THE OBESITY CODE

If you feel trapped, like you’ll have to diet for the rest of your life, read this book. It’s not you! It’s years of bad information. This book has changed the way I look at eating. After reading it, I started intermittent fasting and my weight loss journey. It has changed my relationship with food!

THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO FASTING

This book provides a more practical approach to everything you’ve learned with The Obesity Code. It’s the more practical follow-up to the research filled first book. This one  includes a How-To  guide and delicious recipes.

EAT DIRT

This book was instrumental in helping me understand the importance of balancing healthy bacteria in the gut. Once I started eating fermented foods and taking probiotics, years of feeling “off” started to improve.

CHOLESTEROL CLARITY

High cholesterol has your doctor and everybody else telling you that you’re at risk of heart problems? Me too. This book provides a much better understanding of cholesterol and the true signs of heart attack risk.

GREEN TEA

I’m a tea person, and this is one of my favorite tea flavors to drink every morning while I fast. There are so many benefits to drinking green tea! It can help you lose weight as part of a healthy routine and can decrease the risk of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

ORGANIC COCONUT FLOUR

This organic coconut flour is my go-to for healthier baking recipes. But, be careful with your flour ratios! This post shows you how to adjust your coconut flour to regular flour ratios for healthy baking. I use it in many of my healthy bakes recipes.

ALMOND FLOUR

Perfect for high fat low carb healthy recipes. I use it for baked goods and as breading for healthy chicken nuggets. The possibilities are endles! This is another must-have healthy flour for your pantry.

XANTHAM GUM

If you feel like baked goods with coconut and almond flour are too dense, or lack fluffiness, Xantham gum will solve your problem. It’s a healthy way to add elasticity to your baked goods.

VITAMIX BLENDER

My Vitamix blender is another favorite kitchen appliance. I’ve had it for 6 years and still use it almost every day. You can make smoothies, soups, and even cake batter! Throw in a whole apple and you won’t even feel the seeds, they’ll be pulverized.   

OXO MANDOLIN

Got this mandolin as a wedding gift. I use to slice fruits and veggies to make chips and casseroles. You can see mine in this easy cinnamon apple chips recipe. Wouldn’t make my zucchini lasagna without it. Slice a whole zucchini in seconds!

INSTANT POT

One of the best Christmas gifts my husband and I have gotten! Need healthy meal planning and quick meals? An instant pot will be one of your favorite tools. There’s a reason this tool so popular. Do a quick search for IP recipes, you’ll see what I mean.

ANOVA SOUS VIDE COOKER

Imagine cooking any type of protein to perfection. The same goes for veggies. You don’t even need to know how to cook. You can cook the juiciest meats and most delicious foods with this precision cooker. With Wi-Fi, you can cook even when you’re not home.

ASICS GEL NIMBUS

If you have a high arch and high impact workouts, like running, become painful, the Asics Gel Nimbus model absorbs the impact. During marathon training years ago, I had horrible foot pain after every run because of my high arches. I’ve been wearing these since 2005 with no more pain.

FITBIT 

I’ve been using a fitbit for years now. I find it to be very motivating to get up, move, and work out. It’s a little addicting. You almost feel like you didn’t work out if you didn’t track it one day. Love this thing! Track your workouts, food, sleep, heart rate, steps, and other health items. It’s a great way to track your progress. 

YOGA MAT

Whether you’re into yoga or not, a yoga mat is a workout essential. This one has a lot of cushion, perfect for low impact floor workouts on the floor. Do yoga, abs, weights, or stretching on this comfortable mat.

WATER BOTTLE

I originally got a BKr water bottle in one of my fabfitfun boxes. I love it! Though it’s made of glass, the silicone sleeve protects it. It keeps me hydrated and, well, fashionable too.
