: Coconut Milk

Coconut Milk is awesome! It helps build up our immune system and it quickly turns into energy instead of being stored as fat. I put it in recipes and even my protein shakes. But make sure you buy it with no added sugar. I buy mine in a can – the dry powder is a lower quality product where the fat has been oxidized.

Blueberry Almond Steel Cut Oats

A good hearty breakfast is a bowl of steel cut oats. This is the best type of oatmeal because it is a true whole grain. It will help lower your cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels. I add almond or coconut milk, blueberries and almond slices. It takes a little longer to cook, but very tasty.

Try this Blueberry and Almond Recipe.

Fiber on Protocol

Don’t overlook having fiber in your diet. Fiber helps to slow down, and sometimes even block, the absorption of some calories.

There are so many sources of fiber. Fruit is good, the best being an apple, but also blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Green veggies such as broccoli and leafy greens. Other great sources are beans, although some stay away from beans while under maintenance as they are more starchy. Flax seeds and chia seeds are excellent sources of fiber, try adding them to yogurt, protein shakes or my steel cut oats.
