Tips for Cutting Sugar & Carbs, Episode #7

Dietitian Jessica Dogert, and Health Coach Marisa Moon walk you through tips for cutting bread, ways to bust a craving, and how to swap sugary treats for other satisfying ones.

Flour-based foods like bread and pasta were not intended to be a dietary staple. Our body is simply not equipped to handle so many grains and carbs at every meal. 

Tips for cutting bread: When you cut out processed and flour-based foods, it’s only doable when you replace them with more vegetables. LOTS more vegetables. You’ll start eating a lot of foods in a bowl, or sandwich contents on top of a salad instead of between two slices of bread. You can even replace your morning oatmeal with butternut squash, or you’ll replace your breakfast cereal with a bowl of paleo granola. Yum. (check out Marisa's Butternut Squash Breakfast Bowl recipe on MyLongevityKitchen.com)

The new way to satisfy cravings is healthy fats like full fat coconut milk, grass-fed butter, coconut butter, macadamia nuts, avocado, and more. 

If you do eat bread, keep it to once a day and choose your breads wisely. Research shows certain types of bread provide some special health benefits. These three rise above the rest: Organic Fermented Sourdough Bread. Make sure you're buying the real deal sourdough, not some cheap store-bought sourdough made with preservatives and short-cut factory methods. (try a gluten-free version we love called Bread Srsly); Organic Sprouted Whole Grain Bread; Amazing Bunz: They're low carb, Paleo, keto, and grain free!

Programs mentioned include: Whole30, Paleo, The Blood Sugar Solution, 21DaySugarDetox
