IG: Food for thought: WHAT YOU EAT WHEN is important. For sustained energy throughout the day, I recommend holding off on the majority of your carbs until nighttime. If you eat breakfast (I don’t, I intermittent fast with a high quality coffee and don’t eat until between 12 & 2pm every day), stick to protein and fats ONLY. Otherwise, you’re likely setting yourself up for a rollercoaster of a day filled with blood sugar lows and highs, energy crashes, cravings, fatigue, excess hunger and unstable moods. For lunch I recommend mainly fats + protein again (like my salad pictured here). Of course, a TONNNN of veg as this is the universal way to win health! Eating your carb heavy foods in the evening (like squash, sweet potato, potato, rice etc.— STILL in moderation) will ensure balanced energy throughout the day AND better sleep! 😴 It will also limit you from overdosing on carbs, which is something most of us are probably doing and we absolutely don’t need to be doing 🙅🏻‍♀️. No need to be rigid but if you follow this simple nutrient timing rule most of the time, you’ll see and feel the benefits pretty quickly 👌🏼. Try it out for a month and let me know what you think! 🙋🏻‍♀️
