Last week's recipe and this week's tip

Last week I mentioned about separating fuels at meals.  If you have fat at a meal, then have very little carbs.  If you eat carbs at a meal, then make it a low fat meal.  If you both type of meals during a day, make sure 3-4 hours are between these 2 types of meals.

This can be confusing at first so its best to educate yourself what type of foods belong to each type of meal.

Example:  a typical breakfast contains eggs, bacon, toast and juice.  But here's the problem.  Eggs and bacon are fats.  Toast and juice are carbs.  They should be in separate meals.

Now if you don't have a weight problem, you probably don't need to separate your fuels.  But if you are trying to lose weight, have blood sugar problems, are battling insulin resistance, separating your fuels is a great step in the right direction for improved health.

Now, Donna...where did you come up with this weird idea?  No one eats like this.  Actually, its becoming a thing.  America has a problem...2 out of 3 people are overweight and have health problems and we are seeing people affected earlier and earlier.

Check out the documentary on Netflix:  The Magic Pill.  It documents the improved health of a variety of people by ditching processed foods in favor of whole foods.

Or talk with me.  I'm still learning but you can learn from mistakes I've made and what health improvements I've seen from make little changes upon little changes.
