There’s a LOT of diets out there, and I continue to get women reaching out to me every week that are looking for something that actually WORKS.
So if all those fad diets worked for everyone, then you wouldn’t need me- a Holistic Nutrition Coach to help you lose weight, have more energy and get rid of your health complaints.
But unfortunately, many or maybe even most of those fad diets either don’t work at all, or don’t work for your life long term.
Chili is one of those dishes that can be made a million different ways, with endless possibilities for ingredients. You’ve probably heard of or even attended a chili cook off because everyone has their own favorite recipe for this.
In my house, chili is a cold weather staple, and learning a few new ways to enjoy it can help you add a new recipe or two to your meal rotation this season.
While traditional recipes typically call for beans, tomatoes, and ground beef, this hearty dish has no hard and fast rules. This makes chili a great dish to experiment with different ingredients to create unique flavor profiles. Here are some unusual chili additions you can try this season.
As the leaves have been changing color, and dropping from the trees, and the air has started to get crisp, that can only mean one thing: Fall is here, and Winter is on its way soon.
With this change of season comes everything pumpkin -- from lattes and pies to candles and decorations. It seems like there's something pumpkin-flavored or scented everywhere you turn. While it's easy to get caught up in all the sugary sweets that come with the season, there are plenty of ways to enjoy pumpkin with some added health benefits.
It’s true in many areas of life, and so one way to make sure your health goals are achievable is to make sure you have a plan -- you have to know what your destination is to know what path will get you there.
For myself, and when helping my clients, I find it helpful to have some non-negotiables built into our wellness goals when mapping out plans. These non-negotiables are the most important goals to focus on first. You can think of them like anchors, they are strong foundations to build upon. Over time you might have smaller things to add to your goals and plans, but these anchors stay in place. Hence.. non-negotiable.
So what does this look like? Here are some tips to help you create a no-fail blueprint for living an active life with better choices to get you off to a solid start and keep you on track.
