summer, school & a sugar cleanse

6/8/2015

10 Comments

 
I haven't done many personal posts in a while, so I thought, "hey, today's a good as time as any."  I'm still floating on cloud 9 since our Universal deal announcement and I'm loving school. As always, I have many irons in the fire, mainly because it's my nature and a little because my heart and soul is wanting a little one and I want, ok, I need to keep myself as busy as possible while we continue trying. 

Summer has been a blur so far, but exciting. Between putting out the Summer issue of Runway, class, the new record deal and freelancing, it hasn't left much time for a social life, but we try to make it a priority. We went and saw Pitch Perfect 2 on opening night which was insanely fun and a big personal accomplishment, as in previous years, my anxiety wouldn't have let me attend a crowded movie. YAY for healthier living!

My diet has looked a little different as of late. While I strive to live as close to Paleo as possible, ensuring many vegetables, lean meats and fruit fibers get into my diet, sometimes it doesn't always work best for what my body is needing. That's a process I'm learning not only for myself, but for my future clients. I believe in the power that food has to heal, and that for some of my former issues/current issues, grains can cause more damage than good, but right now my body is telling me in moderation, it's what I need. 

I'm mixing in a little gluten free oatmeal once a week and some high quality, organic rice or rice products as it's actually improved my digestion in the last couple of weeks, and sorry for the information, made me more regular than when I'm just on plants and meats. I also noticed, especially when I was pregnant, that my ketone levels were getting quite high, and healthy carbs, even in the form of sweet potato or starchy vegetables will help prevent that.

But sugar, aside from fruit and honey, sugar is still a non-negotiable. In all it's refined forms, sugar is toxic. Which is why I've added a link to my Honest Girls Guide To A Sugar Cleanse from my guest post over at Around My Family Table. It gives an in-depth look on what it's REALLY like to cut sugar from your diet. Teaser: IT GETS EASIER. You'll have more ENERGY. Less illness. Better skin. I mean, why not give it a shot?

As a bonus, you'll also get access to my 5 Tips For A Successful Detox.

Lauren,

That's SO great! How did you like it? And yeah, sugar is sneaky. They really do put it in EVERYTHING.

The pictures of your food look yummy! I love oatmeal and your salad is the perfect combination for summer especially. I also really enjoyed your guest post on the sugar cleanse, something I've been making an effort with.

I did a sugar cleanse about two months ago and it was awesome! I felt like I had so much more energy and it really cleared my face up as well! I suggest it to anyone who is looking for what that or looking to lose a little bit of weight -cause it helps with that as well! Sugar is horrible! Love this post :) You're food looks amazing :D

Kalee,
That's SO great for you!! It's amazing that people get it so backwards - thinking that sugar gives them the energy, when really, once its removed we have such long lasting energy! Would love to know how you are doing with your sugar moderation! :) It inspires us all

about

Nosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me.  What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet.  I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. For more of my story you can click here. 

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options.
