Are there simple steps to staying healthy and not worry about the food supply?

The short answer - YES!🍒

 

Many people have been following me for a decade and already knew how to be prepared. 

 

Yet, we never expected it to happen!

 

For me it was just fun preparing food - in case of......
 

Well, now that my prepper skills have proven beneficial we step into the second phase of being prepared.

 

I want to share tips to healthy eating when food may be scarce.

 

It was a FOMO effect this past weekend. While I was visiting Chicago and having a great time - everyone else was carting away Walmart!

 

I felt like I was missing out - hence - FOMO fear of missing out.

So today my first day back to a normal routine took me to the store to see the damage only to find almost every shelf mostly stocked.

 

It was almost disappointing that I missed the circus.😆

 

Yet, as I drove home past the Tyson plant there were few cars in the parking lot. This means we may still be in a crises with food.

 

If production does not keep up with demand then food may be scarce.  I am not sharing this for scare tactics - that is not how I work.
 

I am sharing because I want you to learn the tips for healthy eating with limited food.

 

The purpose of these tips are these three reasons:

These tips all come down to discipline. I have several videos on discipline on YouTube - here is How to be Disciplined that will be very helpful in this un-chartered season.

 

Tips

1.Eat 20 % less food.

 

I speak mostly to Americans since I know them best. But this tip applies to many cultures. I am sure those of you in UK will agree.

90% of all adults and most children can reduce all eating by 20% and their body will respond with greater energy and clarity.

 

2. No Snacking between meals
No snacking between meals allows the digestive system to process the previous meal and thoroughly digest.

 

This allows the pancreas and liver to balance insulin, utilize effectively all glucose and lessen the need to store fat.  When the digestive system is allowed to 'fast' for 4 hours the storage of fat is almost null. Hmmmm.

 

3. Keep Protein and Fiber the mainstay at each meal.

 

As you know I am the queen of fiber. All the videos will attest to this.  Fiber builds the microbiome which creates a delightful conversation through the vagus nerve and into the brains.

 

This conversation lessens stress and creates a resiliency of peace.

 

The stress of dealing with the Covid crises can interfere with the digestive process. This means CONSTIPATION!  So eating a high fiber diet will keep all processes moving!

 

The satiety of protein and fiber at each meal will assists the 4 hour fasting window between meals. PLUS fiber helps prevent most digestive problems and therefore mental issues.

 

Think to yourself: constipation = leads to depression!

 

4. Time to implement FASTING!  Yes, it started in the Bible and it continues today to be the best healing option!❤️

 

Fasting creates a mental benefit including a calming effect, the ability to focus on priorities and a generalized improvement in mental functioning!

 

Fasting also lowers cholesterol, lowers high blood pressure, relieves pain from arthritis and reduces body mass index!🍇

Start with fasting the 4 hours between meals.

Then fast from evening till breakfast for a minimum of 12 hours.

Then extend your fast to 14 hours, then 16 hours.

 

This would look like: 

Eat dinner and finish at 6:30 pm.

 

Eat the next meal at 12 noon.

This would be a 17.5 hour fast.

 

Your body will sing - Hallelujah!🎶

 

NOT FOR EVERYONE: this tip on fasting is for those of you who are not dealing with diabetes or autoimmune issues.

Yet even these issues can do a 4 hour fast and a 20% reduction in eating.

 

Summary of these tips - eat less food, eat high quality foods and reach a new level of discipline in your walk with the Lord.
