CARBS GET SUCH A BAD RAP. Yet not all carbs are bad. In fact, the right kind of carb can stabilize your blood sugar (meaning less cravings), feed your gut bacteria (that work hard to keep you healthy in many ways). and help with keeping your energy + mood from fluctuating. Carbohydrates are one of your body’s main sources of energy ... sooo you're kinda stuck with needing them. ... The key is to choose the right kind. Try to get most of your carbs from fruits and vegetables rather than sugars and refined carbs. Cutting back on white bread, pastries, starches, and sugar can prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar, fluctuations in mood and energy, and a build-up of fat, especially around your waistline.

Do you know that when your brain sabotages your latest health efforts, it’s actually trying to keep you safe? Weird, but true. Your brain’s mission is to avoid pain, seek pleasure and spend as little energy as possible to do so.... When you catch yourself coming up with excuses to avoid changing, remember that the unfamiliar will always be uncomfortable and terrifying to a part of your brain. It is an unfamiliar pattern to meal plan. It’s unfamiliar to make new recipes. It’s unfamiliar to do a workout first thing in the morning. To train your brain to stop overreacting every time you reach for a healthy food option, you’ll need to create new neural pathways to make it feel safe with the new habits you are trying to adopt. That’s why you fail at staying on the wagon. You didn’t have a plan to do the ground work to re-wire your brain In my signature program REPLENISH we focus A LOT on teaching your brain that these new health habits are safe for us. It’s the most powerful tool you can use to get healthy habits to stick. REPLENISH opens for enrollment next week if you can’t wait to dive right in. In the meantime, we are doing a free live Ditch the Junk challenge on January 4th to start the new year on the right foot. Come join us here https://discover.nikkisnutrition.com/ditch-the-junk

By now you've probably seen a ton of posts and comments in here about the REPLENISH program, and how I am helping people change their relationships with food by talking a lot about reprogramming your brain. You can read more about how REPLENISH does that + take advantage of early bird bonuses here https://discover.nikkisnutrition.com/replenish... You might be wondering, how do I ACTUALLY help people connect the information I am giving you and helping you translate those into long term healthy habits? One of the single best things I’ve done as a coach is to invest in specialized training that focuses on exactly how (from a brain perspective) we support positive behavior change long-term. Because, it’s one thing to know WHAT to do, it’s another thing altogether to know HOW to stick with it consistently! Am I right? And, for so many of my clients, this has been the missing piece of the puzzle that has finally unlocked the kind of long-term results they’ve been striving for (sometimes for decades!). My training as a Certified Consistency Coach gives me a unique toolbox that focuses on the true psychological drivers behind supporting behavior change that lasts. It allows me to help my clients with: Reprogramming old habits; Extinguishing cravings; Preventing self-sabotage; And so much more If you’re tired of doing really well with healthy choices all day or all week, only to end up sabotaging yourself at night or on the weekend and feeling discouraged, frustrated and sometimes even hopeless that you’ll ever be able to really changethen REPLENISH is the last program you’ll ever need.

Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments. - Bethenny Frankel

Do your affirmations feel hollow and even silly? That’s because you made the #1 mistake in choosing an affirmation You chose something you don’t actually believe. We dive in deeper into selecting the right affirmations for making habits stick in Module 3 of REPLENISH (which actually opens for enrollment next week!), but for today I want to share a couple of examples so you can start creating better affirmations to create habits that stick. EXAMPLE #1... If you have financial debt, saying I attract financial abundance might be too much of a stretch. Change it to something more believable to you. Maybe say something like I can overcome my credit card debt or I am resourceful. EXAMPLE #2 If you are feeling unwell in your body, then maybe saying I am beautiful is not something you are ready for. Instead, try something like I can feel worthy of feeling beautiful or I am willing to change. It’s subtle, but it makes you feel better. You might need to play around with a few different versions and different words to get it just right. You’ll know you nailed it because you’ll feel it in your whole body. It will feel good and it will feel right. Affirmations are an important tool you can use to create new neural pathways in your brain that will in turn help you create new habits. I’ll be talking more about all this is interconnected starting next week in our Live Ditch the Junk challenge. If you have goals to make 2021 your health year, join us to get a head start https://discover.nikkisnutrition.com/ditch-the-junk Let’s hear it What affirmation feels good to you right now.

You may have heard of the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15, but you might not know that the lists are updated each year! The top 15 foods with the least pesticides are called the Clean 15, while the 12 foods with the most pesticides are called the Dirty Dozen. Basically, you should opt for organic when buying any foods from the Dirty 12 list, but if you're getting any foods from the Clean 15 it's ok to buy conventional.

Frozen blueberries make a delicious sweet snack

Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence. All parts are interconnected. The benefits of a healthy lifestyle are enormous. Nutrition affects your body, your mind, your mood, your appearance, and so much more!

If you ever find yourself saying "I just couldn't help myself" after eating too much junk food, well you might just be right! Food companies spend millions of dollars on research, development and marketing to make junk food highly addictive. There are a few tactics you can incorporate into your daily life to overcome food addiction. Here are just a few of my favourites, that I find most effective:... Keep the healthy stuff handy. Store healthy foods you want to eat more of front and center. Snack foods are easy to dig into - you just rip open a bag. But if you had red peppers or celery all sliced up and ready to go, you might opt for veggies and hummus dip instead. Know your trigger foods. If you know you've got a sweet tooth for chocolate or candy, keep those out of the house. Or maybe you love salty snacks, in which case try to stay away from pretzels and chips. If you find that you eat too many processed carbs, keep pastries and frozen pizza out of your kitchen... You get the point. Break your routine. If you associate your midday work break with a trip to the vending machine (or your junk food drawer if you're working from home), start a tradition to go for a short walk around the neighbourhood instead. You might actually discover that this habit kicks your craving altogether. A 2015 study of 48 people in PLoSOne found that taking a 15-minute walk temporarily reduced cravings for high-calorie, sugary snacks.
