Weekly challenge
Make one or two Homemade desserts this week from our Decadent Desserts recipe list. Remember to listen to your body, eat mindfully, savor every bite – and really notice how you feel when you eat your Homemade dessert. Try to find that happy place where you feel Nourished & Satisfied – but not overly full.
NOW SHARE YOUR PROGRESS IN THE HOMEMADE MEMBERS’ FACEBOOK GROUP BY ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS:
1. Did you complete last week’s challenge of enjoying a Homemade Snack every weekday? Post your pics in our Facebook Group and let us know what you made!
What did you make? Did you enjoy your Homemade snacks? Reflect on how your Homemade snacks were different to your normal snacks in terms of health benefits, how much you ate or how you felt after? Is this something you could keep up with doing? Upload photos of your Homemade snacks in our FB Group!
2. Are you addicted to sugar? Can you say no and stop when you want to? Read some other Members’ posts in our Facebook Group and notice if their experiences are very similar to yours! Feel free to add 2 comments to your peers’ posts.
How much of a role would you say sugar plays in your health & weight? What are some strategies you have tried to beat your sugar cravings – what have you found works for you & what doesn’t? Have you noticed any changes to your sugar cravings since starting the Homemade Program and enjoying more Homemade whole food meals?
BUILD ON IT: Continue to enjoy Homemade Smoothies, Breakfasts, Salads & Snacks as a normal part of your cooking and eating routine, adding fresh herbs & spices wherever possible. Continue to practice searing, roasting in your oven, cooking grains & using flavor combining principles.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS:
- Making & enjoying your own Homemade dessert is a fun treat so enjoy this challenge!
- Substitute your Homemade desserts for anything you normally buy for dessert. And if you currently have candy, ice cream or sweets at home then this is a good time to clear them out of your cupboard. You can always buy a single serve as a special occasion – or better yet, make your own version at home. But it’s best to avoid temptation by not stocking those things at home.
- We recommend you stock peeled frozen bananas, almonds, dates & cacao at home – as there are a tons of desserts which you can make from these 4 ingredients, and other common ingredients you are likely to have at home.. These ingredients taste rich, decadent & sweet but are loaded with beneficial nutrients, antioxidants and minerals.
- Remember: Nutrient dense foods can still be high in calories. So watch your serving sizes and enjoy mindfully!
