Whole30 Tip // Avocado Oil

Avocado oil has an exceptionally high smoke point. Cooking with oils at temperatures above their set smoke point can create trans fats – a leading contributor to heart disease, cancer and other chronic health conditions. Using a cooking oil with a high smoke point prevents toxins, radicals and decomposed materials from ending up in your food. When oil is heated past its smoke point it begins to break down creating those unhealthy characteristics. Avocado oil has a smoke point of 500 degrees, making it safe to cook with at very high temperatures. Info from chosenfoods.com

Whole30 // Before & After Round Two (Good Morning America Segment)

Welp, just sent these whole30 before & after pics off to Good Morning America and I might have started crying. I'm nervous. I don't know why they chose to spotlight me, I am still in the middle of my weight loss journey with a ways to go. I am far from perfect. My "after" shots are probably worse than many people's "before" - I am scared when the segment airs people will react with "HER?! you wanted HER to showcase your program?" I know there are women out there with rock hard whole30 abs that might 'sell' the program better than I could. However, I do think I represent a lot of women. Women who are trying the best they can with long days and busy lives. Women who have grown babies in their bellies, who don't know if all the work in the world will ever bring back the tummies of their twenties. Women who are growing older and realizing with age comes a new form of woman. Even though I'm scared out of my mind-I am proud to help represent that woman. SO LET'S DO THIS.
