Healthy Charcuterie Board - how is that for a fun food idea for the next time you entertain friends or family… but first lets talk about something that’s pretty important. In fact, it’s something our clients ask us about all the time!
How do you know the “right” diet or the “right” foods to eat, when you get so many conflicting facts? It can be overwhelming! How do you know what’s fact vs. fiction? Borrowing advice from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (website: eatright.org), helps simplify things a lot. It’s all about VARIETY and not about following a specific diet (low-fat, low-carb, low-sugar, etc.) or cutting out entire food groups... because those kinds of eating plans are really hard to sustain for a lifetime. In a nutshell (pun intended), it’s about eating more healthy, whole foods like veggies, fruits, seafood, nuts, and beans – and eating less processed meats, refined grains, sweetened drinks, or sugary/processed foods. By focusing on the big picture of your eating patterns, you’ll notice huge changes in your energy, how your body feels and looks, and even your mood. Plus, it’s so much easier to make your food and meal choices. One thing that is really interesting is that they even recommend looking at the “big picture” of your veggie intake over the course of a week instead of day-by-day. Every week, they recommend shooting for 1½ cups of dark green veggies, 5½ cups of red and orange vegetables, 1½ cups of beans/legumes, 5 cups of starches (sweet potato, squash) and 4 cups of “other vegetables” (green beans, cauliflower, cabbage, mushrooms, cucumbers, onions, zucchini, etc.). That seems like a lot, but it boils down to 2½ cups a day and gives you lots of options for variety! Our Healthy Snacking Guide is a great place to start to incorporate more of the good stuff into your diet. Speaking of which … we have a really fun entertaining idea for you that is all about variety that will let you sneak in some veggie servings. How about creating a healthy charcuterie board the next time you have family and/or friends over? You’ve probably seen charcuterie boards in magazines or online – they are super trendy right now. Basically, it’s a board (and sometimes even an entire table!) covered with snacks like nuts, fruit, uncured deli meats, veggies and dips/spreads. 
If you want to make a charcuterie board, you can use several of the recipes included in the Healthy Snacking Guide >>click here to download for FREE<< (the cauliflower hummus, baked chicken wings, dried plum poppers, to name just a few). Add some goat cheese, cauliflower and broccoli florets, baby carrots, celery, uncured deli meats, shrimp, fresh fruit, or other favorites.

We love snacks and we believe they have an important place strategically in our eating plans. In fact, some studies show that the right kind of snacking can actually improve our overall nutrition and health!
The problem is, a lot of times we don’t plan ahead of time so when we need a bite to eat to hold us over, we end up hitting the vending machine, drive-through, or grabbing a sweet treat from the office snack table. And as we all know, those choices aren’t always the best for our long-term goals. This Facebook live talks about how to incorporate a healthy snacking strategy to stay on point with your nutrition and crush your health and fitness goals. I hope the presentation was helpful! If you are interested in learning more, you can download our FREE Healthy Snacking Guide here. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Happy Snacking! Paige Wilcox

I have been road tripping a lot this summer with my family. Generally, I pack snacks for the ride but on this particular trip, I forgot my snack stash.
And I was really hungry. I knew there was a convenience store right off the exit, so I decided to pick up something there. But when I stood in front of the shelves, I have to admit it took me a couple of minutes to figure out the best choice – something that would stop my stomach from rumbling and keep me feeling focused and energized, without a sugar crash or stomach ache later! When you’re hungry, it’s so easy to give into temptations. This video talks about finding the best options to help you stay on point nutritionally when you are in a pinch. I hope you find it helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions at all! I hope this video was helpful to you and now you can make a strategy the next time you find yourself HANGRY in the isles of your local convenience store. If you want more tips and strategies for healthy snacking, be sure to download our FREE Healthy Snacking Guide. This was my first ever Facebook LIVE video. I was super nervous but hey - if it doesn't challenge you - it doesn't change you. Plus - I had a super sweet high tech video studio set up so there is that.... 
I plan on doing more of these live videos so please let me know what you want to chat about! Don't forget to download your Healthy Snacking Guide - you are going to LOVE it!

Much Love, Paige Wilcox Wilcox Wellness & Fitness I am so excited to share this recipe with you today! These brownies contain one of our favorite sweet ingredients – dates! – which have a well-deserved nickname of “nature’s candy.” They are amazing because they’re sweet, fiber-rich, and are fantastic to add to shakes, chia pudding, or … yes … even brownies. They are great to keep stashed in the cupboard. A bonus of this recipe is that it’s pretty easy to experiment with if you like to get a little adventurous in the kitchen. Because there’s no actual cooking involved, you don’t have to worry about having the proper ratios of various ingredients that you need when baking. I have some ideas for switching up this recipe below, but I don’t recommend trying them until you’ve made it at least once so you know the right texture to shoot for. :)  These make tasty, high-fiber treats you can enjoy any time of the day. (Tip: For a grain-free version, try replacing the oats with almond flour. Because almond flour has a higher fat content than oats, depending on its consistency, you likely will have to cut down on the amount of almond butter you use. You also can experiment by using different nut butters.) I hope you LOVE this recipe! If you need help with healthy eating ideas, we've got you covered!

For 9 years I worked as an account manager and I was out to eat with either customers or suppliers at least 4 times per week. Entering this job, one of the more senior reps had warned me that I would gain weight with all of the restruant meals and sitting on long car trips.
I was determined that this wouldn't be the case for me so I researched and researched and figured out how I would be able to stay on point with my health goals even on the busiest of weeks. Here, years later, I am sharing what I learned from that experience in our Dining out Guide. Eating on point when you are dining out is so simple if you stick to just a few basic guidelines. We include these guidelines in our Healthful Living Guidebook but I made this Dining Out Guide as an extended version of that so that you will know how to order based on the type of restaurant you are at. With this guide, you will learn how to order like a ninja when you go to: ● Diners, delis and sandwich shops ● Burger joints ● Mexican restaurants ● And so much more! With this guide you will know EXACTLY what to order to stay on point with your #goals so that you are feeling great and have the energy to do the things that #setyoursoulonfire. Also – you don’t need to order a boring ole’ salad with grilled chicken on it. There are so many great options at literally any restaurant you go to! Download your guide here. We hope you love it! Please let us know if you have any questions at all! ENJOY! Paige Wilcox Wilcox Wellness & Fitness We are SO EXCITED to share with you our new Meal Prep Guide. The guide outlines practical tips for making sure you always have a healthy meal ready when you need one. The best part is…. it doesn’t involve eating chicken and broccoli out of plastic containers… unless that is your thing. Instead, it’s all about how to plan and prep your meals without disrupting your entire routine (i.e., meal prep for “real” people living real, busy lives!).  I made sure the guide has plenty of information on how to store your meals, too, so they don’t end up with “freezer burn” and also so you can avoid that nagging worry in the back of your mind about whether it’s time to keep or toss your prepped creations. Here are just a few reasons to plan and prep your meals ahead of time:
Your new Meal Prep Guide includes a couple delicious recipes that you can make-ahead to save yourself a ton of time! One of our new favorite breakfasts (chia pudding) is in there, along with a delicious Beef Stew you can make in the pressure cooker in no time flat. This guide is another “thank you” for all your support. We want you to know how grateful we are to be able to do what we love each day. That’s all because of you! → Click here to download the Meal Prep Guide now!  Feel free to share this with your friends, family or coworkers who might benefit from it. We appreciate it!
ENJOY! Wilcox Wellness & Fitness |
