Read moreTwenty Seventeen is here, but still at the airport.
Landed but not disembarked and yet to claim a few bags (no year is baggage free). By the time 2017 has passed customs and gone through the usual airport arrival rigmarole and found a ride home, then it'll be Feb and you'll be ready....er.
You'll be readier.
It's taken me a while to figure this out, but: I think readiness is another one of those things that never can be. A glorious fallacy, a wasteful preoccupation. An illusion like that 'water' in the hot road on the horizon- always out there in front, never closer.
For some January is an entire month of Mondays.
I've resolved to see January as the savasana of the holidays - the 30-day corpse pose to assimilate all of the stuff, effortlessly, and to focus less on what has to change and more on what may, by all means, stay the same.
According to new research mindfulness can sharpen a person’s ability to recognize internal cues that signal hunger and fullness.
In a 2016 study, researchers taught people a short body scan meditation that primes them to become more aware of their own body. They found that practicing mindfulness and specifically paying mindful attention to body sensations is related to a more constant body weight in a sample of the general population.

Whether you want to manage your weight, curb cravings, have better energy levels or do your part to prevent carb-driven metabolic disorders like diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease, eating enough protein throughout the day is where to start.
Proteins are made of tiny molecules called amino acids that form the building blocks of just about everything in our bodies. Muscles, skin, hair, hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters (brain messengers) - all rely on adequate protein in the diet.
Eggs, Fish, Meat, Lentils, Beans, Seeds, Nuts, Natto, Kefir, Raw Milk, Raw Cheese are some good dietary sources.
From a digestion and structural point of view, proteins are more complex and take longer to be broken down than carbohydrates, so eating protein keeps you fuller for longer, fills you up faster, slows down the release of glucose into the bloodstream, and prevents the energy dips that we get from eating high-carb (or carb-only) meals (read: cereal and milk, a sandwich, a fruit juice, a store-bought 'health' bar).
One of the first things I get my clients to do when I start working with them, is to make (and enjoy) plant-based protein smoothies. It's a very quick, easy and delicious way to get a LOT of nutrients into your body with minimal effort.
I always add whole -food proteins like nuts and seeds but sometimes you need a little extra protein, which is where shakes come in.

WINNER?
In my view, a mix of rice and pea protein is the winning combo. Together these two sources make up the full spectrum of essential amino acids, while being vegan, and free of common irritants like casein, lactose, gluten, or soy.
Bioavailaibiltiy is also an important consideration. Most plant-based protein powders are only about 30-50% bioavailable, at best. Meaning that your body can only absorb and utilize about half the protein content. This is why it's important to keep your diet varied and not to rely only on on shakes.
