Gluten Free tortillas!

I am one happy camper tonight! 21 Day Fix approved burritos are in the oven! I've been waiting for ever for the Boise stores to get these tortillas! And no, I don't do gluten free as some sort of fad diet, just in case you were wondering. I have an autoimmune disease and suffer from IBS when I don't eat a certain way, which includes (mostly) dairy free, gluten free, and LOW sugar.  Now, while these aren't "technically" clean eating, I can't have the whole wheat tortillas, so...  Sometimes, you just have to do what you have to do! 

Meal Prep tip!

Handy little tip for you! Costco has rotisserie chicken for $5. It's a perfect way to get some protein portioned out for lunches! Grab some chicken, some snack size baggies, and put 4 ounces of chicken and stick it in the freezer. Do the same with some veggies, and maybe some rice(yup, you can freeze rice) and you have some instant healthy lunches ready to go! #mealprep #eathealthy

Low fat vs Full fat... The award goes to...

I'm obviously on a roll about sugar this week. So here is another little tidbit for you. If you are eating things like cottage cheese and sour cream, go for the full fat version. LOWFAT = Chemicals added... Here is an example of full fat cottage cheese and low fat cottage cheese. See the difference in the ingredient list? 

Now, because I advoate cutting sugar does NOT mean I think people should use sugar substitutes, those are EVEN worse for you than regular sugar, STAY away! 

If you are worried about cholesterol in full fat dairy, not to worry. Studies have shown no correlation between cholesterol in food and cholesterol in your body. It's all genetics, not food related. Full fat dairy means they aren't adding in nasty chemicals to make it taste like it's full fat. Way better to have the fat as part of a healthy diet, than chemicals any day.
