Maybe The Pioneer Woman, life on a ranch, comfort food, cookbooks…but probably not healthy food. Since we like to lean into loads of seasonal produce mixed with some lean protein and healthy fats the majority of the time, we likely won’t be making her most popular recipes like Chicken Fried Steak with Gravy, Pizza Rolls and Salted Caramel Frosted Brownies every night....

They certainly satisfy your craving (temporarily), but then you’re hungry again in an hour or so....

3-Day Low-Carb Vegetarian Meal Plan: 1,200 Calories Going low-carb if you’re a vegetarian takes a little bit of strategy to make sure you’re still getting the nutrients you need each day. Following a low-carb diet means you’ll be reducing otherwise healthy carbs like whole grains, beans, starchy vegetables and fruits that provide important nutrients in place of animal protein. To make sure you’re still getting the nutrients you need, we tailored this meal plan to be low in carbs, but not so low that you’d miss out on those important nutrients, which research suggest is a more effective way to meet your health and weight-loss goals when compared to very-low carb diets (we aim for ~100 grams carbohydrates daily)....

These changes are designed for our survival and occur as part of the body’s stress response which works like this:...

I have a ton of sweet potatoes from my CSA right now, but I’m not complaining.
