[VIDEO Interview!] 5 Tips to Reduce Overwhelm, Stress, and Guilt During COVID-19

Hi there!

Join me as I talk with Dr. Jessica Larson of Mama Be about how to reduce overwhelm and stress (and the guilt around bad habits) when it comes to healthy eating.

I share 5 simple tips for how to make healthy eating easier and more efficient, especially during times when you are stressed, spread too thin, and are short on time.

Whether you are a busy mom in need of some serious self-care, or your an executive responsible for leading your team effectively, these tips are for you.

Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup.

In order to show up as your best, and to serve your best, you MUST fill your cup first.

Let’s talk about quick and easy ways to ensure you fill your cup:

VIDEO | Your 7-Day Clean-Eating Meal Plan! Published in EatingWell Magazine!

And on the most candy-filled day of the year, I thought it was the perfect time to share with you my recent article published in EatingWell Magazine!

I created a 7-Day Clean-Eating Meal Plan for Fall to give you seven full days of clean-eating recipes!

You’ll learn:

  • What “clean-eating” means

  • What are “clean” foods to eat more of

  • What fall foods to eat more of

  • What foods to limit

  • Exactly what to eat

  • How much to eat

  • And when to eat throughout each day to lose weight and feel great

It starts off as a 1,200 calorie plan (which is very low calorie, so be careful here depending on your height and weight so you don’t slow your metabolism…) but I give TONS of ideas on how to make each day work for 1,500 calories and 2,000 calories.

Then, watch this video where I do a deep dive into the plan and what to shop for and eat more of:

You hate to admit it, but your efforts to eat healthier and feel your best are sporadic.

The problem isn’t knowledge of what’s healthy.

You have a good understanding of what’s good for you and what’s not.

The real problem that keeps you from eating healthy consistently:

Time.

You feel like there’s just not enough time in the day to plan, prep, and make it happen day in and day out.

But feeling your best and showing up as your best each day requires you to be consistent.

That’s where the rubber meets the road- consistency.

Easier said than done, you might be thinking.

But I’ve got a super simple strategy to help you 😊

One of the best ways to be consistent:

Stocking your kitchen with healthy food.

But I’m not suggesting you stock your kitchen with dozens and dozens of items that will overwhelm you and leave you thinking that grabbing takeout is so much easier (which would leave you feeling bloated and disappointed).

What you need are the must-have essentials that make healthy decisions effortless (or nearly effortless).

What you need are the healthful fundamentals that you can use to make meals and snacks in 15 minutes or less.

A stocked kitchen should contain items that make consistent healthy eating a no-brainer.

So, what are the 10 kitchen staples I always have at my fingertips?

The ones that nudge me to eat healthy consistently?

I created a free eBook for you to not only show you what I always have on hand, but to show you exactly what you can make using those 10 essentials!

Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks- it’s all in there 😊

I know from experience that having these staples on hand, and having a cache of super quick and simple recipes in my back pocket, helps me be consistent.

I hope you find that they help you be consistent too.

VIDEO | Who Else Wants a Fresh Start?! September is the Other New Year's + 3-Day Action Plan

September always feels like a fresh start to me- the crisp air, back to school season, a new beginning.

You could say that September is like the other New Year’s!

Which, if you’re anything like me, makes me want to set new goals, new routines, and really hone in on healthy eating and activity.

But there’s a catch:

We often set out to accomplish way too much, with too many goals and changes all at once…

Which wears off after a week or two and we fall back into old routines.

So, here’s my game plan and I’d love for you to join me:

I’m setting a goal for the next three days.

Yes, only three days.

And here’s why:

• The first day is easy, because motivation is high.
• The second day is easy, because there’s only two days left to accomplish the goal.
• And the third day is easy, because it’s the finish line.

Three days for a goal is long enough to feel like you’ve accomplished something great, but short enough that you feel motivated and inspired to take action all three days.

Today, I'm sharing with you my 3-day goal, and two BONUS ways to ensure success with accomplishing the goal you set for yourself!

And if your goal is to eat a little healthier by cooking in (always the best and simplest way to eat healthier), then I’ve got you covered!

Meal Plan Like a Boss & FREE Meal Planner and Grocery List | +Video |

I used to hate meal planning- I thought “I’ll just stock a bunch of healthy stuff in the fridge and make healthy meals throughout the week…easy!”

But to be honest, I would come home from work ravenous, and dive headfirst into junk food or order something in that wasn’t so healthy.

So much for “healthy stuff” on hand! 

But I really wanted to eat healthy and make delicious meals at home.

And I wanted to do that without a lot of thinking.

To make meal planning for the week actually work for me, I needed to create a 5-step process that would guarantee success.  This process is a total game changer, so I wanted to share it with you!

I’ve created a video to walk you through the 5-step process to meal planning, along with a printable and fillable guide for you 😊 

It includes the 5 Steps to Planning Your Week of Eats PLUS a Meal Planner and Grocery List, which you can use each week.
