The Best Of The Bad Stuff

So you've gone through the Life Reset program and you've found out which foods are causing what reaction to your system. Now it's time to incorporate some of those foods back in. 

I hear it all the time, "I don't want to ever go back to (x) but wouldn't mind having (y) here and there." Of course you are going to want to treat yourself here in there, or go "off plan" for a nice meal or to have your favorite meal. So here is a list of what I call the "best of the bad stuff." For when you need a break and want to splurge a little but not a lot. 

Kerrigold's Irish Butter - When it comes to being lactose intolerant, I am a posterchild. But the quality makes this butter the only butter I can have with no adverse inflammatory reactions.

McCann Steel Cut Oatmeal - I am a huge fan of oatmeal when gearing up for a long day of sitting in my treestand hunting on a cold winter day. If you can hack this grain, it will service a good day of energy.

365 Organic Quinoa - Another good alternative to pasta that does provide a good protein carb ratio.

KIND - If you're going to go bar, and miss that granola feel, check out KIND's low sugar bars. Coming in various varieties, I am always a fan of companies that aren't afraid to list their benifits on the front cover.

Lakewood - Has a variety of cold pressed juices that are amazing.

Terra - If you're going for a chip, these root based veggies are a satisfying healthier choice.

Hail Merry Macaroons - Looking for a sweet treat but not one that will push you over the edge? Check out these macroons, tasteful but also comes with less guilt.

When you’re reading the ingredient list you should be looking for the word ‘whole grain’, which means that the grain is still intact and hasn’t been processed and essentially re-fortified. The very first ingredient on this Ezekiel loaf is 100% whole wheat (a type of whole grain) which will tip you off to the fact that it will probably contain more fiber and also offer more health benefits as a result.

The wholesome added ingredients like flaxseed, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds, this bread boasts a pretty high protein count with 7 grams per slice. Couple that with the 4 grams of fiber and healthy fats from the seeds, and this bread is one that will help fill you up and keep you feeling full
