Foods to help burn fat & improve digestion

Remember the old saying: You are what you eat. And if you eat a lot of fatty foods, guess what? You’ll put on the pounds… by eating the wrong fats. But if you add the following 11 foods to your diet right now, 2018 will shape up to be a much slimmer year.

What makes those specific fruits and veggies the best?

Researchers say it’s their extremely high fiber content that can help you feel full for longer and improve your digestion.

In addition, those foods have a lower glycemic load. This means they won’t cause your blood sugar to spike as much as other foods.

Add in their low calorie content, and it’s easy to see why that list can put you on the right track to burning stubborn fat.

Managing Cravings

An important question to ask before eating – am I hungry?

Eating when stressed happens to all of us. It is a normal part of life, however if it happens too often, it can lead to even more stress and no one needs that!

One of the key elements that I use personally in my health coaching business is to use the following method to determine is it physical or emotional hunger and the steps to break it down. I’ve also included a great guide to all our favorite “bad” food cravings, which breakdown the why behind the craving and what “healthy” food we should reach for to help us conquer this battle.

7 Ways to Make No-Bake Energy Bites

Today, we’re diving deep into the world of energy bites, everyone’s favorite meal prep snack recipe!

Energy bites are a great healthier treat, packed with protein thanks to a nut butter base, chia seeds and ground flax. They are sweet enough that you feel like you just had a treat, and filling enough to keep you going when you’re on empty.

Not only that but they are so convenient to grab on your way out the door.

Swaps in this no bake energy bite recipe:

honey and maple syrup are interchangeable
natural nut butters are interchangeable, however non-natural nut butters are not recommended for this recipe (they don’t set properly and are overly sweet)
if you don’t have coconut oil, try an extra tablespoon of nut butter
if you can’t find ground flax, add 2 extra tablespoons of rolled oats

Storing your no-bake energy bites:

Short term: Store in a sealed container in the fridge. Your energy bites are good for a week or so.
Long term: Store in plastic bags in the freezer. Freeze on a cookie sheet for one hour before transferring to a ziplock plastic bag in the freezer. *Remove as much air as possible before sealing the bag*
To thaw: place in the fridge overnight

What are Probiotics?

Typically referred to as “good bacteria,” these microorganisms live in the large intestines and support the human immune systems and enhance health by warding off toxins and bad bacteria within the gastrointestinal tract.

Probiotics can help in increasing the beneficial intestinal flora that might have decreased due to hormonal and nutritional imbalances.

When this good bacteria drops, it can cause symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Probiotics are found in many natural foods, mainly dairy products, but can also be taken in supplement form.

Some of the best examples include:

Traditional sauerkraut
Korean kimchi
Kefir (Soy, coconut versions available)
Kombucha
Yogurt
Cultured buttermilk
Fermented cottage cheese
Natto (fermented soy beans)

How Can They Help This Syndrome?

In a 2015 clinical study that was published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, probiotics were compared to a placebo in tests that measured the levels of relief from IBS symptoms.

Probiotics, especially blends that use multiple species of the microorganisms, were found to be effective in reducing abdominal discomfort over a course of 4 to 6 weeks (Didari et al., 2015).

Moreover, within a 4 week time period, probiotics also improved flatulence and bloating.

Female patients with C-IBS (constipation) saw the greatest improvement; and within 8 to 10 weeks, children with extreme gassiness saw relief from their symptoms (Didari et al., 2015).

In terms of quality of life, probiotic supplementation greatly increased levels of comfort and happiness. Though the effects took some time to develop, within 6 weeks, IBS symptoms and flair-ups were suppressed.
