There are practical ways to overcome it. Why Can’t I Decide What to Eat? Our struggle…

Things I Wish I Knew About Meal Planning

Meal planning can seem overwhelming at first, but it’s one of the best tools I’ve discovered for making family meals easier and healthier. I started meal planning with the hope of saving time and reducing stress during busy weeks, but I quickly learned that there’s so much more to it. Looking back, there are many things I wish I had known before diving into meal planning. Here are some valuable…

Make Fresh Bread Weekly!

Make fresh bread weekly for an excellent and affordable side dish! I have recently gotten back into making a fresh loaf of bread with my bread machine on a weekly basis and it’s been a game changer for meal planning. Without a tiny kitchen helper, it takes less than 5 minutes to prep and then the bread machine does all the rest of the work until it’s time to pop it into the oven. Fellow parents,…

Reducing Food Waste in Australia: A Personal Journey Towards Sustainability

Australians love good food, and our nation boasts a rich culinary tradition. However, this enthusiasm for great meals sometimes leads to a significant issue – food waste. Did you know that Australia throws away a staggering 7.3 million tonnes of food each year? That’s a lot of delicious meals going to waste, and it’s not only harmful to our environment but also to our wallets. In this blog post,…

Some wl tips that I've learned:

If you start your day by drinking ginger-lemon tea or raw ginger and lemon steeped in hot water on an empty stomach, it helps you with weight loss. (Source: Dr. Barbara O'Neill. Barbara O'Neill is amazing when it comes to wl, definitely watch some of her seminars on YouTube if you haven't.)

If you eat less, you'll lose weight, but mostly muscle. If you eat less but prioritize protein, you'll lose body fat. (Source: Dr. James DiNicolantonio)

Gut health is so important! A healthy gut and an unhealthy gut can be the difference between weight loss and weight gain.

Also, it might be good to do a parasite cleanse, as a lot of them will make you crave things like sugar and other carbs, which causes weight gain and keeps the parasites alive in your system. Pumpkin seeds, papaya seeds, and the 1150 hz sine tone frequency are great for killing off and expelling parasites.

Do lymphatic drainage methods! I did a lymphatic massage on my stomach and not only did I have less bloating after I did so, but it really helped me with my constipation (and ik that y'all need that on here)

If you have raw veggies before a meal it keeps your blood sugar stable and keeps your cravings low, so when you eat your meal you don't feel so insatiably hungry and you don't overeat. This is actually a normal thing that France does - they give you veggies before your meal specifically for this purpose, they call it "crudités".
