Yummy lunch or dinner salad: What I Eat

in Cleanse, Health Tips, Naked Nutrition, Recipes, Renee's BLOG, What I eat, Winning Sugar on 03/31/16

Hello there, I hope you have had a good week so far. I have been getting so many messages from you about dinner and what to eat. Since so many of you are asking what I eat every day,  I am going to start posting more meal ideas for you. 

I eat very healthy and I don’t really eat anything that comes in a box, if I do, it’s pretty rare.  Of course, I have my moments and allow for some fun splurges, but as a general rule I keep the foods clean that go into my body. It’s my fuel.
As a recovering sugar addict, I also know that I gotta get in my meals because skipping them or snacking on small stuff (because I didn’t prepare) is what drives up sweet and carb cravings.  Plus, I get pretty cranky and tend to feel cloudy when I don’t feed myself good meals, so I make it a priority.  I choose a ton on “healthy fat” foods, because I know I won’t crave sweets as much this way and it works!  

I eat 3 meals a day and sometimes 4 and I know that for me, eating something for breakfast that gives me some of that healthy fat and protein is essential.

Healthy fats are things like avocado, nuts and seeds, nut butters (like almond butter, sunflower butter or cashew butter with no sugar added), olive oil, salmon, sardines, coconut oil, chia seeds, hemp seeds, eggs.

I love quinoa for a little extra oomph when I eat salads because sometimes a salad just doesn’t fill me up.  Quinoa is pronounced (Keen-Wa) and it’s actually a seed and super high in protein and nutrients. I think it makes things more lively, especially salads.

Here is the thing though, although breakfast is that “most important meal”, dinner tends to be where people go off the rails a bit.  So maybe dinner is more important to focus on if that is you… I actually met with a new client this morning who said to me, “Renee, dinner is my nightmare!”  I could relate to her.  If I don’t plan ahead for dinner, then that’s when ordering out happens or we throw something together that isn’t quite what the body needs.  This is not the worst thing to do now and then, but when it becomes a habit to order pizza, eat out , eat popcorn for dinner or eat frozen meals, that’s when our bodies start getting unhealthy. 

One of the reasons I want to share this salad is because it is the “left-over salad” – I made it with everything left in the fridge and it took very little time. 

In another blog, I will talk about healthy dessert ideas for those who have a sweet tooth, but for today, I want to share this salad I just made – use it for lunch or dinner. It feels hardy and filling and because it’s full of good healthy fats and nutrients, you are far less likely to crave after it.

Lunch or Dinner Salad

1 handful of spinach

1 handful of arugula

1/4 cup shredded carrot

1/4 cup shredded cucumber

Tablespoon pumpkin seeds

I egg (optional or sub in salmon)

1/3 cup quinoa

1/4 of an avocado

1 fig, sliced (I happened to have this in my fridge and it sounded yummy to add a little sweet)

1 teaspoon tahini sauce (crushed sesame seeds, garlic, lemon juice and water) – make your own or buy at Trader Joe’s

1 tablespoon olive oil

lemon (one squeeze)

¼ tsp himalayan pink salt

Options: Again, I call this the Left-Over-Salad. Add any nuts, seeds, veggies that you like.

2016-03-31_12-57-13-300x192Instructions:

Build the salad – add all of the veggie ingredients (make it look pretty – that helps!)

Cook the egg or add the salmon

Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top

Add the fig or fruit (optional)

Add the sea salt to the top of the salad

Add the squeeze of lemon

Add olive oil and tahini sauce and mix everything together.

Enjoy!

This salad can be a full meal and has a bunch of healthy fats and flavors in it. It’s wonderful for satisfying deep cravings.

Good morning ☀️ Good morning ☀️
When I look back on my life and consider the relat When I look back on my life and consider the relationships I attracted back then (that happened to be the most toxic or trauma bonded) it was for two big reasons.

1) unconscious seeking for security in things/people/sources outside of me.

Old Belief: “Once I have this, I will be safe. I will feel secure, everything will be okay”

Our security and safety come mostly from within. Certainly, more money or the next “magic pill” or quick fix or relationship can inspire some security, for a while...

It will not last or it will feel like a toxic relationship for as long as we are not Sourced in security and grounded within ourself. 

Note: we often need to look at the “bully’s, emotional abusive or passive aggressive relationships to see this. 
This could be with others or with yourself! Yes, you can “bully” yourself.

2) using things outside of me to cope due to dysregulated nervous system. (This is often not conscious to us at first)

Old belief: “once I have this it will help me “feel better”

These coping mechanisms work for a short while, until they do not anymore. 

(Food, the next “diet or workout plan”, the next shopping spree or purchase, drugs, alcohol, work, relationship, pharmaceuticals, etc)

We won’t be able to hold these things with any balance with a nervous system and emotional system that is dysregulated. 

Your nervous system is a complex network of neurons...
Basically, it’s the control center of your body!

All of your muscles, glands, sensations, smells, hearing, taste, touch, higher self are telling your body what to do.

Your nervous system is interpreting your body’s responses constantly.

We use things outside of us to try and regulate when we feel “out of balance” and sometimes those things just don’t serve us.

The crazy thing is: we will think the solution is in this “thing we need to have ASAP” and the solution we seek actually has nothing to do with “the thing”.

We’ve been taught the wrong way. 
Answers to things rarely come from outside of us.

Many of us were not taught about our nervous system and how it’s impacted by childhood trauma and how it’s the core reason we create a lot of the situations we are in (good or bad).
👇🏽👇🏽
Fantastic question....? Because big profits do no Fantastic question....?

Because big profits do not historically come from healthy people (when it comes to selling the anecdotes to their pain, anyway)

Because healthy people aren’t as easy to manipulate.

Because individuals with strong immune systems need less pharmaceuticals. This impacts Big Pharma’s profits and entire way of business.

Because mandating (I actually don’t like that word, but it works here) ... mandating vitamins and minerals would empower health and individual choice to choose health for one self.  Large corporations selling big pharmaceuticals, large amounts of sugar, fast food and factory and processed foods do not want empowered people because they are harder to sell to.
And big government structures that are run by unethical people can manipulate people who are vitamin deficient, because they get sicker more quickly.
What if your desire to get the lasting results you What if your desire to get the lasting results you’ve always wanted with your life (food, body, relationships, financial) was not about giving more attention to these things? 

What if your attention to the boring nothingness of life began to outweigh the attention you give to all the things you want right now?

Sounds silly, right?! 
Maybe backwards from what we've been taught culturally. 

We were taught to break free from life-long patterns of discontent by consuming information outside of us: learning, doing, pushing, striving.

And yet, it's not working so well, right?  At least not long-term. 

There is a place for education outside of us, yes, however, it doesn't do much for a nervous system that cannot hold the complexity of how we want to grow and evolve within that education and new wisdom.

People are trying to learn to "be still" and calm down their anxiety and maybe even meditate but their bodies cannot hold it yet. 
They struggle! 

So when your physical body and nervous system regulates...
 
Your whole game is changed as you learn to be with yourself. 
To be in your body, with your emotions and nervous system differently than you ever have before. 

Then your system can hold the capacity for the change you have always wanted. 

Make sense?

Love,
Renee

(I know, I’m posting a day late)

After taking a purposeful and committed 2 years off of dating and romantic relationships, I opened myself up to dating last year (a 2020 version of it, 😉 ). 

During that time, a friend reached out to me and asked if he could give my phone number to a single friend of his.
I said yes. 
After a while, it felt strange to date others, so I stopped. 

Now, 7 months later and I don’t want to hide now 😉 

Meet Matt. ❤️ We are extremely compatible in all the ways and have so much fun together. Our purposes feel aligned and so does our relationship. So now you know ✨
