One of the most important rules when it comes to snacks is simple: Try not to snack. What I mean by that is make sure you are eating enough at your meals. When you eat enough protein, vegetables, healthy fats, and quality carbohydrates, your blood sugar has a chance to stabilize and your body stays in a much better rhythm. If you snack all day long, your blood sugar is constantly being stimulated, which can make it harder for your body to maintain the progress you created during FAST40. That said, life happens. Travel happens. Busy days happen. So this post is for those times when you have already eaten full meals and need a healthy snack option. My Favorite FAST40-Approved Snacks - Apples - Oranges - Frozen berries - Unsweetened apple chips - Sugar-free turkey jerky - Greens Plus Bars - IQ Bars - RXBARs Companies Doing a Great Job A few companies are paying closer attention to ingredients and creating cleaner options without added sugar or artificial sweeteners. One of my favorites is Siete. Their tortillas and chips are great options when you want something cleaner. Thankfully, more companies are starting to create snack options made with real ingredients. What to Look for on the Label Just because something says “sugar-free” does not mean it is healthy. Always check the ingredients. Look for snacks with: - No added sugar - No artificial sweeteners - Real food ingredients If you had to choose, sometimes a small amount of real sugar is a better option than a product loaded with artificial sweeteners.

Hello everyone! Just reporting that I am on day 5 and in the last 2 days I’ve released 7.1lbs. A little back history on my weight loss journey…I was on the Glp-1 shots for about 11 months. I released 15 pounds, slow progress according to most. My practioner changed my medication and upped my dose. I started having very uncomfortable digestive issues and I decided to stop the medication and within a week I gained 5lbs back. The shots were not good for me. I’m looking forward to this journey with Dr. Cody and so far I think he’s in to something!!!

OK many of you know, I love the siete brand. I just found sourdough style tortillas and highly recommend you guys testing and see if your body likes it. This company tends to use minimal ingredients and a lot of their products do not have sugar.

I am on day 12 and down a whopping 9.5 pounds! Never expected this so quickly. I tried on a pair of capris this morning that haven’t fit me in over a year and lo and behold they slid on pretty easily and did up. I am wearing them today, feels good! I am finally on the right path for me! So excited to see where this takes me! Have an awesome day!

I just dropped a video showing you exactly what I pick up when I make the extra drive to Natural Grocers — and trust me, these three are worth it. 1. Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Wraps These are my go-to. Sprouted grains are a completely different animal than regular flour tortillas — higher nutrient content, no blood sugar spike, and they burn slowly in your system. That slow burn is exactly what we want for balanced blood sugar and a fat-burning body. 2. Siete Crispy Taco Shells No corn. That matters. Corn is one of the lowest nutrient-density vegetables out there, so I skip it. Siete was recently acquired by PepsiCo, so the recipe may change down the road — but right now these are still a great option and I’m enjoying them while they last. 3. Cocoa Yo Probiotic Coconut Yogurt If you’re always wondering what to snack on, this is your answer. Low sugar, probiotic-rich, and honestly delicious for both adults and kids. This one checks all the boxes. Watch the full video to see exactly what I grab and why — drop a comment if you’ve tried any of these! 👇
