"How to Stay Healthy & Energized this Holiday Season & Still Enjoy All Your Favorite Comfort Foo ds"
I haven't gained a single pound over the holidays for the past 5 years. I eat all that I want. I never go hungry.
I'm not trying to rub it in, I'm just letting you know that it's possible!
It wasn't always this way though... years ago, I was just like the majority of the population who put on the dreaded 5-10 pound holiday bulge, but then I found out the secret to staying slim during the holidays, while still eating all my favorite dishes.
How do I do it?
I still eat Ginger Cookies, Holiday Nog, Baked Yams, Turkey, Pumpkin Pie with cream topping, all of my other fav holiday recipes, but I replace the 4 ingredients that pack on the pounds the fastest, with healthy alternatives, that even taste better!
So what are these 4 ingredients that cause our bodies to store fat and make us tired? If you've already figured out that going gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free is the fastest way to lose weight and increase your energy... good for you.
But not to worry! You can still enjoy all of your traditional holiday recipe.
You just substitute the problem ingredients in your dishes with healthy gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free alternatives.
Like... Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil... not only an excellent cooking oil, but one of the healthiest foods on the planet...
And... Agave Nectar... an all-natural, honey-like sweetener that, unlike sugar, has a very low glycemic index.
Here's a sample holiday menu with healthy substitutions:
- Holiday Nog (using Almond Cream instead of dairy)
- Healthy Roasted Turkey (using ghee for basting instead of butter)
- Nutty Yam Bake (using almond milk and sweetened with agave nectar)
- Almond Stuffing (using almond meal with typical stuffing spices)
- Gluten-Free Herb Dinner Rolls (using brown rice flour instead of wheat flour)
- Cranberry Sauce (using fresh cranberries and agave nectar)
- Christmas Cookies (using almonds and dates instead of flour and sugar)
- Raw Pumpkin Pie (using fresh pumpkin and psyllium)
