Episode Synopsis

OMG Have you noticed my side kick in the podcast lately? She’s super excited to be involved and now would like to add her own special section to the show. Make sure to listen the whole way through to hear a good kid joke that will keep you chuckling for the rest of the day!
I don’t weigh myself often, so I don’t know if I gained the dreaded holiday fluff, but I do know that I just feel a little bit puffy. So - this week’s goal is to go totally GF and cut out all the added sugars. Full disclosure, I had a stash of some cookies one of my aunts made for us, just one of those small treats a day really added up!
So, this week, I am cleaning up my meals and using alternate carb sources.
On the episode, I chat about another leftover makeover that I made and about the virtues of going for moderation on gluten and sugar instead of totally cutting it out forever.
We  all know gluten and sugar can cause a long list of ailments when eaten regularly. But, life is also best lived with a few treats thrown in there too. So, I like to practice and advise finding your happy medium with them. (Which also goes back to that food journal I mentioned last  week.)
My number one tip for avoiding sugar in your life is to check your labels!  Food manufacturers may add both natural types of sugar (natural: fructose, processed: high-fructose corn syrup) to their food products and drinks. Make sure they are at the END of the list of ingredients.
However you decide to balance your meals for your body, that’s the right  answer. This nutrition thing is about making your system function the  best that it can with the resources that you have. And, when you feel  stuck, I’d love to help you out. Because I love talking about food.  (Shocking, I know.)
