Happy Wednesday! I remember the feeling vividly... I'd get up, grab a XL cup of java and a bagel or a muffin and I would push myself all day barely stopping to take a pee and then it would hit about 2pm.. Man oh man, my energy would plummet and the sugar shakes would hit me and I wondered how the heck I was going to make it through the rest of the day.🙈 So I'd grab another XL cup of java ☕ and whatever food I could quickly throw into my body and grind it out the rest of my day. ⠀ Sound familiar?⠀ ⠀ But what would be even better then a shot of caffeine and quick convenience food is if we had consistent energy throughout the day ;) ⠀⠀ Right!!! SO let’s chat about how we can do that.💕 Eat PROTEIN at EVERY MEAL. Protein is a macronutrient that will help balance blood sugar and keep energy consistent throughout the day 😎Adding a Healthy Fat like a handful of almonds or 1/2 avocado or 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter to at least 2-3 of your meals every day will work in tandem with the protein. YES our bodies need fat to burn fat. ⠀ Understanding carbs and what carbs fuel the body and how to strategically eat them throughout the day. Carbs are not evil 😈 ⠀⠀ We need them and understanding how our body responds to carbs and the specific timing of carbs will help avoid the midday slump due to blood sugar regulation. Aim for the complex carbs that are slow digesting with fiber like oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice are best. And DON'T go for hours without something to eat. We want to aim at keeping our blood sugar level and a steady state. REST and DIGEST and REJUVENATE. Go to bed earlier, at a set time. Wake up at a set time.🙀 Getting a proper rest will help to manage stress. Stress management is key for hormone regulation to reset and reenergize your body. 🛏💤 This will help to regulate your circadian rhythm, allowing your hormones to flow with nature and maximize your energy. ⠀ Need some help getting these hormones in check?
