Stop following all the rules, instead follow what your body is telling you. Pay attention to what you are doing when you are feeling your best. ●   The short cut is consistency. Small steps in the same direction make a huge difference over time. ●   As long as we’re eating protein, fiber, quality fat, everything else is going to fall into place. Start with eating your protein and vegetables, then the higher glycemic foods (grains and starches) afterwards. If you have dessert, eat it right after dinner so you don’t have a sugar bomb at the end of the night.QUOTES: “While everybody is different, there are some things about the human body that frankly are the same. Especially if we go back to say this is proper function rather than this is what's normal, because most people experience it. Common isn’t normal.” - Jenn Trepeck “All healing is ultimately self healing.” - Dr. Taz“We've all been told to eat less, move more, we spend all this time, all day, with that restraint. We're using all that willpower to not eat. And willpower is like a whole other can of worms. But it's a finite resource if we don't replenish it. What happens to most people is that it is chemical in the body that on our way home, it feels like the 7-11 and the Dunkin Donuts and the ice cream place are magnets. It is a chemical in the body, so it's not you. You don't suck, you're not failing. It's that you have a chemical, biological thing that's happening.” - Jenn Trepeck “People look at everything in isolation. Nothing in the body exists in isolation and nothing in your life exists in isolation. So the challenge with night time eating, actually isn't about night time eating.” - Jenn Trepeck“Everybody deserves this information.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn’s Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramSuper Woman
