Everyone talks about protein for blood sugar and weight loss, but fiber is one thing that 95% of people aren’t getting enough of!

And most people associate fiber with digestion, but did you know that getting enough fiber helps with:
🥳 staying fuller for longer
🥳 consistent energy levels
🥳 stabilizing blood sugars
🥳 lowering inflammation
🥳 decreasing sugar cravings

Aim for at least 25 -30 g per day at the minimum to get these benefits!

Be sure to save this list so you can hit these goals with ease!

Let me know your other fiber favorites in the comments below 👇👇

Here’s the details 👇

Step 1: get to the root of type 2 diabetes (insulin resistance)
Most people focus on cutting carbs and zero in on what they’re eating... but that’s only one piece of the puzzle.

When you target insulin resistance holistically through stress management, sleep quality, exercise, and nutrition, and the right balance of foods, it speeds up the inflammation healing process and your blood sugar responds.

Step 2: Stop cutting carbs
When focusing on nutrition, most people with diabetes are told to cut carbs. That may help initially, but it’s unsustainable for most people and can lead to low energy levels and sugar cravings. Cutting carbs also means you’re likely not getting enough fiber, which is helpful in stabilizing blood sugar and keeping you full.

Instead, balance your carbs with protein, fiber and healthy fat to slow digestion & release of sugar in your blood stream.

Step 3: Stay consistent (and stop obsessing over every meal + bite of food)
Most people jump from plan to plan when things get hard or when they’re not seeing immediate results, but progress is seen over time and one day does not make or break your results.

And when you have a coach in your corner, you stop guessing.

You know exactly what to eat, how to exercise, and when to adjust so you don’t waste weeks doing the wrong thing.

The right coach collapses time by helping you stay consistent, accountable, and moving forward even on the days you’d normally quit.

Client L was told to “count her carbs” and keep walking.

All it did was make her fear carbs and keep her blood sugars swinging from 60s-200s.

We started her on my proven framework and she stabilized her blood sugars and lowered her alc to 6.4!

My September coaching spots are open and I only have 2 spots available!

This is for the woman who wants to lower her alc and break free from fear of food (who hasn’t seen any movement in 6 months)!

What we think demands massive willpower actually really just requires understanding of how your body works.

Your mindless grazing in the evening is a response to not getting enough energy in the beginning of the day because you were “trying to be good” by having a 250 calorie breakfast or skipping it all together.

Your body is telling you that it needs energy!

The good news is that sometimes the fix only takes a simple tweak, like eating more meals throughout the day!

Instead of skipping meals, my client made it her practice to prepare grab-n-go meals (and snacks) to eat throughout the day, which resulted in her feeling full and satisfied. AKA no binging!

Plus she reported her clothes feeling looser, too!

Feeling in control of your food and comfortably full is what you want, isn’t it??

If you want to ditch the binging AND reach your blood sugar targets to finally feel in control around food in time for the holidays, comment “REFRESH” below and let’s chat to see if coaching is the right support for you 🥳

You might feel like it’s a willpower problem, like it’s a YOU problem that you have sugar cravings.

But it’s likely much deeper than that!

If you have sugar cravings or cravings in general, it tells me that you just might have insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation.

Especially if you find that you’re hungry again just after you eat something starchy or sweet

Cutting carbs and muscling through the cravings to “get more willpower” is probably what you’re trying, but this is likely intensifying your cravings

Instead, you need to get to the ROOT of your cravings (insulin resistance) to finally root out those cravings for good!

And that’s exactly what one of my clients did to reduce her binging/restricting cycle in just 6 weeks without cutting carbs or strict diets

She nourished her body with protein, fiber, fat, and yes, carbs too, to stabilize her blood sugars and energy levels and reported little to no overindulgences!

If you’re ready for MORE energy, LESS cravings, and feeling like a million bucks in your body again by summer time, then comment BREAKTHROUGH below and let’s see if coaching is a mutually good fit 🥳

SAVE this for future reference and/or SHARE with someone who needs it!

Did you know that your mouth can reveal quite a bit about your health??

And dentists play a big role in diabetes management too!
Here are a few signs from your mouth indicating that your blood sugars may need a little TLC:
🪥 sore mouth
🪥 red gums
🪥 bad breath
🪥 loose teeth and/or losing teeth
🪥 food particles frequently getting stuck

Be sure to share with your dentist about your blood sugars and past history with diabetes so they can specifically help you care for and protect your pearly whites.

Managing your blood sugars is key for oral health and your stress levels!

She was doing everything “right”...
✔️ Eating high-protein and counting her carbs
✔️ Checking her post meal blood sugars and managing with medications
✔️ Walking 3 miles daily plus an hour of spin

And somehow, she didn’t see any changes in her blood sugars or weight.

Her post meal numbers were >200s despite having a separate meal from her family

😔 She felt exhausted in the afternoons
😔 Her clothes felt the same even with her daily exercise

Because here’s what no one tells you:
Eating high protein alone might temporarily lower your blood sugar, but in the long term your body will convert the protein to sugar for energy (gluconeogenesis). And focusing on protein isn’t the magic bullet nutrition strategy you need to see the needle move.

It wasn’t until we reviewed her food diary, blood sugar logs, and daily habits - then she realized everything she was doing was completely backwards for HER.

Her blood sugars were above target not because she ate carbs, but HOW she ate them.
And her waistline wasn’t budging not because she wasn’t exercising, but she was exercising TOO intensely while her body was stressed.

If you can’t even remember a time when your blood sugars were
