Step #1
Make sure you eat regularly throughout the day
When you keep a consistent meal plan your body is constantly satisfied. The best is to eat a good quality protein and fat with vegetables at every meal.
I like to try hemp seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almond
butter, organic eggs, organic grass fed meat, dark leafy greens,
avocados, coconut oil, quinoa, with whatever vegetables are local
and fresh!
Step #2
Uncover what foods you crave
Most people actually crave what is "bad" for them. Do you have issues with dairy, sugar, caffeine, etc?
So, make sure that these foods are NOT in your dinner. If you love sweets for dessert than have it for lunch, or eventually you can wean it out for just "special" times :)
Step #3
Get Good Sleep
When you are tired you will actually crave food for energy,
and generally the wrong types of food/drinks that make you even more
tired afterwards. Easiest way to help your adrenals is to make sure you
are getting proper sleep and keep it consistent. For example, try to get to bed at the same time every night and get an average of 8 hours (length depends a bit for every person). To make sure you go to bed at the same time
every night do NOT drink caffeine in the evening!
Step #4
Don't drink your calories
If
you have sugary, liquid calories in the form of sodas,
juices, lattes, sports drinks, iced teas, "diet" anything, it will spike
your insulin and blood sugar and will cause cravings. And, hopefully
you have learned that cravings will offer the not so nice crash later,
which make you crave them even more later on. If you choose to have a drink
with dinner I recommend having room temp lemon water, no milk or juice
or whatever else is filled with sugar, caffeine or diet drinks.

Tracy's Tip and Treat's
Weekly Simple steps to get happier and healthier plus a fresh and fantastic recipes!
___________Tracy's Tips >>> 5 Fat Burning Foods
1. Flax, Chia or Hemp
Great Source of Omega-3, fiber and protein.
Action Step: Add the ground versions to your favorite smoothie or the full seeds to salads and stir-fry.
2. Leafy Greens
Kale, Spinach, Beet Greens, Arugula and many more.
Action Step: Integrate 1 leafy green a day into your diet. Get as many leafy greens local or organic, as many are a part of The Dirty Dozen
3. Berries
Best are Raspberries and Blueberries. Again, get organic OR local :)
Action Step: Eat in smoothies, as a snack or even bake with! Check out one of my many Healthy Blueberry Recipe: Blueberry Lemon Bars
4. Coconut Oil
This is a plant based medium chain saturated fat, so it is beneficial! Actually boosts metabolism.
Action Step: Add into smoothies, saute foods with it and even bake with it. Check this blog for many recipes or find me on Pinterest!
5. Grass Fed Beef
High in Vitamin B12 and CLA (Congegated linogated acid) that will allow the body to burn fat!
Action Step: You must, must, must buy grass fed organic beef. Traditional beef is filled with antibiotics and hormones. Make your favorite meatloaf, burgers or meat sauce. Look for some great recipes with a healthy breadcrumb recipe!
_____________Tracy's Treat >>> Stuffed Zucchini
Ingredients:
- 3-4 Zucchini (Organic or local as they are highly genetically modified) or get a nice huge one from the garden.
- 1/2 chopped onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper (part of Dirty Dozen so please get local or organic)
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 lb. grass fed beef
- 1 tsp All Purpose Seasoning
- 1 tsp chopped or minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp ground fennel seed (Optional)
- 1 cup cooked white basmati rice (I've found this to be the easiest rice to digest for anyone)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil
- 2 & 1/4 cup chicken broth
Instructions:
1. Bring 2 cups chicken broth to a boil and then cook rice.
2. Preheat oven to 375 F.
3. Cut and stem zucchini. Use a spoon scoop out and discard flesh and seeds, leaving 1/2 inch of the flesh intact. Cut a thin slice on bottom if they are rolling around.
4. Place zucchini in roasting pan and place in oven while it is preheating to start to soften it.
5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Saute on medium/high the onions and peppers just as they soften (aprox 5 minutes).
6. Set onion aside and brown the meat with the all purpose seasoning, fennel (optional) and garlic.
7. Reduce heat to low and add rice, chopped basil, chicken stock and stir.
8. Remove Zucchini and add in ingredients. Place in oven and cook uncovered for about 20 minutes until filling is slightly browned)
