My #cookbook recipes may appear similar 1s u can find online BUT I create #recipes w/ strategic intent to ⬇️ blood sugar spikes & ⚖️ our 50+ hormones Each ingredient & quantity has a purpose Recipe Names may be the same, but my recipes are wildly different; like me! #bedifferent #neurodiverse

Regular starch turns into glucose negatively impacting blood sugar Resistant starches act more like fiber Cooling certain starches bf eating creates resistancy, like pasta, rice, potatoes, oats, grains, lentils & beans Freezing bread b/f eating can help 2 #type2diabetes #highfiber #diabeteslife

Voted, now we wait.. Prep 4 Success 1. Plan meals around what u have 2. Make staples today, like starches to cool 3. Create grocery list & stick to it 4. Add healthier sweet treats to plan b/c u will want them 5. Double recipes, freeze 4 later Prep makes staying the course 1K x easier #mealprep

U won’t miss meat in this 1! It’s plant-based “steak” & potatoes you’ll want on repeat Use mushroom broth, vegan beef bouillon or beef bouillon to boost the meatiness of the dish! Red potatoes are kinder to blood sugar & cool overnight in fridge to transform into resistant starches Want to try?

When I say “Hormone Balance,” does your mind go to female problems? If so, we have some work to do 😁 There are 50+ hormones in ALL humans regardless of sex. They impact each body function & system. Many impact #bloodsugar; all impact overall health #Themoreyouknow 🌠 #diabetes #healthyliving #t2d
