{HMW} Thinking about lunch while you’re still eating breakfast?
|
Dear Reader, Have you ever thought about what you're going to eat for lunch while you're still eating breakfast? Have you ever promised yourself to eat less tomorrow because you allowed yourself a dessert? Ever stand in front of the pantry debating how many bites of something you'll let yourself have? This chatter is what people call food noise, which is the background hum of thoughts about food, often internalized by diet culture Some days are louder than others. I made a Food Noise Scorecard so that you can check in on how loud it is in the current moment. It’s a short PDF you fill out on your screen, with clickable boxes and lines you can type on. I’m also trying a new Kit feature this week. Reply to this email with the word NOISE and the scorecard will land in your inbox automatically. It’s still in beta, so if nothing shows up after a few minutes, check your promotions and spam folders, then reply and let me know. Note: you need to first download the PDF to your computer before it is editable. Ready for the Food Noise scorecard? Reply with the keyword NOISE to this email now!

These Root Foods dried Zucchini chips Ingredient Spotlight: Oatmeal Can I wax poetic a bit about oats? Would it shock you to know I have oatmeal for breakfast almost every single day? So comforting, so yummy and so many ways to use this healthy ingredient. Oats are filled with soluble fiber in the form of beta-glucan which makes it a great gut-health food. It's also high in important minerals like manganese, phosphorus & magnesium. It also has a specific antioxidant in the polyphenol family called avenantarhmid that has been shown to help lower blood pressure. Please enjoy these two recipes featuring oats on our food blog!
