FOR BUSY WEEKNIGHTS

When I went looking for a vitamin supplement, I wanted one that came from the
same organic, nutritious foods that I eat daily. Much to my surprise, that didnt exist.
So I set out to create exactly what I wanted: An organic, whole food, Non-GMO
Project Verified, vegan supplement.

NON
GMO

I partnered with Garden of Life because we share the same vision.


We put our hearts and minds together to produce an amazing vitamin line.

What is Clean Eating?


The soul of clean eating is consuming food the
way nature delivered it, or as close to it as
possible. It is not a diet; its a lifestyle approach
to food and its preparation, leading to an
improved life one meal at a time.
Eat five to six times a day three meals and
two to three small snacks. Include a lean
protein, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables,
and a complex carbohydrate with each meal.
This keeps your body energized and burning
calories efficiently all day long.

Eating
Simplified
through a busy week with energy
to spare. Continue saving time
and money and whip up dinner
fast with 5-ingredient meals that
taste gourmet on page 64. And for
breezy weeknight meals, try our
3-step meal salads on page 44 and
unbelievable foil-pack dinners
(p. 54) that can be cooked on the
grill or in your oven. These glorious
little bundles pack everything you
need for a satisfying supper in one
pouch and they are tasty enough
for company and leave you with
no dishes to clean. Finally, prep
everything you need for a week of
clean eating on Sunday and just
grab and go and reheat throughout
the week (p. 32). Because weve
received such overwhelming praise
for this department by talented
recipe developer and culinary
instructor Amy Symington, I am
thrilled to announce it will now
be a regular fixture in every issue,
helping you to eat clean all week
long with just an afternoon of work.
It doesnt get any easier than that!

Avoid processed and refined foods

CHRISTINE KIRKLAND, LOS ANGELES, CA

A: According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),


40F to 140F is the danger zone for perishable food, where
bacteria can grow fast enough to quickly render it unsafe. How
quickly? Within two hours, they say, or one hour if the temperature
outside is 90F or more. The danger zone applies to all perishable
foods such as meats, seafood, cheese, dairy, fruits, vegetables and
cooked grains. Does this mean youre taking your life into your hands
at 120 minutes? Maybe not, but better to be safe than sorry. Better
still, if youll be lingering over your meal at a picnic or barbecue,
make sure to keep cold foods in a cooler with ice, hot foods in
insulated containers and cooked meats on one side of the grill (just
away from the coals) until serving.

Health-Watch Expos:
How to Break Through
Your Weight Loss Plateau
By Amber Rios

eing a health and nutrition


correspondent means that companies
frequently send me their products,
and ask for my stamp of approval. Most
of the time I dive into research, give the
product a try, and send the company honest
feedback about what theyll need to change
before Ill recommend it. Plus, my hectic job
and my determination to stay fit means Im
always hunting for a quick and nutritious
way to fill up on nutrients my body needs.
So I can confidently say, Ive tried it all.
Like many people out there, one of
my biggest frustrations when I am trying
to lose weight is when my progress halts
despite the fact that I continue to follow a
strict plan. On my last workout, I expressed
my frustration to my elite personal trainer,
Tony, a triathlon winning, organic-to-thebone fitness guy with a ten mile long track
record of whipping the whos who into
shape in record time. Tony handed me a
meal replacement drink and told me to
include it in my regular diet. He simply said,
You will be astounded by the taste and the
results you will see!
With more than a healthy dose of
scepticism, I decided to investigate the
shake Tony handed me to try called
INVIGOR8.
Turns out, he was right about the taste.
After one sip I thought there is no way
this can be healthy because the creamy
chocolate flavor is just too delicious. I was
stunned because virtually every other
meal replacement shake Ive tried has
tasted chalky, clumpy and are packed with
hidden no-nos like cheap protein, tons
of artificial ingredients, not to mention
harmful synthetic dyes, additives, sugars,
preservatives, and hormones. And even
though INVIGOR8s full meal replacement
shake costs more than many of the shakes
Ive tried, it was about half the price of my
favorite salad, and the nutrition profile
looked second to none.
Still sceptical, I looked up the reviews

online and reached out to a few people to


get their feedback on the product. By the
next morning three people got back to
me saying, As a trainer I love Invigor8. Its
definitely helped me to have more all-day
energy, plus build the kind of lean sculpted
muscle that burns more fat.
Yes, Ill recommend it, it tastes great,
and I really like how it keeps me feeling full
for hours.
Im a marathon runner and a friend
recommended it to me. Drinking it has
become a part of my regular training
routine, because my time has improved, my
energy is up, and Im thinking more clearly
than ever before.
I decided to take my investigation
one step further by researching the
development of INVIGOR8. I was pleasantly
surprised to find out that the company went
to great lengths to keep INVIGOR8 free of
harmful ingredients.
The makers of INVIGOR8 were
determined to make the first 100% natural,
organic, non-GMO nutritional shake &
superfood. The result is a meal replacement
shake that contains 100% grass-fed whey
that has a superior nutrient profile to the
grain-fed whey found in most shakes,
metabolism boosting raw organic coconut
oil, hormone free colostrum to promote a
healthy immune system, Omega 3, 6, 9-rich
chia and flaxseeds, superfood greens like
kale, spinach, broccoli, alfalfa, and chlorella,
and clinically tested cognitive enhancers
for improved mood and brain function.
The company even went a step further by
including a balance of pre and probiotics
for optimal digestive health, uptake, and
regularity and digestive enzymes so your
body absorbs the high-caliber nutrition you
get from INVIGOR8.
As a whole-foods nutritionist with
a thriving practice, I understand the
importance of filling my body with the best
Mother Nature has to offer. I am always
reluctant when trying new products because

I am never sure of the impact they will have


on my energy and weight. INVIGOR8 is
different, not only because its delicious,
but because it helps me to maintain the
energy I need to run my busy practice, while
staying fit and toned. Considering all of the
shakes Ive tried, I can honestly say that the
results Ive experienced from INVIGOR8 are
nothing short of amazing.
A company spokesperson confirmed a
special offer: if you order this month, youll
receive Free Enrollment into the companys
Loyalty Program where youll qualify to
receive a $10 discount on every bottle of
INVIGOR8. And so you dont go a month
without INVIGOR8 - helping you lose weight
while getting toned, youll automatically
receive a fresh bottle every 30-days. There
are no minimum amounts of bottles to buy
and you can cancel at any time. You can order
INVIGOR8 today at www.DrinkInvigor8.com
or by calling 1-800-958-3392.

MARKET NAMES: White pineberry,


pineberry strawberry, pineapple strawberry
SEASON: Spring to early summer.

PINING FOR

Pineberries
BY KAREN MORSE

EAT IT: Can be used the same


way as regular strawberries in
desserts and salads, but these
sweet, aromatic berries are best
enjoyed fresh or as a garnish.
They also pair nicely with soft
cheeses, such as burrata and
goat cheese.

Though sometimes mistaken as a genetically modied fruit, the pineberry is


actually a fragrant hybrid of the South American strawberry variety Fragaria
chiloensis and the North American strawberry variety Fragaria virginiana,
which results in a conical white berry with red seeds. Youll nd these soft,
juicy berries in small quantities at gourmet grocers and specialty food stores.

HEALTH BENEFITS: A good


source of vitamins A, C and
folate. This super berry is
great for strengthening your
immune system and for
supporting heart health.

Try a new berry on for size this summer with this


nutritious strawberrylike fruit that tastes like pineapple.

STORE IT: These berries are


delicate and highly perishable,
so keep them refrigerated until
ready to eat and enjoy them as
soon as possible.

Maple Syrup:
A Brainy New
Superfood?

Rethink the
Weekend Binge
If you religiously eat kale salads and
acai bowls during the week but think
its OK to binge on pizza and wine all
weekend long, it might be time for a
little reality check. A new study from
the University of New South Wales
(UNSW) suggests that whole-weekend
binge eating may be just as bad for
your gut microbiome as a regular diet
of junk food. Furthermore, the study
found that yo-yo dieting reduced the
number of microbial species capable
of metabolizing avonoids, which
aid in weight loss and help protect
neurons in the brain. In the study, lead
researcher Margaret Morris, the head
of pharmacology at UNSW, fed rats
either a healthy diet of chow (low-fat
rat food) or a diet of cafeteria food. The
rats in the cafeteria-food group were
fed foods like cakes, meat pies and dim
sum three days per week but ate low-fat
foods the other days of the week.
Science has already shown that

chew
on this

93

eating unhealthy foods can lead to


a disruption in normal gut bacteria,
which has been linked to conditions
such as inammatory bowel disease
and obesity. But what we didnt already
know, as UNSW researchers point
out, is that eating badly even three
days a week is enough to alter the gut
microbiota toward the pattern seen in
obese rats. Though further study on
humans is needed, Morris says that if
youre generally eating a healthy diet
of fruits, vegetables and good-quality
proteins, then the occasional splurge
should be ne. It is likely that the
occasional treat like a slice of cake or
half a pizza, if consumed once a week,
would not have enormously detrimental
effects on the gut microbiota, she
says. So to avoid reversing the effects
of healthy weekday eating, keep your
clean-eating lifestyle on track even on
the weekends. Instead of two days of
indulging, strive for two treats instead!

Cut down on sodium by seasoning foods like


scrambled eggs, meats and sauces with avorful
spices like paprika, turmeric and chile powder
instead of salt. Not only will these perk up your
dishes, but they'll also add plenty of health-boosting
benets since many spices have anti-inammatory
properties and are rich in antioxidants.

Maple syrup might be more than


just a sweet treat for your taste
buds. Two new studies reveal that
it could help prevent Alzheimers
and other brain diseases.
One study conducted on test
tubes, led by Donald Weaver, PhD,
director of the Krembil Research
Institute at the University Health
Network in Toronto, found that
a maple syrup extract prevented
two brain cell proteins (beta
amyloid and tau peptide) from
clumping together and folding
the wrong way. When cellular
proteins accumulate, they form
the plaque that has been linked
to Alzheimers disease and other
neurodegenerative diseases.
A similar study, led by Navindra
Seeram, PhD, of The University
of Rhode Island, showed that the
extract also reduced inflammation
created by microglial brain cells
(the primary immune cells of
the central nervous system that
defend against illness-causing
organisms) in addition to
protecting neurons.
Dont start guzzling gallons of
syrup Elf-style just yet, however.
Further research is needed
to pinpoint the compounds
responsible for the effects and
to see if the results can be
mimicked in people.
Dr. Seeram recommends darker,
pure maple syrups, which pack
more healthy compounds, and
avoiding pancake syrup, which
often contains high-fructose corn
syrup and other additives.

GMO LABEL TRANSPARENCY


In the battle of genetically modified organism (GMO) labeling wars,
some of the nations biggest food companies have made their voices
loud and clear and for good reason. In March, ConAgra Foods,
CONTAINS
Kelloggs, General Mills and Mars, Inc. joined Campbell Soup Company
GMOs
(which previously voiced its support in January) in declaring their
intent to label GMOs in their food products. Campbell is also asking for mandatory
labeling standards to be established for foods derived from GMOs, which will require
consultation with the FDA and approval by the USDA. This comes hot on the heels of the
US Senates decision to reject what opponents coined the Deny Americans the Right to
Know (DARK) Act, a bill that would have made the labeling of GMO ingredients voluntary.
(The official name of the bill was, ironically, The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of
2015.) With big food joining the fight for Americans to know whats in their food, its a
positive step in the right direction. In the meantime, be a label sleuth at the grocery store
and make sure that any packaged products sport the Non-GMO Project Verified seal and
make sure to buy only organic for common GMO crops like corn and soybeans.

Why Meal Times Matter


New research from the Weizmann Institute of Science suggests that when
you eat may be just as important as what you eat. Though the work is in its
infancy, lead researcher Gad Asher, MD, PhD, says eating according to your
bodys circadian clock may help ght obesity.
So far, most efforts to ght obesity and metabolic syndrome centered on
the food composition, such as the amount of calories and their source,
and did not take into account that the time one ingests the food is also
critical, says Dr. Asher. Animal studies done in his lab and other labs
indicate that mice that are restricted to eating only during their activity
time do not develop obesity and metabolic syndrome compared to mice
that eat at will.
The research team identied and quantied hundreds of mitochondrial
proteins, which power our cells, and found that 40% of these proteins
peak once a day. Of these proteins, they discovered an enzyme that
establishes the rate of sugars needed for energy production. The enzyme
peaked four hours into the daylight part of the circadian cycle, suggesting
that the mitochondrias capacity for burning sugar is at its highest around
this time.
Dr. Asher says many questions need to be addressed to determine
whether these ndings are also relevant for humans, but maintaining a
balance between what and when you eat seems to be important. The
basic principle is that you should limit your food consumption to the
activity phase (i.e., during the day) and avoid eating during rest time
(i.e., at night), in accordance with your internal body time, he says.

Have you ever watched a movie while


munching away on your favorite
snack, only to discover your fingers
scraping crumbs from the bottom of
the bag moments later? For many of
us, this is all too common. But dont
blame all the mindless munching on
a lack of willpower.
According to a new study
published in Food Quality and
Preference, snacking to loud music
or watching loud TV may cause you
to eat more.Sound is an interesting
sensory cue because the sound
creates natural reminders of the
eating experience as long as you
can hear the sound of your food,
you are more aware of how much
you are eating, says Gina Mohr,
PhD, study co-author and assistant
professor of marketing at Colorado
State University.
Study participants, who ate
crunchy snacks (pretzels, cookies and
pita chips) while listening to loud
ambient noise, consumed more than
those who snacked while listening to
soft ambient noise. Researchers call
this phenomenon the crunch effect.
To avoid slipping into a mindlesseating trance, pay attention to the
sound and feel of each morsel as
you eat. Attending to the sound
the food makes is one way that you
can reduce your food consumption,
says Mohr.And as we all know,
eating fewer calories is a key factor
to successful weight maintenance or
weight loss.

What are the health benefits of seaweed?

Seaweed has long been in use in many Asian cuisines. But its still used
relatively infrequently as a dietary component in the US most Americans
probably consume seaweed most often when eating sushi. Thats too bad,
because seaweed has some powerful health benefits. Seaweed ispotent
withantioxidants and packed with minerals particularly iodine, but also iron
and calcium.Seaweed is also a source of vitamins, including vitamin K and a
spectrum of B vitamins, as well as vitamins A and C.Scientific studies suggest
seaweed has anti-inflammatory properties, which may help protect against
cardiovascular diseaseas well as other chronic health conditions. Lignanrich seaweed has been linked to improved hormone regulation and balance
specifically the regulation of estrogen levels and may offer protection against
some cancers. How can you add more seaweed to your diet? This versatile sea
veggie is great raw in salads and simmered in soups. Dried seaweed can also be
added to soups and stews, as well as to vegetable dips and smoothies.

Can fish oil help with weight loss?

Omega-3-rich fish oils have long been recommended for heart health, decreasing
inflammation, and brain and eye health. A 2015 study out of Kyoto University found
that a diet rich in fish oil helped convert fat-storage cells to fat-burning cells, which
could help prevent middle-age weight gain. The body has three types of fat cells:
white fat cells, which store fat, brown fat cells, which burn calories to heat the body
and are found abundantly in infants, and beige fat cells, which can function like
brown fat cells. They fed a group of mice two diets one rich in fish oil and one

metabolizing cells, which can assist in weight loss.

they can help manage stress, ght fatigue and

health-boosting benets. BY LAURA SCHOBER
Adaptogenic herbs help improve the health of your
adrenal system, which is responsible for managing your
bodys hormonal response to stress. Adaptogens can
calm you down and boost your energy at the same time
without overstimulating, says Frank Lipman, MD, founder
and director of Eleven-Eleven Wellness Center in New York
City and a pioneer of integrative and functional medicine.
They work a bit like a thermostat for the body. When the
thermostat senses that the room temperature is too high,
it brings it down; when the temperature is too low, it brings
it up. To get started, here a several adaptogens you may
want to consider implementing into your routine:

ASIAN GINSENG: Helps the body in its ability


to handle stress; enhances mental function; promotes
a sense of well-being; may help protect against cancer.
Dose: 100 to 200 milligrams per day of a standardized
extract. Most standardized ginseng extracts supply
approximately 4 to 7% ginsenosides. Or try 1 to
2 grams per day of the dried, powdered root, usually
taken in gelatin capsules.

grocers freezer.
MANUFACTURERS COUPON

EXPIRES 12/31/16

RHODIOLA: Relieves anxiety and depression; combats


aging; helps control cortisol levels; reduces mental and
physical fatigue; aids in cellular energy metabolism and
brain function.
Dose:200 to 600 milligrams per day of a Rhodiola rosea
extract standardized to contain 2 to 3% rosavins and
0.8 to 1% salidroside. Or 2 to 3 grams per day of the
nonstandardized root.
ASHWAGANDHA: Eases anxiety; strengthens the
immune system; increases energy and endurance;
enhances endocrine function, especially in the thyroid
and adrenal glands.
Dose:3 to 6 grams per day of the dried root.

ELEUTHERO: Helps improve memory, feelings of


well-being and mild depression.
Dose:2 to 3 grams per day of the dried root.
As with all herbal and supplemental regimens, CE suggests consulting with your healthcare provider to discuss any potential interactions or health conditions before taking
adaptogenic herbs. For instance, some adaptogens can be dangerous if you have high
blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or are pregnant. It is important to find the right
dosage for you depending on your wellness goals and state of health. You can find
adaptogenic herbs at bewellbydrfranklipman.com and at natural health stores.

Spain, takes great pride in his rotating


selection of vegetables. Asparagus,
Swiss chard, kohlrabi, fennel, chile
peppers and heirloom tomatoes bask
in the year-round California sunshine,
while groves of olive and avocado trees
trail down the hillside towards the
deep blue Pacic below. Although the
4,000-square-foot garden is far from
sustaining all the produce requirements
of the resort, Chef Ibarra plans to
expand it to 10,000 square feet over
the next year.
Ibarra is quick to praise all his staff,
even the ones with six legs. He sources
160 pounds of honey a year from
the four hives on the farm. We have
150,000 more Terrenea employees, he

says, speaking of the bees. They dont


have a name tag, but they work hard.
The fresh produce, sea salt and
honey come together at Terraneas
marsel restaurant, popular for its
multi-course seasonal tasting menus
and wine pairings. The restaurant
also has its own herb garden on-site.
Standout menu items have included
fresh abalone pulled from the sea and
caramelized Brussels sprouts dusted
with sea salt. But its the magnicent
beauty of this seaside sanctuary that
truly delights the senses. Terranea
blends seamlessly with its surroundings,
inviting you to relax. Lie back, inhale
the salty air, and if youre lucky, watch
a pod of dolphins joyfully swim by.

Perched on the rocky coast of Rancho Palos Verdes, California, Terranea


destination hotel combines ultimate luxury with sustainability. A mere
30 miles south of Los Angeles, this 582-room, 102-acre eco-resort is a world
away from the citys notorious traffic and urban sprawl, luring visitors with its
endless ocean views, four heated pools, nine-hole golf course, 50,000-squarefoot spa and fitness center, two miles of oceanfront trails and eight dining
venues with a variety of farm-to-table dining options.

Its time to ditch the blue stuff and the


respiratory toxins, hormone-disrupting
chemicals and skin irritants that come
along with it. For this DIY glass cleaner, we
replace nasty chemicals with white vinegar
for a streak-free shine for windows and
mirrors, but lets face it the stuff stinks! So
we sweetened the smell with an infusion
of lavender and lemon for an invigorating
floral-citrus scent that makes cleaning all
the more enjoyable.

Pretty-in-Pink
Glass Cleaner
INGREDIENTS:
1 lemon, peeled
1 cups white vinegar, divided
13 cup dried lavender buds

EQUIPMENT:
2 small Mason jars and lids
1 spray bottle

ONE: To a small Mason jar, add lemon


peels and cover with cup vinegar.
Close jar with lid.
TWO: To another small Mason jar, add
dried lavender buds and cover with
remaining cup vinegar. Close jar with lid.
THREE: Allow peels and buds to infuse for
2 weeks.
FOUR: After 2 weeks, strain out peels and
buds and combine infused vinegars in a
spray bottle; dilute with 2 cups water.
TIP: Use on glass, mirrors, ceramic
tiles and stainless steel. Avoid using on
granite, marble and stone tiles as these
surfaces could get damaged by the
acidic ingredients in this cleaner.

PREP SUNDAY
Eat Clean All Week!
Heres everything you need for a delicious
week of clean and energizing meals.
BY AMY SYMINGTON, PHOTOGRAPHY BY KELLY BRISSON

Whatever day of the week


Sunday may be for you,
it is that blessed day you use
to get your home in order
before the beginning of the
hectic workweek.
Its the day you do laundry,
tackle the backlog of dishes,
tidy that unkempt bathroom
or catch up on exercise or
relaxation. So why not also
use this sacred day to get a
jump start on the meal game
for your busy week ahead?
Disorganization when
it comes to your weekly
meals will not only cost you
precious time from frequent
visits to the corner store or
cafeteria and money from all
that takeout or last-minute
lunch pickups, but over the
long term, when it happens
habitually, it can also cost
you your health. By creating
your own meals you will
know exactly what is going
into your food and what is
(thankfully) being left out.
Our menu-prep suggestions
will help you save time,
money and improve your
overall health and well-being.

The Coolest Colanders


When it comes to everyday tasks like rinsing berries, draining pasta
or straining sauces, colanders and sieves are essential kitchen helpers.
We tested an array of options from colorful to classic. BY ANDREA GOURGY

Colanders and
sieves come with
a variety of hole
sizes so consider
what types of foods
you work with
most and choose
accordingly. We
recommend having
one colander with
larger holes as well
as a sieve, which
has smaller holes,
to be able to tackle
any kitchen task.

quicker straining. Because


it has a self-standing base,
it's best to make sure your
surface is clean if setting it
down with food inside.

For straining small items


like rice and quinoa, a
sieve with finer holes, such
as this one, is the way to
go. Its long handle in a
burst of bright green is
made of rubber to help
prevent it from getting
too hot. Bonus: It comes
with a free bag for making
homemade nut milks.

What's
Omega-7
and do I need it?
Recently, Ive been hearing
buzz about omega-7s. Ive
heard of omega-3, omega-6
and omega-9, but what the
heck is omega-7?
Omega-7 is a fatty acid known as
palmitoleic acid. Its got a lot of
potential health benefits, though the
research is nowhere near as extensive
as the research on, say, omega-3s.
Nonetheless, its becoming a
popular supplement.
Palmitoleic acid began to get
some serious attention when
studies at Harvard University
showed that people with the highest
circulating levels of the fatty
acid had an amazing 60% lower
incidence of diabetes compared
with those who had the lowest
levels. People with higher levels
of omega-7 also had a lower body
mass index (BMI), smaller waist
circumference, lower triglycerides
and lower inflammation. And a
study conducted by the Cleveland
Clinic and Xyrion Medical Institute
showed that 210 milligrams per
day of omega-7 reduced C-reactive
protein (CRP) levels an important
measure of overall inflammation by
an impressive 44%.

The omega-7 sold today as a


supplement comes from either
fish such as salmon or from a
plant known as sea buckthorn.
One excellent, widely available
brand is Barleans Heart Remedy.

Someone told me that citrus


bergamot is a really great
supplement for heart health.
Id never heard of it. What
does it do?
A number of studies show that
citrus bergamot supplements can
lower cholesterol. But in my
opinion, lowering cholesterol is
the least important thing citrus
bergamot does.
Citrus bergamot is an extract from
bergamot, a kind of orange that
grows mainly in the Calabria region
of Italy. The fruit itself is slightly
bitter and sour, but there are
compounds in it that have been
found to have some important
health benefits, which is
why theyve found their
way into supplements.
The emerging research
is pretty impressive.

Though most people get excited


about its cholesterol-lowering
properties, whats more important
at least in my view is that it also
lowers triglycerides and raises HDL
(good) cholesterol. By lowering
triglycerides an independent risk
for heart disease it automatically
improves your triglyceride-to-HDL
ratio, which has been shown to be a
major predictor for heart disease
and obesity.
To be effective, a citrus bergamot
supplement has to have a high
percentage of polyphenols. One
brand that meets the polyphenol
criteria is ResVitle Bergamot
Cholesterol Support ($45, gnc.com).

SALMON PHOTO GIBSON & SMITH, FOOD AND PROP STYLING TERRY SCHACHT

Im reading everywhere
that eating fat helps
you lose weight. This
seems counterintuitive.
Can you explain?
Glad to. The myth that eating fat
makes you fat has persisted for
decades, and in my not-so-humble
opinion it is one of the reasons for
the obesity epidemic. If that doesnt
seem to make sense right now, it
will when you consider the effect
food has on hormones.
Remember, everything that has
to do with weight is controlled by
hormones theyre totally in charge
of the weight gain/weight loss
roller coaster. The main hormone
responsible for weight gain is
insulin, which is why its known as
the fat-storage hormone. (Hows
that for a duh?)
Insulin goes up (a lot) whenever
you eat carbohydrates. It goes up
a little when you eat protein.
But eating fat doesnt even budge
the needle on insulin secretion.
Thats why eating less carbs and
eating more fat is frequently a great
strategy for weight loss. You just
have to make sure its the right kind
of fat clean, not toxic. (If you
want more details on clean vs. toxic
fat, see Smart Fat: Eat More Fat,
Lose More Weight, Get Healthy
Now (HarperOne, 2016.)

TOTAL TIME: 30 MINUTES (PLUS SOAKING TIME).

Sweet, juicy grilled peaches add a lovely warm-weather flair to this

to lightly coat the salad (we suggest using
about half of the dressing) and set it in

down and coat the veggies.

Grilled Dark Cherry Crumble


SERVES 8. HANDS-ON TIME: 10 MINUTES. TOTAL TIME: 30 MINUTES.

It really doesnt get any easier than this foil-packet cherry crumble! For the fastest prep,
opt for frozen cherries, which are already pitted, and thaw them overnight in the fridge.
Be sure to drain any cherry juices after thawing to keep your crumble from becoming
soggy. We love the tangy taste of Greek yogurt, but if you prefer a sweeter topping, try
vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups fresh or frozen pitted dark
sweet cherries, thawed (TIP: You can
also use sour cherries if you prefer.
Youll need to add an additional 2 tbsp
coconut sugar into the cherry mixture
in Step Two.)
1 tsp each pure vanilla and pure
almond extract
cup coconut sugar, divided
3 tbsp whole-wheat flour, divided

times along each long edge to seal

shrooms: Shiitake
mushrooms have long been
considered a medicinal
mushroom in Asia, and there
are numerous studies to back
up those claims. In particular,
research has shown that
lentinan, a component of
shiitake, exhibits anti-tumor
activities, while studies
have found that another
component, lenthionine, may
help prevent thrombosis.
Shiitakes are also a great
source of vitamin D.

SERVES 4.
HANDS-ON TIME: 20 MINUTES.
TOTAL TIME: 30 MINUTES.

2 tsp olive oil


2 tsp red wine vinegar
Pinch ground black pepper
10 pitted Kalamata olives,
coarsely chopped
2 English cucumbers, chopped
1 vine-ripened tomato, chopped
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 oz feta cheese, crumbled or diced,
optional
cup coarsely chopped fresh mint

INSTRUCTIONS:
ONE: Preheat oven to 425F. Line a
rimmed baking sheet with parchment
paper. In a large bowl, toss together
chickpeas, red onion, garlic, 2 tsp oil,
oregano, paprika, cumin, pepper flakes
and salt. Spread in a single layer on
baking sheet and bake until beginning
to turn crispy, about 20 minutes.
TWO: Meanwhile, prepare salad:
In a separate bowl, whisk together
2 tsp oil, vinegar and black pepper.
Add olives, cucumbers, tomato, green
onions, cheese (if using) and mint and
toss to coat.

Youll save time (and need fewer


ingredients) by using one spicy dressing
as both a marinade for the fish and a
dressing for the slaw. Theres plenty of
room for play with this recipe turn
up the heat by adding more sriracha or
jalapeo peppers, or toss in handfuls
of chopped cilantro and mint for extra
freshness. Instead of a grill pan, you can
cook the fish on your barbecue or broil on
a foil-lined baking sheet.

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb boneless, skinless firm white
fish fillets, such as Pacific cod, Pacific
halibut or mahi mahi
1 jalapeo chile pepper, halved
lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
2 tbsp rice vinegar

juice, vinegar, oil, honey, salt and pepper.


Transfer 13 cup mixture to a small bowl;
set aside. Pour remaining mixture over
fish, turning to coat. Let stand for up to
30 minutes.
TWO: Meanwhile, prepare toppings:
In a large bowl, toss together cabbage,
onion, avocado, orange and reserved
jalapeo mixture and set aside. In a
separate small bowl, stir together
sour cream, lime juice and sriracha and
set aside.
THREE: Mist a grill pan with cooking
spray and heat on medium-high.
Remove fish from marinade; discard
marinade. Add fish to pan and cook,
turning once, just until fish flakes easily
when tested with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.
Using fork, roughly flake fish and divide
among tortillas. Top with cabbage
mixture and sour cream mixture. Serve
with lime wedges.

2 tbsp olive oil


1 tsp raw honey
tsp each sea salt and ground
black pepper
8 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed

THREE: Spoon hummus onto plates,


dividing evenly. Top with chickpeas.
Divide arugula among plates and top
with salad. Serve with pita wedges.

The

Better-Energy
7 NATURAL SOURCES FOR
SLIMMING AND SWIMMING
BY SARAH TUFF DUNN

Swimsuit season is here once again, and this years


your chance to focus not just on your hourglass
gure, but also on how your gure actually feels
once you dive into the pool or start splashing in
the waves. These natural sources reduce belly
bloat and give you a boost of energy for all-around
wellness, no matter your body shape.

1. PROBIOTICS.

Its all about the gut,


says Taz Bhatia, MD, the founder and director of
CentreSpringMD in Atlanta, Georgia, and author
of The 21-Day Belly Fix (Zinc Ink, 2014). Research
continues to pile on showing how the balance
of gut bacteria our microbiome determines
our response to stress and insulin regulation.
Adding probiotics can help balance gut bacteria
and reduce belly bloat and abdominal weight,
she says. Recent studies have also found that
probiotics help with irritable bowel syndrome.
Slim pickings: Yogurt, miso soup, a highquality probiotic supplement and fermented
pickles (brined in salt and water).

2. Citrus fruits. The high vitamin C in citrus fruits can help lower cortisol, says Dr. Bhatia,
improving the stress response and boosting the immune system. Thats backed up by several
studies, including one study published in Psychopharmacology where German researchers asked 120
healthy young adults to complete a public speaking task and math problems. Before completing
the tasks, half of the participants were given either three daily doses of 1,000 milligrams of vitamin
C or a placebo. The vitamin C group experienced the most resilience, saw lower blood pressure
and bounced back from stressful situations faster than those with low levels of the vitamin.
Slim pickings: Grapefruit, oranges, tangerines, clementines, lemons and limes, miso soup and
a high-quality probiotic supplement.

4. Lavender. As a mom of two who

3. Lactose-free dairy products. If youre of


African, Asian, Mexican or Native American descent, theres a good
chance youve stopped producing lactase, the enzyme that digests
milk. If your ancestry is northern European, you probably have lactase,
with only around a 2% chance of being lactose intolerant.
Any way you slice it, lactose intolerance means that dairy products
can leave you feeling like a cow when you cant digest.
Slim pickings: Almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, Green
Valley Organics Lactose Free Whole Milk Plain Yogurt (its got
another double-whammy in probiotics and protein, too).

works full-time and works out a lot, I keep


a lavender candle on my bedside table and
regularly bathe in lavender-infused bath salts
specifically so I can sleep better at night.
And my instincts are right. Leptin, insulin
and somatostatin are all hormones that
regulate weight, says Dr. Bhatia, and
without consistent sleep, weight becomes
an issue regardless of diet and exercise.
Slim pickings: Lavender oil
dab on pillows and pajamas.

5. Mushrooms and mushroom supplements. As


Dr. Bhatia explains, mushrooms play a role in insulin regulation as well,
supporting the endocrine system and hormonal balance. Theyre helpful
in slimming the belly, she says, the first sign of abdominal weight.
SLIM PICKINGS: Shiitake, which also has vitamin D, and porcini,
for its anti-inflammatory properties.

6. Omega-3s. Can serving salmon for dinner help keep you


slimmer? Provided you practice portion control, yes. A study in Diabetes
& Metabolism has found that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, the kind
found in fatty fish and in supplements, reduces the way stress hormones
activate your adrenal glands. And when your stress hormones and
sympathetic nervous system are stable, youre less likely to feel the
effects of excess cortisol (the primary stress hormone)
as extra weight around the midsection.
SLIM PICKINGS: Flaxseed oil, salmon,
chia seeds and nuts.

7. GREEN TEA.
A study in The Journal
of Nutrition found that
consuming green tea
enhances the way
exercise reduces
abdominal fat. Green tea
contains antioxidants and
polyphenols that also help
with insulin regulation,
resulting in weight loss,
adds Dr. Bhatia.

Sencha Jade Reserve
Green Tea.
