Homemade Ranch

Listen, I know you’ve been told to skip the creamy dressings, but I’m here to tell you that you can add those delicious dressings back into your life! (cue fireworks and enthusiastic applause)My Homemade Ranch is a huge hit in my Best You Plan! It’s free of inflammatory oils and full of flavor. It’s honestly so good I can guarantee you’re going to stick a mason jar of it in your purse and carry it to the restaurant…..Yes- I’ve done that. No – you can’t judge me.

Diets Don’t Work: 3 Things You Can Start TODAY to Change Your Metabolism    Get the Guide »

Hey there! My name is Katie Vigesaa.

I get what it’s like to struggle with your metabolism. You see, I’m not one of those naturally thin nutritionists. The ones that tell you to eat how they eat because well, they are thin, and the assumption is if you eat like they do, then you too, will be thin. Looking back, though, I think my stubborn metabolism has been a blessing!

I’d love to get to know you better! Read more »

I think of Keto (bulletproof) coffee as a way to m I think of Keto (bulletproof) coffee as a way to mimic the effects of fasting, but gives your brain a boost of energy + ketones from the MCT oil (and caffeine). 

It's coffee + MCT oil + butter (preferably from grass-fed cows). Since it's just fats, it has zero impact on your insulin levels. This is wonderful news if you are someone trying to lower your blood sugars, insulin resistance, and manage your insulin to help with sustainable weight loss.

It's a wonderful form of "training wheels" to get you feeling balanced and entering the wonderful world of intermittent fasting.
True hunger vs. cravings/blood sugar hunger. Ther True hunger vs. cravings/blood sugar hunger.

There's a difference between honoring your hunger and feeding yourself nourishing, delicious foods and on the flip side,  being controlled by cravings and panic hunger 

Know that I'm never food shaming - just shedding light on certain health situations.

normal hunger gradually builds overtime. you can be in a state of feeling your hunger cues growing, but calmly make yourself some food and eat it. This state of hunger doesnt feel rushed nor panicked. It'ss not because you have great willpower here, it's because your blood sugars are balanced and you have a flexible metabolism, meaning your body can start to accesa stored fat to keep you fueled and energized while you prepare yourself food.

Craving and blood sugar hunger is different. This is where you have very dramatic swings and once you get hungry, you get HANGRY! you go from 0 to 60. You need to eat and you need to eat NOW! this feeling might happen to you several times a day. 

This is usually due to drastic blood sugar swings and having an inflexible metabolism. It's when your body only knows how to run off of quick sugars and food energy and not able to tap into reserves. This can also happen because of sluggish liver processes. This sort of hunger makes it very difficult to make healthy decisions when the hunger hits.. because of a blood sugar dip, you crave quick fuel sources like chips, crackers, cereal, or sweets. 

Think about it: when you've felt hunger hit like that, did you want to eat the cereal or the salad?

Yes, honor your hunger and feed yourself nourishing foods, but dont assume the massive hunger crazes are normal. I've had many clients change their blood sugar and metabolisms to create a more balanced hunger. There's another way ❤️ and it doesnt mean having more willpower or denying your hunger. Eat nourishing foods.
Changing our habits and doing the work it takes to Changing our habits and doing the work it takes to become our healthiest selves isn't without challenge. In fact, I can pinky promise you that there will be low points where you'd rather return to your comfortable roots. 

In the beginning, it's harder.

It's harder to make healthy meals for yourself than it is to order a pizza.

It's harder to choose to drink some tea instead of just snacking on chips at night.

It's harder to choose the healthy protein snack over the cookies and vanilla latte. 

But what is challenging in the beginning, with practice, becomes easier.

Don't give up when it's tough. Dig in your heels and remind yourself you're worth it. Grace on the days that don't go as planned (that's life!) But choose to not give up. An inch of progress is still progress. You. Can. Do. This 👏🏼🎉

Then you head to bed in a food coma and wake up overstuffed, so you barely eat anything during the day, only to start the cycle all over? Scroll through to get insight how to help this cycle. Share if this helps you or would help someone you know.
