Low calorie food swaps and how to put money in the nutrition bank

In today's episode, we’re taking a very practical approach to talking about nutrition and how to slightly change some of your routine nutrition patterns to help you meet your nutrition goals, especially if you are working on your blood sugar or weight loss. 

 

We use the “money” and “budgeting” metaphor to discuss why we’d even consider taking a lower calorie food option occasionally or how to think about your nutrition patterns to be sure that they are helping move you forward with your health goals. 

 

It’s a practical and pragmatic conversation about food including

 

• Why cutting out fruits and vegetables makes no sense

• Whether you should eat low fat or high fat dairy

• Why choosing lean protein can really add up. 

• How to pick a treat that meets your nutrition goals 

• Why it’s easy to get carried away with certain food groups 

 

If you struggle listening to discussions about food and calories, this episode might not be for you. We take a very realistic approach to discussing food choices and how your subtle daily choices may be walking you down a path you’re not interested in being on.

I give you a lot of real and practical food examples and share how I manage my treats! I hope you enjoy the episode.
