Food is Fuel

So you're trying to watch what you're eating. Keep the calories down, sugar under control. That mindset...great! The execution... not so great.

People are so afraid to actully eat good filling foods that they continue to stick with diet breads, "light" drinks, sugarless desserts, and their body ends up craving it all even more.

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF FOOD!

Breakfast is the perfect example, you want to get started on a heathy note, get your metabolism going, and feel full and satisfied for the morning. Coffee and light toast won't cut it... Above I have my vegan pancakes (don't worry they're non vegan taste approved) that i "veganized" from a martha stewart recipe! They are amazing with some crushed strawberries too!

Now according to the recipe that's 2 tbsp of sugar for 8 pancakes, roughly 3g of sugar added to each pancake. Hell yes!!!! Personally I dont believe in counting natural sugars (the bananas) so that really isn't bad at all. Just add some protein, either substitute some flour with protein powder or add something on the side and you have a filling satisfying breakfast! Obviously this one may take a little extra time and I only use as a weekend breakfast option unless it's made in advance! Any other good recipes I should know about? Comment!
