What’s normal for an eating schedule? We hear everything from snacking every few hours with a couple of bigger snacks for meals to eating a big protein meal in the morning and only carbs at night. What are you to believe? What’s right? In reality, who knows! There is no right way, only a right way FOR YOU. Figuring out your own nutritional / dietary needs can be the challenging part!
I can only share with you how I eat to achieve for optimal brain function and anxiety relief. Eating on a schedule that my allows my body to operate at its best also has yielded other benefits such as losing 55 pounds, increased and ‘mojo’, and age reversal!
My meals include a morning smoothie, mid-morning snack like half an apple with raw almond butter, mid afternoon snack (the other half of the apple with almond butter), dinner that consists of a protein/meat and tons of non-starchy vegetables, dessert is typically a few strawberries or blueberries, and a snack right before bed like a handful of nuts with Ningxia wolfberries.
Eating this way balanced my blood sugar and 6 reasons why I love to eat this way:
1) never becoming ravenously hungry and over eating
2) the adrenals healed by not overworking as they tried to manage erratic blood sugar levels
3) since I like eating, having a snack right around the corner all the time made me feel happy! Yeah, it’s that simple.
4) repairing insulin resistance
5) stopped panic/anxiety attacks
6) losing weight because my cortisol levels were no longer elevated from not eating enough.
Play with your eating schedule. It took me a long time to figure out my groove. I tried eating two or three hours in between snacks. Then I tried eating my heavy meal in the morning and light the rest of the day. What worked for me that set my body right for the day was the super smoothie first thing. If I don’t do that, my hunger levels are all over the place and occasionally I will still have a massive crash!
