to focus on macro & micro (nutritional value) of foods. When people cut carbs they often restrict bread but continue to eat ???.
