🍳 MY FAT-BURNING BREAKFAST STRATEGY 🥑 ⠀
⠀
🍽 You’ve probably heard that you must eat breakfast first thing in the morning in order to rev up your metabolism. ⠀
⠀
🔥 But guess what? Your metabolism is already revved up when you wake up. You’ve spent the whole night burning a lot of your stored carbohydrates, so your body is in prime position to start using some of your fat for energy. (Remember that the body uses carbs as energy first and that you have to get through most of those before it will start burning fat). ⠀
⠀
⏰ That’s why I’m such a huge fan of intermittent fasting. When you wake up and don’t eat right away, you are allowing your body to continue to burn fat as energy. Once you eat, your body switches from using its own stored energy to using the new food energy you’re putting in your mouth. ⠀
⠀
🔥 So the first strategy for fat-burning is to Intermittent Fast. But the second strategy for fat-burning is this: ⠀
⠀
When you break your fast: Eat fats first, carbs later! Choose higher fat and protein foods (think foods like eggs, avocado, butter, unsweetened full-fat yogurt). ⠀
⠀
🥞 Avoid lots of carbs for breakfast. Because once you introduce significant carbs into the mix, you will switch over into sugar-burning mode! ⠀
⠀
🍳 Aim for fats and protein at breakfast and you’ll be well on your way to metabolic flexibility. I love adding greens like spinach and arugula to my break fast. Leafy greens and non-starchy vegetables are not significant in carbs and so they are a great addition to your plate. ⠀
⠀
🍌 You don’t have to do this every day. I do it about 3-4 times a week and on the other days I enjoy sweet potatoes or banana pancakes for breakfast. But having this strategy in your metabolic toolbox puts more power in your hands toward achieving the healthy body you desire.⠀

🎶Do do do do... it’s the FINAL COUNTDOWN! 🎶 ⠀
⠀
⏰ We’re more than halfway through our Summer Slim-Down round of Feast 2 Fast! ⠀
⠀
🏋🏼‍♀️ This round is special because it focuses heavily on exercise and making movement a major part of your day. There are two types of ancestral movement I encourage. ⠀
⠀
🚶🏼‍♀️ There’s gentle movement to do throughout the day- including walking, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc. ⠀
⠀
💃🏼 And then there’s interval movement. Short bursts of activity that mimic our ancestors’ movement patterns- short sprints to hunt or run away from a predator and then plenty of rest in between. ⠀
⠀
👌🏼This is a great, simple interval workout that requires NO equipment whatsoever and will get your heart a little workout!⠀
⠀
🎵 😉 Bonus points if you play “The Final Countdown” while you do this workout.

☀️The summer season is upon on us and it’s time for some sunshine! ☀️⠀
⠀
🧴 I love getting real sunshine on my skin: I love the healthy glow and it gives me happy endorphins. Our body does need some healthy doses of sun: it activates Vitamin D and helps set our circadian rhythms for better sleep and stress management. But too much can be aging on the inside and outside of the body, plus it increases the risk of skin cancer.⠀
⠀
⚖️ I battle this balance often. Check out my latest blogpost (link in bio!) to learn about the dynamic duo- the two solutions that I find most helpful for getting my glow on and avoiding sunburns.⠀
