If you follow me on social media, and you should, you would know that I am really working hard on my health. Having two parents that had pretty significant health issues, and being in your mid 40s (gosh, I hate saying that), it puts a lot in perspective. I strongly believe in the saying, “when you know better, you do better” and that is exactly what I am doing. Or trying to do. It’s not perfect, but nothing ever is. Consistency is more important than perfection, in my book. One of the things I am super particular about is what I put into my body. My mom had Alzheimer’s. If you didn’t know, this terrible disease is often referred to Type 3 Diabetes. So, what you put in your body matters. Today I thought I would walk you through what I eat in a day.

You Said Health Problems, What Do You Mean?
Genetics are a pretty messy thing. You have these two parents and even before you can even begin to make your own choices about things, there are just some things that are figured out for you. Some of those things you can’t help or change, but others that you can. I recently had some blood work done and I found out that I have an inherited risk of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, and arterial blockages. Pretty scary thing to find out, but not at the same time. I mean, my dad had all of that. So, I pretty much figured I could end up down the same path as him. “Could” being the operative word. But, while my cholesterol is elevated right now, I do not have any blockages. This is good. Not having blockages means that what I am doing is working.
My mom, on the other hand, had Alzheimer’s aka Type 3 Diabetes. What does that mean? Well, Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease that basically destroys insulin producing cells; Type 2 Diabetes involves insulin resistance which means your body does not know how to process the insulin it produces; and Type 3 Diabetes is a form of insulin resistance in the brain. Currently, I am hovering around Type 2 Diabetes (something my dad had) and it is incredibly frustrating. But, given the things my parents dealt with, it is part of my motivation to do better and not go down that path just because I may have been predestined to before I could make choices. What I eat in a day is a big part of the choices I am making.
So…What Am I Doing About It?
The biggest thing I have incorporated (besides going to the gym) is adding the Plexus Slim and Trim combo to my daily routine. This combo consists of:
- Slim Hunger Control Black Cherry Lime
- Restore
- 2 Balance supplements
Besides adding in that combo, I am prioritizing the following things:
- Protein FIRST at every meal
- Moving my body
- Hydrating well
- Getting my sleep in
- Eating one apple a day
But why? Well, it’s simple. This combo naturally boosts your GLP-1 hormone. For me, the shot is not an option. Given my moms Alzheimer’s, I am incredibly careful about what I put in my body. I am not saying there is a connection with the GLP-1 shots and Alzheimer’s at all. What I am saying is, I prefer natural approaches when at all possible for everything. Thankfully, I have a doctor that respects those wishes and works with me.
What I Eat in a Day
What I eat in a day is going to seem funny to some. I am a creature of habit. So it is not abnormal for me to eat the same thing every day until I get sick of it. Plus, working from home, eating the same thing each day makes things easier for me. My goal for each meal is to eat at least 30-40 grams of protein. So, here is what I eat:
- Breakfast – Chobani 20g protein yogurt and a slice of toast with peanut butter OR a protein shake. With breakfast I also drink water. Sometimes I add my Plexus Hydrate and Plexus Active.
- Late Morning – I add one Plexus Slim Hunger Control and one scoop of Plexus Restore to my shaker bottle. Roughly about 30 minutes before lunch, I take two Plexus Balance.
- Lunch – An Egg Life wrap with shredded chicken, a little G Hughes BBQ sauce, tomato slices, and berries.
- Dinner – Protein pizza is one of my favorite meals. After dinner, I finish with an apple.
If you notice, I do not snack during the day AT ALL. Being that I am in my mid 40s, hovering around Type 2 Diabetes, and entering that lovely perimenopause stage of life, keeping my cortisol lowered helps me to accomplish all that I want to. We don’t want our blood sugar spiking constantly and that’s what happens when you eat every few hours, whether it’s a meal or snacks.
Things I have Noticed
I have been taking this combo and eating this way for about six weeks now or so. The food noise is completely gone! This is the biggest thing to me. I never think about food. Ever. I’m not hungry between meals or feel like I am depriving myself. And the apple after dinner is my favorite part of the day (food wise). So…why the apple? Apples have pectin. Pectin is a natural binder. As the Restore is gently detoxing your body, the pectin in the apple helps to sweep it all away. If you have an apple allergy or just hate apples, eat a raw carrot. They also have pectin.
