When I was in my 20’s overweight, upset and ready to change my life – I went on a diet. Little did I realize at the time, that diets do not produce long lasting results – for my body, for my health or for my mental state. This is why I think it’s important to demystify the latest diet trends to help people see through the lies they promise. One of the biggest trends in the diet world right now is KETO. Here’s what I’ve uncovered for you…  What is the Keto diet? The word “keto” comes from the word “ketosis” – which is a metabolic state that your body can go into to efficiently burn fat when you dramatically reduce the amount of carbohydrates you consume. In the Keto diet, it is typical for fat to make up about 70%  of what you eat. Your remaining diet on Keto is roughly 15-25% protein and 5% carbs. These amounts vary a bit by person, but carbs are severely restricted to fewer than 50 grams per day (some need to go as low as 5-15 grams to reach ketosis). To put this in pers...

I was on a run the other day with coach John on Aaptiv when he started talking about purpose . As he asked me if I was running with purpose, I thought it would make an excellent 2019 Word of the Year. 2017 – Intentional 2018 – Vulnerable 2019 – Purpose This year I will be splitting my time between the following, in this order of priority. Caring for a baby Playing with a kindergartener Running a household (putting this in because laundry, food prep, packing lunches, and emptying the dishwasher are always time sucks!) Working on all things Kath Eats Real Food Self care (workouts, me time) Of course there are more categories of life, but these are the big ones. As I emerge from my self-proclaimed “maternity leave,” I know I need to get a good time management schedule underway. I am still not sure if this will involve child care or not. I want to do it all, but I know a little help goes a tremendously long way. I have started planning out my days in TeuxDeux including det...

Hi, friends! With the new year officially here, I wanted to share some of the macro-friendly vegetarian recipes that I plan to add back into my weekly rotation. After FULLY enjoying the holiday season, my body is craving much more nutritious meals. Anyone else? Of course, the fun part about taking a break from macro-counting and meal prep is that I always feel excited to jump back into a routine with more intentional eating habits (aka fewer cookies and more veggies)! 🙂 Now that we’re back to our usual morning routine, planning ahead is a must for me. On the top of my list is starting my day with a breakfast that keeps me satisfied all morning long. I find that if I focus on including protein, it prevents me from digging through the kitchen cabinets at 10:00 AM. This recipe round-up includes some of my favorite high-protein, vegetarian, and egg-free breakfasts that I rely on again and again. If you’re vegetarian (or vegan), it’s not always easy to find a high-protein, egg-free ...

Bye bye tree!! Thomas and I took the Christmas decor down this weekend. I am loving how open the room is again, obviously. She was a good tree, but 3 weeks is plenty of bonding time with her We’ve been doing lots of indoor crafts this week – Play Doh drive-thru, slime making, drawings. We had visits from Uncle John and Uncle Dave! (Thomas’s friends) The above was this weekend at Kardinal Hall where we went to meet up with friends. B took a pumped bottle and slept in the Solly for a good part of the time. Mazen and I played Uno! (Hairstyle by Matt…!) M also played well with the other kiddos in our group outside. ( This card holder is a must for kids!) I had a salad with a sausage on top for an early dinner. Sausage isn’t a very pretty salad topper – lol! Typical breakfast display. Daily Harvest smoothie , coffee, pump, computer. Typical lunch display: ROOTS!!! I gotta have a bowl at least once a week since discovering the satellite pick-up spot. A bowl is $10 and lasts ...

Happy New Year everyone!!! I love new years, and the older I get, the more I appreciate it. There is just something about that feeling of a new start. Starting fresh with a blank slate. A brand new… Read more → from The Gracious Pantry http://bit.ly/2VnJifK
