I'm kicking off a ReSET nutrition challenge - this is not a diet, but instead a system to create a sustainable way to eat healthy, nutrient dense food while still loving your life.We need to change our relationship with food. Food nourishes us and heals us but our fast paced lives and easy access to premade, highly processed foods mean we sacrifice quality/health for ease.The ReSET program is about creating positive relationships with food by showing you how to change the composition of your plate, what's on your plate and how to change your behaviour so instead of grabbing take out, you grab the food you made before you leave the house.What can you expect?guidelines and visual aids on what your plates should look likefood charts highlighting what I call 3X foods, foods packed with nutritiontrackers to help keep you stay motivateddaily videos to help guide your choiceselimination of certain food and drinks to help focus on rebuilding a positive relationship with food while seeing if certain foods may be sabotaging your best intentions by causing bloating, water retention, heightened cravings, hormone disruption, etc. Reintroduction of some foods and drinks after challenge is completedaily posts with recipes and tips to help the new behaviours stick on the TriFIT Get Social PageWhat this isn't...There are no premade meal plans because we all have different tastes and preference.

See pictures for ingredients.

I mash the banana first then add everything else, mix well and bake in a 9x9 for 45 min @375

9x9 makes 9 servings.

Today was hard. Breakfast and lunch were on point but then the day got away from me.

I was in the office again today but ended up late at the office and didn’t get home until 7pm after which I had an in person meeting at the school at 7:30. There was food at the school and I crashed and burned 😓

tomorrow will be better!

This week we are looking at all the ways we can add protein to our meals. Here are two great breakfast options. Both packed with omega-3's and protein.

BUT the second also includes fibre to create a more full feeling. Has complex carbs to give an energy boost to your morning too.

To get the kids on board here are my tips:

  • create a breakfast bar of toppings (seeds, nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, cinnamon to sprinkle, shredded dark chocolate, shredded coconut, honey)

  • let them help shop for the toppings - it helps build the excitement

  • praise them for their choices when they finish piling their bowls, don't worry if they don't eat it all. Focus on what they did well and praise

  • switch out toppings so it doesn't get stale

Before you know it you boxed sugar cereals are out and breakfast sunday's are in!

Ps. if you cook the oats in coconut milk you add MCT to the mix, add a sweetness and lovely texture to the oatmeal

I'm feeling a little tired this week as the body is resetting itself in this challenge. Got a BIG win today however when I hit play on the Core Challenge. When I first did this one in Level Up it broke me....I cried and couldn't finish. Today I crushed it, with a few modifications in the final set. 💪

Learning dehydration causes your brain to shrink scared the crap out of me to be honest. I need a good why to change my behaviour. This is one the biggest whys I've ever come across.


In Dive Deep this month we are reading "BioHack Your Brain." We dive into bug whys to help change our behaviour. We learn how to motivate ourselves and come to understand outselves, our bodies, our minds and our roadblocks better ... together.


Don't drink enough water? I listed just a few ... all related to our cognitive/brain function

Another good day.

breakfast was oats with all the fillers (chia, flax, cinnamon, protein powder) topped with slivered almonds and 1\3 diced apple

linch was a 3 egg omelette with a full serving of spinach and red pepper and a side of strawberries and blueberries

for snack I had 100g plain Greek yogurt with 1 scoop protein powder, a tbsn PB and a scoop of greens powder

dinner was spaghetti squash with homemade red sauce and meatballs with a salad on the side.

felt surprisingly satiated today!

Ok, you knew at some point the Shakespeare geek in me was going to say it.

In all seriousness, prepping can be stressful and overwhelming. Never mind time consuming. It use to stress me out too!

Then I changed up how I prep. I prep throughout the weekend using lunch and dinner on both Saturday and Sunday to build up meals, snacks, and breakfasts on the go for the week. Then mid week do one more large batch meal to finish the week.

Check out the ReSET videos on breakfast, lunch and dinner to see what those meals look like to inspire your food prep.

Tips:

  • Large batch meals like soups, stews, curries

  • Make breakfast cookies or bars while dinner is cooking

  • Slice veggies for the week while cutting up veg for dinner

Caffeine, Eddie Vedder calls it the gateway drug. It is addicting and ...

  • increase anxiety

  • elevates your heart rate

  • disrupts your sleep

  • stimulates your central nervous system

  • blocks the body's ability to absorb magnesium (which is responsible for over 300 biochemical reactions in the body)


Tip: try switching out coffee with an herbal tea like mint tea, ginseng tea or hot water & lemon
